• What is laser hair removal and how it works?
It is one of the latest trends in cosmetic hair removal being widely used in the UK. It is also one of the long lasting methods. The laser basically aims a concentrated beam of light on the area to be treated and destroys the hair follicle. Destroyed hair follicle means no hair.
It also treats the new growing hair beneath the skin, which are not visible to the naked eye. This treatment doesn’t let hair to grow for several months. It requires 4 or more treatments depending on the type of skin. It can be a little expensive and painful at times. But don’t worry; pain is no more than a pinch and besides there are anaesthetic creams that you can use. You know what’s the best thing about it? The hair can be removed from anywhere from the body.

After this treatment the skin looks more refresh and glowing. Mostly there are no side effects of this treatment, but when there are they last only for a few days and it’s not something to worry about. Doctors use protective gels before starting the procedures, they even give medicines to apply on treated areas after the treatment.

• My opinion …
My name is Victoria and I am a health care technology manager. After all the researching and consulting I personally think that having a laser treatment is the best method to opt for removing unwanted body hair rather than using short-lasting methods. Hair-free body is what we all girls want so that we can wander freely without any hesitation. I think it’s a step worth taking. As there is no pain, but all gain.
