It’s time to ditch shaving and waxing for a more permanent solution, but is laser hair removal(LHR) permanent? How long do results last? Here’s what you need to know about receiving laser hair removal in Tysons Corner, Virginia to maximize your results.

Understanding LHR

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method for removing and reducing hair. It works by safely using laser technology to deliver heat and beams of light to your hair follicles, either destroying or damaging it.

 

For an optimal outcome, you may require anywhere from four to six sessions. Depending on your personal goals and what your laser specialist will ensure as many follicles as possible are destroyed.

Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?

Yes and no. It’s crucial to understand the nuances of laser hair removal to determine if it’s a temporary fix, or permanent.

 

Typically, laser hair removal in Tysons Corner, Virginia simply reduces unwanted hair in the targeted area, halting growth for a long period of time, although not permanently. You may, however, find there are bald patches when hair does begin to grow back. This is because the hair follicle has actually been destroyed completely.

 

Destroyed hair follicles can not grow hair, so the results are permanent in this case. But, when the follicle is only damaged, this reduces hair growth for a long period of time, the follicle remaining dormant until it heals.

 

Laser technology is advancing to make results permanent every time, instead of only damaging your hair follicles. Regardless, hair grows back finer and in less prominent amounts after receiving laser hair removal, making it much more effective than razors or creams.
