Laser hair removal treatment is an answer
to prayer. For years and years women of all ages all over
the world have wrestled with how to get rid of unwanted hair.
Whether it is on their face, under their arms or in the bikini
area, there has been plucking, tweezing, waxing and any other
way to remove it. But now with the laser hair removal treatment,
we don’t have to deal with it anymore.
If you have hair that you want to get rid of, then the laser
hair removal treatment is for you!
Just know this; you have hair; the laser hair removal treatment
will eliminate it.
How does it work?
The laser beam shoots heat below the surface of the skin
and damages the hair follicle. Initially it slows the growth,
but after several treatments, the hair follicle dies, many
times permanently. And if it does return, with laser hair
removal treatment, it will grow back thinner. There usually
is up to a 75% reduction in hair growth.
Laser hair removal treatments take place in your doctor’s
office and depending on the size of the surface, can be done
in less than an hour. There may be bit of heat in areas but
usually there is none associated with it. If there is, the
doctor can apply a bit of a topical anesthetic and it will
quickly take the pain away.
Don’t be alarmed if, when having a laser hair removal
treatment done, that the area is a bit red and swollen for
a day or so. That is totally normal.
Be sure that you stay out of the sun for months after you
get a laser hair removal treatment done. Your skin will be
very sensitive to it. If you wear sunscreen at all times,
especially if you live in an area where there is a lot of
sun, you will not develop any discoloration.
Does insurance cover a laser hair removal treatment?
That is debatable. It depends, obviously, on the type of
insurance you have. But most of the time, medical insurance
will not cover this unless there is a definitive medical reason
why you have to have your hair removed. As you can see by
how that sounds, there probably isn’t a legitimate reason
why you medically would have to have a laser hair removal
treatment.
The best thing to do is to find a good doctor in your area
and get a consultation. They are usually free and then you’ll
have an idea of how to do this without insurance. If you don’t
know who to go to, look for online reviews of the doctor or
go to a site that you trust and visit their links. Getting
a consultation cost you nothing and can really be enlightening.
Good luck with your laser hair removal treatment!
