A licensed professional (often a dermatologist or, in some states, a medically supervised esthetician) will direct the laser beam over an area to be treated. Treating dime sized to quarter sized sections at a time. You'll want to find out what kind of lasers are used and how well they'll work in your case. Anymore the better laser clinics will have a variety of lasers for various skin types and color of hair. Remember that those with darker skin need to be treated most carefully by any permanent laser hair remover. Since they're the ones most likely to get skin burns as dark pigment absorbs more heat from the laser. |
Also long pulsed lasers are thought to be the safest for those seeking permanent hair termination.
Each pulse will feel like something between a rubber band snap on the skin to a pinprick. See if the clinic personal will discuss the energy levels they'd recommend for your skin type as well as they time delay between pulses.
Also ask about the type of cooling that is used. Typical options include sprays, gels or a laser wand with a cooled tip.
But, that's not all. Expect to pay anywhere between $200 to $500 for a single session. And expect that multiple sessions will be needed to achieve permanent laser hair removal.
