When most people first hear of laser hair removal, the idea of a simple and easy procedure comes to mind. Laser hair removal is available because of innovative laser technology, and it can help many people improve their appearance, but the technology can still be limited.

Those with lighter skin and darker hair will generally see the best results from their laser hair removal treatments. If you have darker skin tones or light-colored hair, laser hair removal may be less effective for you. Blonde, red, and gray hair will typically respond less to laser hair removal treatments. Newer laser hair removal technologies are better at removing hair even on those with lighter hair or deeper skin tones. Older laser hair removal technologies may have a negative effect on those with deeper skin tones. You should ask your laser hair removal technician about their laser technology and how your coloring will affect the process. Depending on the technology, it may be necessary for you to avoid tanning for a period before and after your laser hair removal treatments. If you have a sunburn affecting the area where you will have laser treatments, the laser hair removal process will have to be delayed until the area is healed completely. Continue reading »
