Laser Hair Removal Myths—Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow, Well Kind of…

There are many myths surrounding laser hair removal. As the premier Medi Spa in Los Angeles, Blue Medi Spa in Sherman Oaks feels compelled to set the record straight. The most common misconception is that laser hair removal actually removes all unwanted hair, it doesn’t. Laser hair removal permanently reduces unwanted hair, meaning all of the hair may be removed but in some cases it can come back. This can often be attributed to hormonal changes such as pregnancy or menopause. Another misconception is that individuals with darker skin tones do not benefit from laser hair removal. That’s completely false. Although once upon a time it was more challenging to treat darker skin tones, today’s lasers are finely tuned to address all skin types and tones with excellent results. The most important myth however is the idea that one treatment will eradicate unwanted hair. Although it’s understandable why clients can wish this to be so, the truth is hair grows in stages and several treatments are necessary to eliminate as much unwanted hair as possible. One aspect that isn’t a myth is that laser hair removal is still the ideal procedure to safely and effectively eliminate unwanted hair. So if you’re feeling done with the hirsute look, give Blue Medi Spa a call and we’ll get you looking sleek and hair-free before swimsuit season.
