I'm Keeley Selvage with Keeley's Skin Solutions. I've been a licensed Clinical Aesthetician
for over half a decade and I'm going to talk to you about whether or not Laser Hair Removal
is permanent. That is a very good question, actually. It's actually 98-99% permanent.
Now I'm going to tell you why that is, and what exactly that means. Now in order for
the Laser to work, what happens is the heat from the Laser travels down the hair, and
it kills the hair root. Therefore, that root is permanently killed. It's not going to create
any more hairs. But, now the Laser is only attracted to hairs that are in the growth
stage. We have four stage of hair growth, therefore, repeated treatments are going to
be need for that. Now in order for it to be 100% permanent, all of the hair would have
to grow at the same time. But, it doesn't do that. So it's only 98-99% permanent. And
you will have to come in for touch ups, really once or twice a year. Maybe even shave a little
bit, but, for the most part, that hair is gone, it's smooth and it's wonderful. One
thing you also want to keep in mind, is that changing hormones can actually create new
hair follicles. So that doesn't mean that the Laser didn't work, that just means that
your body's changing and it's creating more hair follicles. So you may have to go back
for more treatments because of that as well. My name is Keeley Selvage with Keeley's Skin
Solutions and that is the answer to whether or not Laser Hair Removal is permanent.
