Laser hair removal is a great way to free yourself of the ritual burdens of outdated hair-removal methods, and enjoy smooth, healthy skin. For those with ingrown hairs, razor bumps, darkening and scarring, laser hair removal can be a critical component to improving the skin’s overall health and appearance. In looking for a good place to get laser hair removal, there are many things to consider:
Safety. Find a reputable establishment, preferrably at least a couple of years old. Look for a practice with an involved, available Medical Director (not just a diploma hanging on the wall). Laser hair removal is fairly routine for well-trained nurses (in California, laser operators must be Registered Nurses "or above"), but when questions or concerns arise, they must have access to a supervising MD at all times. You can ask at your consultation something like, "What would happen if I had a bad reaction? Is there a doctor that could be called?"
Value. Make sure you compare “apples and apples”. There are many different ways to approach the laser hair removal purchase. You can buy single treatments (almost never recommended) or a package. Regardless of which laser is used, laser hair removal requires a series of treatments, and it is impossible to predict how many sessions one will need. You want some kind of protection of your investment. Remember that even with very effective laser hair removal, in the future, new hair growth can be stimulated (hormone changes, pregnancy, etc.) or a few follicles that went "dormant" can be restimulated, so it is best if you don't have to buy another package when these things arise! Unfortunately, most operations that gave any sort of free guarantee have since gone out of business, but at least try to find an arrangement that gives you a break on future treatments after you’ve spent money and time on a hair removal package.
Comfort. You should feel comfortable in the facility you choose...you will likely be going back several times. Get your questions answered. Make sure that risks and alternatives are presented, and avoid being pressured into making a decision.
