Laser Hair Reduction
Laser hair reduction, the second most popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure for women and men, is well worth your time if you are exhausted from the losing battle against unwanted hair.

What It Is: Energy from a laser is used to damage the hair follicle. This makes the hair fall out -- and makes it difficult for the hair to grow back again.

What It Does: Removes hair from most areas on the body.

Skin Treatment Time: As short as 10 minutes or as long as 45 minutes, depending on amount of hair to be removed. Because hair grows in cycles, between four and eight treatments are needed, usually four to eight weeks apart. Short, coarse dark hair responds best, but removal of all types of hair except extremely light colored hair is possible.

Downtime: None.

Lasting Effect: In some people, it can be permanent. In others, hair may grow back, but it is usually lighter and easier to remove. It's important to note, however, that the hair does not come out during the treatment. Instead, it falls out gradually in the days and weeks that follow.
