Does laser work on all skin colors? Yes. There are specific lasers for specific skin tones. All skin tones can not be treated the same. You want to always be sure that the laser that you are being treated with is specific and safe for your skin tone and color.
Does laser hair removal only work on dark hair? Yes! The darker the hair, the better your results will be. Heat is naturally attracted to pigment. If the root of your hair has no pigment, the heat from the laser will not be attracted to it. Sorry blondies!
Does it hurt? The simple answer is no. You will feel a little warmth, and some pinching sensations. Your skin will be kept cool during your treatment with some sort of cooling device for your comfort. It is a very tolerable treatment, and in my own opinion, much less painful than be waxed.
How long does a treatment take? Laser hair removal treatments are quick. Examples:
- Chin 10-15 minutes
- Beard area 20-30 minutes
- Bikini area 15-20 minutes
- Lower legs 45-50 minutes
- Underarms 10- 15 minutes
How much does it cost? I personally don’t think you should be paying pennies for someone to put a laser on your skin, I also don’t think these treatments are something you should have to finance. Some examples on pricing might be:
- Chin treatment around $40
- Beard area around $75-$100
- Bikini area around $75-$100
- Legs around $90-$125
- Underarms around $40
(These are all my own personal estimates on what I believe is reasonable & customary)
