What is LHR?
Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses laser technology to remove and inhibit the growth of unwanted hair. The laser emits a beam of light that targets the hair follicle deep within the dermal layer of the skin.
This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle at its root, inhibiting its ability for regrowth. Here at Lux Laser Labs, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro, which consists of two lasers: Alexandrite and Nd-Yag. The advanced technology of these lasers allows us to treat all skin types safely and effectively.
The benefits of laser hair removal are extensive, but the fundamental reasoning for choosing laser hair removal over other hair removal methods comes down to one thing: convenience.
It’s safe to say that we’re all looking for upkeep methods that don’t cost us much time and energy. Although shaving and waxing remove unwanted hair, it doesn’t permanently reduce hair growth at the root.
Laser hair removal is the only proven method that destroys the hair follicles, and with appointments being every 4-6 weeks, how easy is that?
Oh! Did we mention it’s virtually painless?
Apart from convenience, laser hair removal helps with a magnitude of skin concerns.
Razor bumps? Gone!
Strawberry legs? Gone!
Ingrown hairs? Soo gone!
It even helps reduce acne, due to the absence of hair follicles.
Of course, we had to start with the most obvious.
