Laser Hair Removal: Is It Permanent?

Laser hair removal can offer an effective solution for people with unwanted body hair–and it’s safe for all skin types and tones. Whether you want to banish the hair from your bikini line, underarms, legs, back or chest, laser hair removal can help reveal smooth skin and give you a renewed sense of confidence!

But after all the time, effort, and money that go into the treatments, you may have one lingering question: Will the results be permanent?

The answer can be a bit more complicated than a simple “yes” or “no.” Laser hair removal is designed to remove body hair – but the results may not always be permanent. But it’s still one of your best options for putting an end to your body hair woes.

The only way to permanently remove hair is to destroy the follicle, which is responsible for growing and coloring the hair. Laser hair removal can permanently remove up to 70% of body hair; however, the remaining 30% will usually grow back much thinner and lighter.

If you’re looking to maintain the smooth, hair-free results of laser hair removal, you may need to go for a touch-up procedure about once a year. Laser hair removal can be very affordable and is more cost effective than waxing or threading, which only remove hair temporarily.
