Arms laser hair removal

Thick or dark arm hair is often recognised particularly in the west as a characteristic of the male. Dark or thick arm hair can be a concern for some women as it can create a feeling of reduced femininity. In the worst cases it can cause individuals to suffer from insecurities perhaps leading to negative body image and the corresponding  lower self esteem  and self worth.

Laser Hair Removal is a considered one of the better solutions to excess arm hair. The common alternatives of waxing and shaving have associated drawbacks. Waxing can be messy, painful and time consuming. Shaving can cause inflammation of the follicles and in-growing hairs which can provide sites for infection. Hair re-growth from shaving can also appear coarse and un-natural.

Removal of arm hair by laser hair removal treatment will usually take between 6 and 12 sessions. The session will last around 50 minutes the timing will depend upon your  hair and skin type.  When carried out correctly by a reputable clinic the sessions should be relatively painless and result in few if not no undesirable side effects.

Laser hair removal can be carried out on the upper or lower arm and can result in thinning of the arm hair in less than 6 sessions. But a reputable clinic will be able to give you advice. It is important that you follow any after care advice that the clinic gives you.
