The Truth About Laser Hair Removal

by Erin Owoc, Dermatology & Laser Hair Removal Nurse Practitioner (published on 11/12/09)

SOUTH FLORIDA LASER HAIR REMOVAL: I have been performing Davie, Cooper City, Plantation and Weston laser hair removal over the past 9 years and would like to share with you my experiences by answering questions my patients commonly ask:

What is the difference between IPL and a Laser for hair removal?

A laser (specifically a Candela GentleLASE 755nm alexandrite laser) delivers light at one specific wavelength, which is specific for hair. The energy that is used is much more effective and safer in destroying the hair follicle. An IPL machine (which is not a laser) delivers a wide range of wavelengths and thus has a higher risk in damaging skin at higher energy levels. The results are not even comparable. A true “laser” is so much more effective at removing hair than an IPL. A lot of people that have received treatments elsewhere ask why they have had fifteen treatments and still have a lot of hair. It is either because of an IPL device or lack of skill in the practitioner operating the laser.

How many times do I need to go back and why?

Hair has three phases in the growth cycle and not all of your hair is in the same phase at the same time. The hair follicle must be in the active growth state for the laser to be effective. So no matter if you spend one session for 10 hours, you can never destroy all of the hair follicles in one visit. The average number of treatments is 4. The time for each visit depends on the area treated. On average it is a 15-minute treatment time.

MYTH: Laser hair removal is not permanent. 
TRUTH. When done properly, the results with laser hair removal is permanent. The following are a few reasons why it would not be permanent: 1. You did not receive the right amount of treatments. 2. Your practitioner was not using the right laser/equipment. 3. Your practitioner was not treating at the right energies. As long as you commit to the correct number of procedures and follow your practitioner’s directions, you should be very happy with your laser hair removal results.

MYTH: If you have dark skin, you cannot get laser hair removal.
TRUTH. There are now lasers that can safely treat darker skin including African American skin. For darker skin, we use a Candela GentleYag laser. Darker skin types must be very careful that the person performing laser hair removal has the correct laser for their skin and has experience treating skin of their color. 

MYTH: You will get the same results with an IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) device or with a laser for hair removal.
TRUTH: An IPL and genuine lasers are not the same. An IPL device (which is not a laser) delivers a wide range of light wavelengths and thus has a higher risk in damaging skin at higher energy levels. A laser delivers light at one specific wavelength, which makes it more effective and safer in destroying hair follicles. A laser will give you better and faster hair removal results. A lot of people that have received treatments elsewhere ask why they have had fifteen treatments and still have a lot of hair. It is usually because the facility uses an IPL device. You will need more treatments with an IPL than with a laser.

MYTH: I only need one or two visits to remove my hair.
TRUTH. Hair has three phases in the growth cycle and not all of your hair is in the same phase at the same time. The hair follicle must be in the active growth state for the laser to be effective. So no matter if you spend 10 hours in just one laser removal session, you can never destroy all of the hair follicles in one or even a few visits. The average number of treatments is 5-6. The time for each visit depends on the area treated; however the average is a 15-minute treatment time.
