Laser hair removal

A light treatment called laser treatment is used to stop the hair growing. It is not permanent, but lasts many months and is relatively quick – but also expensive.
Laser treatment may cause irritation and scarring, and after treatment:

• light skin can become darker,
• and dark skin lighter.

This treatment tends to work best on light-skinned people with dark hair as the hair absorbs more of the laser. For this reason it is recommended that you avoid tanning before treatment.
