The Laser Phenonemnon continues to march, but much has been learned in 10 years since lasers splashed on the scene. The fact is it is not permanent, it has however shown the ability to cause long term hair loss in some cases. The truth is a very liberating thing. the side effects are devastating; Scars, Pigment Changes, and Hair Stimulation, Yes, Hair Stimulation. I have personally seen in my office repeatedly. patients with increased growth on the face, arms, legs, & back. Today lasers are regularly advertised for hair growth purposes. It is now reported by leading dermatologists an upswing in pre-cancerous legions in their patients who used the laser repeatedly for hair removal. Insurance companies have increased premiums due to all the lawsuits associated with laser hair removal The facts are the facts! People alway want the quick fix, to take the path of least resistance. Be careful, very careful. It is your long term health and welfare at risk. One must always remember to investigate all methods of hair removal thoroughly before starting any hair removal treatment regement. No one laser works for everyone. A spa laser treatment may be totally ineffective and may do you harm, scars, stimulation of new hair growth, who knows what? Be on your guard when asked to sign anything regarding your laser treatment. You may unwittingly sign away your right to sue for any reason. Also beware of having to pay upfront for treatments. this is also a trick to dupe you of your money. The good new is, Electrolysis is still alive and well. Why? Because it works! - In fact, it works effectively on everyone.
