For persons that have gotten tired of always shaving or waxing their hairs, the best way out may be to use laser hair removal.

It is also a painful technique that causes scarring. In consideration of laser hair removal Worcester residents should know what to expect.

Laser removal is not ideal for all skin types and hair colors. For the best results, one should have light skin and dark hairs. This is because the procedure targets pigmented tissues and works best on grey, white and red hairs. The body areas that are mostly targeted are the lips, underarms and arms. There is also the bikini line, legs and chest. For larger areas of the body, the treatment will be expensive.

Depending on the color of hair and area of skin being removed, you will require some 6 to 8 sessions for the best results. After treatment, there are likely to be some side effects, the commonest being that the area will become swollen and sore for minutes or hours. In some cases, the skin lightens or becomes dark.
