They come in different forms, like the conventional type from tweezers, hair removal creams or gels to the highly sophisticated machine that uses the principle of electrolysis and laser. Although these methods do achieved the result that we all want, it is the laser hair removal system that has produce the most amazing result.

However, the question of whether laser hair removal does give a permanent result is still the main consent of the users. So due to the high cost of laser hair removal, it is important that we go deep into finding the answer of this question. And this is why I have created this article. But first of all, we need to discuss about what really going on in the process of laser hair removal and how it works; as it will help you better understand the answer.

The theory behind laser hair removal lies in the process of damaging the hair follicles in the scalp, so that they stop growing new hairs. While most hair removal gadgets on the market can produced desire result, the permanent hair removal laser treatment has found to be most long lasting. During the treatment, the laser is transmitted to the follicles in the scalp.  The melanin which is the primary determinant of hair color got heat up and cause damage to the follicles until they are disable or dead. And the follicles that have been disable may not grow new hair until the next grow cycle.

In order to make the result last, multiple hair laser permanent removal treatment are required in a series of monthly or every other month. And on the average, an approximately 4 to 7 treatments are needed to reach 80 to 90 percent of permanent hair reduction for the right candidates. However in between the treatments, there is still possibility that new hairs will grow during grow cycle. The new hairs that have just grow might not be in the growing phase during the last treatment and laser hair removal treatment only work on hair in growing stage. This is the reason why there is a need for multiple treatments. Multiple treatments will ensure that all hairs are treated. But they will either be in lesser amount, finer strands or combination of both. An option is to shave the new grown hairs between treatments to keep them at bay.

The answer to that, really depend on many factors. If the right candidate can find the best laser hair removal treatment and have enough treatments to remove all hairs, the result will most probably be permanent. But there are some minor cases where the right candidate faces regrowth of hairs after the full treatment routine. In this consequence, maintenance treatment might have to be done once or twice a year to keep clear of unwanted hairs.
