Unlike other methods of hair removal, LASER hair removal must be performed by a dermatologist, not just an aesthetician.
The procedure became available in the mid 1970s, but it wasn’t until the late ’90s that the FDA approved the procedure for PERMANENT hair reduction. Although it is not literally PERMANENT (only electrolysis is considered fully permanent), ‘permanent’ hair reduction is defined by the FDA as the long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs that re-grow after a treatment routine.
