Get Rid of Forehead Baby Hair with Laser Hair Removal

Baby hairs on the forehead is a common complaint among women who like to wear their hair pulled back. These hairs are finer and shorter than the rest of our hair. Whether our hair style is straight or curly, removing stray hairs from the hair line is a worthwhile investment if you are intent on looking more polished and well-groomed.

Reality star Kim Kardashian has spoken out about her obsession with hair removal and even admitted that she used to wax her forehead. The brunette beauty said that up until few years ago she had baby hairs around her hairline until she tried laser hair removal. Outdated photos showing Kim Kardashian with her natural hairline.

How does Laser Hair Removal works ?

The laser energy is selectively absorbed by dark coloured pigments within hair follicles leaving the surrounding skin intact. The hair is destroyed within the follicle. The limitation of laser hair removal is that light-coloured hairs (light blonde or white hairs) cannot be removed using this method.

How many sessions of Laser Hair Removal do I need ?

To achieve a smooth hairline, most people will need an average of 3 to 4 treatments, at approximately 4 to 8 weeks' intervals.

Are the results of Laser Hair Removal permanent ?

The effects of treatment are permanent, although a touch-up may be required occasionally from time to time for best results.

What are the possible side effects of Laser Hair Removal ?

Laser hair removal is a very safe procedure when performed by a well-trained and licensed doctor. In the wrong hands, burns and patchy hyperpigmentation (darker then normal skin colour) or hypopigmentation (lighter then normal skin colour) can occur.

What are the benefits of Laser Hair Removal over other methods of hair removal such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) ?

Laser hair removal can be safely performed on all skin types, including people with dark skin whereas most IPLs are only safe to treat those with fair skin types. In addition, the quality of IPL machines can vary.

How do I prepare for Laser Hair Removal ?

If you are planning to undergo laser hair removal, you should limit plucking, waxing and electrolysis for four weeks before the treatment because the doctor needs to locate the hairs' roots (which are temporarily removed by waxing or plucking). You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment as sun exposure may increase the risk of complications following treatment.
