Is Laser Hair Removal Actually Permanent?

A good quality, medical-grade, well-maintained laser with proper settings and well-trained laser technicians should permanently reduce the amount of hair growth as is with the Sharplight Omnimax Laser used at Trims Spa.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for cheaper, older, poorly maintained laser machines and older IPLs.

Knowing the proper settings is also extremely important to the outcome of the treatments and not all technicians are adequately trained or experienced. The medical esthetician at Trims Spa is vastly experienced, highly trained and certified in this field. 

Many areas of the body can absolutely experience permanent hair reduction, but it will always be to varying degrees, depending on how good of a candidate you are.  Most clients who have dark hair will eventually reach approximately 85-95% decrease that is permanent, although some clients may want touch-up treatments from time to time on the handful of hairs left over.

The hair that will grow becomes sparser, more fine and thin after each hair removal treatment.

There are some rare instances where the body creates brand new follicles after they have been destroyed, but this is typically due to hormone imbalances and mostly occurs on the chin for women and on the back for men. Clients should seek medical advice if this happens.
