Description

According to the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery (ASDS), laser hair removal is more than just “zapping” unwanted hairs. It is a medical procedure that reduces the amount of hair growth through a series of treatments, usually over a period of six to eight weeks and should be performed by a qualified physician. In an effort to educate consumers about undergoing laser hair removal procedures without complications, the ASDS created the following do's and don’ts guidelines: do ensure the physician has experience with different skin types, don’t tan before or after a procedure, and more.
