https://www.realself.com/news/laser-hair-removal-for-all-skin-tonesLaser hair removal has been around since the late 1990s, offering the dream of smooth, stubble-free skinโand a blissfully razor-free future. Does the reality live up to the promise? For the most part, yesโand then some. โItโs a really effective treatment modality for hair reduction,โ says Dr. Sandy Tsao, a board-certified dermatologic surgeon in Boston.
Better still, todayโs laser technology is leaps and bounds ahead of where it was even a few years back. โThe biggest innovations are in versatility, speed, and painโmeaning lack of pain,โ says Dr. Paul Jarrod Frank, a board-certified dermatologic surgeon in New York City. โA few years ago, it would take an hour to treat each legโand it wouldnโt be comfortable. Now we have technologies that allow us to do a leg in 15 minutes.โ Whatโs more, the latest cutting-edge devices, like the Motus AX, allow practitioners to safely treat a wide, inclusive range of skin tones, from creamy alabaster to dark chocolate.
