The Hair Removal Journal is the world’s leading online publication for laser hair removal. Our Advisory Board consists of some of the world’s leading scientists and researchers in the field of lasers and light-based devices. It’s critical when considering laser hair removal to know that the sources of your information are credible and reviewed by medical doctors.

Each doctor listed on the directory service of the Hair Removal Journal is a board-certified physician, licensed in his or her home state. These physicians and the members of their staff are often specially trained and experienced in laser hair removal procedures and technologies.

This is an important distinction, as many clinics now offer “low-cost” laser hair removal with little or no physician supervision. You should understand that lasers are highly delicate machines, and that they may be dangerous if used improperly.

Laser hair removal is a non-invasive method of removing hair and keeping it gone for a long period of time. It offers a number of advantages over other methods of hair removal. The technique is safe if performed properly. Laser hair removal is often considered to be less painful than other hair removal methods. The hair reduction results are often very long lasting, and some hairs may never return. Although laser hair removal is an excellent treatment option, some hair re-growth should be expected. However, this hair is usually finer and lighter in color. Possible side effects from the treatment, though very rare, may include damage to the surrounding healthy tissue in the form of scars, burns, redness, and swelling. The process is also not as effective on unpigmented (gray) hairs and red or blonde hair.
