Q&A
Q. I would like to know if about beard removal with laser light and Epilight treatments. I would like to know something about the costs of these treatments roughly and how these treatment works. I would like to know also of the results and whether if anyone has used these treatments to remove their beard growth.
Response by Krystle Glass
A. This is something I myself have a keen interest in. Now according to the FDA the only "permanent" hair removal methods in existence today is electrolysis. HOWEVER, I do know some people who have had a measure of success with laser removal. I know of nobody who has been satisfied with the results from Epilight removal, especially on male beards. Those people who have had the best results with laser hair removal had the following: a) The laser used was of the excimer (?) laser type b) they had dark beard hair c) they were light or fair-skinned d) they still needed multiple treatments (just as in regular electrolysis) due to hair growth cycles. There are possible complications, just as in any cosmetic procedure and these should be discussed in depth with whomever you decide will be doing the procedure. Costs vary widely based on geographic location so I really cannot give oyu any good idea. Another factor in cost is how heavy a growth is to be treated. The heavier the growth the more treatments it will take.
