Laser Hair Removal – Myths and Facts You Should Know

Introduction:

Myths and misinformation can cause unnecessary fear and misunderstanding on a wide variety of topics. Laser hair removal in Salt Lake City is no exception. Myths and misinformation can include who is eligible for this simple procedure, and who typically invests in it. These myths need to be debunked so we can fully understand whether laser hair removal is right for you.

Myth: Laser hair removal will cause hair to grow back thicker than before.

If this was true, then there would be many hair transplant specialists out of a job. Men and women would be lined up for this treatment, hoping that they too could have a full head of hair. The lasers destroy the hair follicles so that they can no longer grow, they cannot create new follicles to grow them.

Myth: Laser hair removal is not effective on people with dark skin

There have been advancements in laser hair removal that, regardless of the color of your skin, allow it to be effective. While it is true that darker skin will react differently to treatments than paler skin, all skin types can have laser hair removal when paired with experienced aestheticians and top-tier lasers, such as the Sciton Joule™ X Laser that Spruce uses.

Myth: Vegetarians can’t get laser hair removal

We’ve heard this one a number of times but it took a while to understand where this myth came from. The idea here is that vegetarians often eat vegetables that can change the color of their skin when eaten in very high quantities, such as carrots or pumpkin. Vegetables that are high in beta-carotene can cause a skin condition called carotenemia that changes the color of the skin to a yellowish orange. Vegetarians can rejoice, however, because this is only a myth and the truth is that vegetarians have great laser hair removals at Spruce.
