The course of duration for laser hair removal on the face?

It depends on the type of hair you have and how much of it, but you will need at least 3-4 treatments.\n\nThe natural cycle of hair is to grow, rest and fall out.  Lasers will only destroy hair in the growth phase.  If the treatments are timed about a month apart, you can usually get most of the hair in 3 treatments, but you will notice a significant reduction after the first treatment.\n\nYou may still need touch up treatments from time to time.

yeah electrolysis or laser hair removal. i've done laser hair removal but havent gotten the best results so far. but i'm sure it varies with everyone. i've def. seen a difference with it done, but i havent gotten to the hair-free point yet. but i'm sure it's possible with enough treatments. just gets a little pricey unless you can catch a special. but def. worth going in for a consultation atleast!

Depends on the severity of the burn.  A new epidermis (outer layer of skin) develops every 28 days.

Your best option for this question is to research on the Net from reputible sites. Then make an appointment with your doctor of choice for laser. Make a list of your concerns and questions. (Please do this because you'll forget some of them during the consult if you don't.)Generally, your first appointment/consultation is free. The ones that actually do this surgery are the ones that can answer all your questions. Don't rely on answers here. I would be surprised if there was someone that does that type of procedure here answering questions and would be leary of ones that say they are. Good luck!

As for the fat part, just go to the gym every day and work out with weights and cardio, both!! Secondly, regarding the hair on your back and stomach, laser hair removal is your best option. But I must warn you laser hair removal will give you permanent REDUCTION of hairs, NOT permanent removal. Some of the hairs not permanently removed with be thinner, otherwise it doesn't work. Trust me, I underwent 12 PAINFUL!!! treatments over a 3 1/2 years. It cost me over 3k! I am not pleased with the results at all considering what it cost me. I still have to shave the back of my neck after all I went through.

My friend had a really good experience with removing a "spot" that was worrisome to the doc.  As for cosmetic lasers, get the credentials and references.

I have had laser hair removal.  The results depend on a lot of things, including your age, your hair growth patterns, which laser is used, etc.\n\nThe laser can only kill active hairs.  At any given time, about 20% of the hairs on your body are active.  This means you normally need at least five treatments to remove the hair from one area.  \n\nLaser hair removal has not been proven to provide any sort of premanent removal OR reduction for people still in puberty.\n\nSome lasers only treat dark hair on pale skin, while others can be adjusted for lighter hair colors and darker skin tones.  Some laser have cooling tips, others don't... this affects the level of pain and consequently the probability you will return at least four more times to finish the treatment.\n\nMy advice would be to get a written contract guaranteeing certain specific results before paying any money for this service.  It can work, but it doesn't always.

Yep!  You can go get laser hair removal.  It actually kills the root though so the hair will never grow back.  Some people need up to five treatments, but it is so worth it!  Imagine never having to shave again!  \n\nOnly thing is before you do this make sure you are never going to want facial hair.  Even if you don't do so many treatments that all the roots die it will be really, really thin.  Too thin to grow anything you'd be proud of...lol.\n\nWell, here is a link to a really good laser clinic.  They are who I use and recommend.  Good luck!\n\nwww.advancedlaserclinics.com

I shave my legs. \nShaving-this is the easiest way that I know of. It is painless (unless you cut yourself). The only downfall is that if you have darker hair like me that grows fast, then you will probably have to shave every day. \nWax-i believe that this lasts two weeks to one month. this costs money becasue you need to get it done somewhere. usually like a salon or spa place. this is the most painful method that I know of. If you are going to get a waxing, then you have to grow your hair out longer. thats the only downfall other than the pain. I have always wanted to try it. \nIf you want to go cheaper, you can get the Nair roll-on wax. You can take this one home and do it yourself. You should be able to get it from any drug store.\nOther Methods-hair removal lotions like Nair and Veet\nNair-don't use it. many women have an allergic reaction and it smells bad. \nVeet-I have been wanting to use it. It lasts twice as long as shaving and I don't think that it smells. \n\nI hope that I have given you the answer that you want! :D

Electrolysis and laser hair removal are “permanent” hair removal methods but are expensive and you have to find a trained professional, otherwise your skin could be damaged. \nA review of the various hair removal methods is available at http://tinyurl.com/ob6tt

Qualitative answer:\n\nConsidering that the flux from the sun on average is 600 W/m^2 here in Hawaii, and that you can get sunpoisoning from not wearing sunblock between 11-1p, I would say that the length of time a person could stand this kind of intensity would be extremely little.  In fact, the measurement you gave was on the order of some lasers that are currently used in the medical field.  For example, a carbon dioxide laser produces between 1000-1400 (typically 1200) W/cm^2 intensity level.  I would have to conclude this level of power would sear skin INSTANTLY.  Not something you want to deal with...

Your are correct that your practioner messed up.   \n\nHair follicles are in either an active growth phase or a dormant phase.   The goal for laser treatments is to catch the hairs during an active growth phase as the laser works by heating up the melanin in a hair shaft during  the active phase.   Different hairs on different parts of your body grow at different rates and have different durations for their active and inactive cycles.   To optimize hair removal, guidelines state that you should treat areas above the neck line every 4-6 weeks and hairs below the neck line every 6-12 weeks.   If you missed a hair treatment, then the Dr. has statiscally ensured that you will need more treatments as the duration will be messed up to treat the largest % of hairs in the actice growth phase.
