Permanent Laser Hair Removal
If you're looking for a long-term solution to getting rid of those unsightly,
unwanted body and facial hairs, then permanent laser hair removal may just be the answer
you've been waiting for. But just how permanent is this promise of hair removal?
Eliminating unwanted hairs using a laser is, to-date, the most effective solution for
permanent hair removal. This, in comparison to other more traditional methods like
tweezing, plucking, waxing, threading and even electrolysis, laser hair removal is fast
and produces more effective, permanent results. How a permanent laser hair removal
treatment works is that a high-energy laser is focused onto the area of the body where
hair needs to be removed. The pigment in the hair follicles naturally absorbs the energy
in the laser generating heat within its shaft. The intense heat generated damages the
hair follicle preventing it from producing future hair growth. With hair follicles that
are no longer able to produce hair, the permanency of this approach is more or less
assured.
Hair removal by laser is extremely precise and because of this even small areas on
the body can be targeted for hair removal. In addition, because many hair follicles in
the area can be simultaneously treated, this procedure is relatively fast compared to an
approach like electrolysis, which could take many hours of treatment to completely
remove the unwanted hairs. As the laser only affects the hair follicles, the surrounding
skin tissue is generally not affected. This, however, is dependent on the skin
pigmentation of the individual; some skin complexions are more suited for permanent
laser hair removal than others.
Although laser hair removal treatments are performed relatively quickly, you might be
required to undergo several sessions before the hairs are completely removed. A
consultation and detailed evaluation with a skilled laser hair removal specialist should
be able to give you a clear indication of your skin and hairs suitability for this
treatment, as well as the number of sessions you might require based on their assessment
and on the number and size of the areas you need hair to be removed from.
Your quest for permanent laser hair removal may also treat you to a lesson in
patience. This is because our hairs grow in cycles with some areas growing hair when
other areas are not and vice versa. For hair to be eliminated successfully, they must be
removed while they are in their growing phase. As a result, your laser specialist may
require you to undergo your sessions that span over a few months in order for your
treatment to be completely effective.
With its low risk and high level of effectiveness, permanent laser hair removal may
be a more expensive procedure than other methods of hair elimination. However, this
expense should be weighed against the benefits of this treatment - its long-term
effects, consistent records of success and little or no associated side effects and
problems.
Remember that the laser treatment center and specialist you choose play an important
part in your overall experience. Choose one that you feel most comfortable with and that
will meet your requirements with the best service care possible. When it comes to laser
hair removal, it is vital that you do not stinge on quality, as this will make a
significant difference in the success of your laser hair removal treatment.
