Laser Hair Removal - What You Must Know

By: Mike Singh Home | Health-and-Fitness


Most people are embarrassed about their unwanted hair. Whether this hair could be on the face or on the body, almost everyone wants it removed. They aren't looking for a short-term solution. They want a more permanent solution. For these folks, a laser hair removal system would be an ideal solution. There are a few things to keep in mind before you jump on board:

- Laser removal of hair is similar to electrolysis as far as results are concerned but its less painful. Most forms of hair removal such as waxing, threading etc are very painful. Thats why most people prefer laser hair removal, which also has a success rate of 65-85% in 2 to 3 visits. There are different laser systems on the market, each with small differences. The one main thing they have in common is that hair is removed at the follicle.

- Why do a lot of folks prefer laser hair removal? Two words - it works. The results are usually very good. Most people see a 50% decrease in hair growth in just a four month period. That too after one treatment. So, every 6 to 12 months, you get a treatment but the best part is that the hair that grows back is very little and very fine.

- Initially when the laser system Nd:YAG came out, it required waxing as a prerequisite so that the follicles are open. The reason was that in order for the laser to target the follicles effectively unwanted hair had to be removed and the follicles needed to be open. Then a carbon-based liquid was gently put on the skin. The laser heated up the lotion which damaged the follicle without harming the skin.

- This earlier system - Nd:YAG - is still being used. But, there are relatively newer and less time-intensive laser techniques on the market. One such approach uses a laser beam to warm the follicles. So, there is no need for the liquid to be applied in the first waxing step. This pulse heats up the follicle faster and overall the skin is exposed to much lesser heat.

- Lets not forget that the great results that are experienced with hair removal using lasers comes at a high cost compared to the much cheaper alternatives. In order to get rid of facial hair, the sequence of treatments would cost upwards of a thousand dollars contingent on your location. For other parts such as legs or backs of men the costs are driven up to more than three thousand dollars for the various treatments.

Once you are convinced that laser hair removal is the ideal solution for you, do your research about the treatment centers in your area. Look at atleast a dozen different website reviews and ask any many people as you can. Also, visit several different centers before making your final choice.
