Laser Hair Removal Is The Most Effective Method For Removing Unwanted Hair

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is becoming increasingly more popular. Lasers are far superior at removing unwanted hair than any of the method such as waxing electrolysis, tweezing, depilatory creams and shaving. In contrast to electrolysis, laser hair removal is an extremely fast procedure. Lasers have greatly improved the ease and efficiency at which unwanted hair can be removed.

Lasers effectively remove unwanted hair from small sites and large areas such as the chest, thigh and legs. Clinical research has consistently shown that the laser light is selectively absorbed by the dark melanin pigment found in the hair shaft and the reproductive cells of the hair follicle. The absorption of the laser light by pigmented structures heats the hair follicle cells and sufficiently damages them to prevent hair regrowth.

The lighter your hair, the more treatments you will need because there is less melanin for the laser light to act on. Current lasers work poorly on white hair and slightly on blond hair. Laser hair removal has minimum side effects. The side effects are redness and irritation that goes away in a short time.

Several sessions of laser treatment may be required because the laser only destroys hairs that are in their active growth phase at the time of the treatment. Because hairs in a given area of the body are likely to have entered their growth cycles at different times of treatment, several sessions of laser treatment is necessary to destroy all of the hair follicles.

Depending on the area to be treated and the amount of hair on the area, it could take at least 3 to 6 treatments. The treatments are typically scheduled at six week intervals. Maintenance treatment is also required to keep the hair under control.

There are several advantages for using lasers for hairremoval. A major advantage of lasers for hair removal is that any area of the body can be treated such as the bikini area, chest, back, and shoulders, etc. Another advantage of lasers is that it targets hundreds of follicles at a time thereby making the procedure much faster than electrolysis.

Laser treatment for hair removal is relatively expensive and the cost caries among dermatologists. Thus, if you are considering laser hair removal, you should consult with at least three different dermatologists to compare their services and fees before you sign up with a particular dermatologist.
