subject: Putting An End To A Face Full Of Hair [print this page] People would find it a great pleasure to get rid of daily shaving and the ordeal of waxing. Getting rid of facial or body hair permanently is like a dream come true for a lot of people. For the past 12 years, much improvement has been made on the technology used for laser hair removal, and it is good enough to bring out the desired result after only a few sessions.
A special kind of light set on a specified wavelength is used for the treatment, where this light is targeted on the hair follicle. When this happens, tissue surrounding the follicle is spared but the follicle itself receives thermal damage.
The reason why repeated treatments must be done is because the laser is only effective when the hair is in its active cycle. The chin and around the lips would be hair free places after just four minutes that take only around 10 to 15 minutes.
For those who want hair permanently removed from their legs or back, they would have to have around six sessions with each session lasting 30 to 45 minutes. Every treatment is done every four to five weeks because the process works only during the growth phase of the follicle.
Before undergoing the treatment, you should put off any tanning for a few weeks and you shouldn't wax or tweeze the area receiving treatment. However, shaving is permissible because the laser can still target the hair follicle. A lot of those who take the treatment exercise high tolerance for the procedure, which they describe as giving them only a pinching sensation.
Those who might feel too much discomfort from the treatment may want to try using topical anesthetic cream. There could be a chance that the area could turn slightly red. Should this happen, clients are told to keep away from the sun for a period of time and also to use sun block.
An award winning plastic surgeon and doctor at a local clinic, this man who has done the procedures before says that the laser hair removal has been in high demand these past two years. According to one female doctor at a local spa, this is the perfect solution for men and women who don't want to wax or shave again.
According to her, she went through training to become a certified technician to provide the present comfortable treatment that her clients enjoy at her spa.
Another physician says that he sometimes performs 15 procedures a day. Men who don't want to have hair on their necks, shoulders, or backs make up around 30 percent of the entire clientele.
Those who work at local clinic where laser hair removal is available say that a trend is growing among men and women to do away with unwanted hair permanently. Whatever the preferred setting, the professionals agreed that care should be taken to ensure that only trained, qualified individuals perform the treatments.
Permanent skin pigment damage, as well as serious burns, is a direct result of mishandled laser equipment. The professional involved should not be ignorant of medical problems and prescriptions since the process may be affected by these things.
A 15 minute session would cost around $100 to $250. Shaving and waxing are not anymore concerns that I have and so it's all worth it, says one patient.
