To figure out how to remove hair permanently, it is important to first get an understanding of how hair grows in the first place. Part of hair growth is three stages namely, the active growth, the regression and the resting phases. Effective, permanent hair removal can take place only during the active growth phase.
The growth cycle of each strand is never completely the same. Most hair follicles will sometimes meet at the active growing phase. Hair growth for each stage would take around two to six months depending on a person's body make up.
Eliminate unwanted hair successfully and permanently by taking note of two major factors. These are the growth phase and the power to destroy the hair follicle In deciding which permanent hair removal system is effective and fitting, both factors must be considered.
To be successful, it is imperative that the hair be removed completely, during the active phase. Apart from shaving which can only cut above the follicle, every other method of hair removal can do this condition. If the hair follicle is taken out during the growth stage it will keep any from growing for a longer time.
The second vital permanent hair removal factor is that ability to weaken the hair follicle until it completely disintegrates. Among all hair removal systems, only laser hair removal and electrolysis hair removal meets this criterion. Weakening and destroying the hair follicle permanently eliminates hair growth.
It takes several treatments for either method to completely destroy all the hair follicles. Treatments must be repeated to destroy remaining follicles that were previously out of the active phase. What one should have is enough strength in order to endure the four to six sessions the laser hair removal treatments takes to get all the hair out.
In laser hair removal, a ray of light is used to enter the hair follicle which will absorb and turn into heat breaking the follicle down to pieces. With Laser hair removal, it can get through hundreds of follicles in a single treatment. It works especially for fair skin and dark, coarse hair.
Electrolysis, on the other hand, is a tedious process, in which a small metal device targets one follicle at a time with an electrical charge. Because it focuses on just one hair strand at a time, electrolysis hair removal may take up to ten months to complete a specific area of the body where unwanted hair is. This procedure becomes costly in the long run.
Now you're on your way to effective, permanent hair removal with this short background on the hair growth cycle and its effect on removal systems. Read on about the subject. No matter what method you choose, the most important consideration is your comfort and satisfaction.
