subject: 5 Reasons Why Laser Hair Removal Is One Of The Most Popular Aesthetic Medical Treatments [print this page] Even in this uncertain economy, laser hair removal remains as one of the top five noninvasive cosmetic medical treatments across North America. Along with BOTOX, injectable fillers and microdermabrasion, it appears that men and women still want a hair-free face and body despite higher unemployment rates, less disposable income and the rising cost of living. While the treatment ranked third in a survey compiled by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons for 2009, laser hair removal came in second in another survey compiled by the American Academy of Cosmetic Surgery. And why have more laser hair removal treatments been performed, with numbers increasing every year?
There may be a number of reasons for this:
1.More and more people are becoming more aware of their appearance and just want to look good.
2.Recent studies have shown that people do believe that an improved appearance can give them a competitive edge at work. Better image boosts their career.
3.Cosmetic surgery clinics and doctors understand the demand for the service, and are offering better pricing and discounts to attract business. For example, http://www.tcclinic.com/laser-hair-removal-toronto.php offer laser hair removal fees that are 50% off the regular price.
4.Cosmetic surgery is becoming less and less taboo, allowing more people to take advantage of it without being embarrassed.
5.Laser hair removal can also safely treat ingrown hairs without causing damage. Ingrown hairs can be extremely irritating to the skin, resulting in acne, painful bumps and roughness. The procedure is one of the most effective and least expensive ways to treat the problem.
Laser hair removal is a permanent method of treating unwanted hair growth. Anywhere on the face and body can be targeted, including the armpits and genital area. Really, the only place that any laser technology used for the procedure absolutely cannot treat is the area around the eyes. The skin in the eye area is extremely delicate, and coupled with the dangers of exposing the eyes to intense pulsed light, it can seriously damage the skin and more importantly, the vision of the patient. For this reason, patients should never treat the skin in the area immediately around the eyes. The surrounding bone (the upper cheek bone and bone at the eyebrows) is a good way to determine where the untreatable and treatable areas are located.
