subject: Be Bikini Confident With Laser Hair Removal [print this page] Laser hair removal is currently the only possible way to permanently remove hair from your body. Waxing, shaving and plucking provide a temporary solution, but none of them have the ability to permanently remove unwanted hair like electrolysis hair removal. Laser hair removal is designed to safely and effectively remove unwanted hair from your face, bikini line or other body parts without damaging the surface of your skin or negatively affecting your delicate pores. Using laser hair removal for small body parts such as the bikini line or upper lip can even be done in as little as ten minutes.
Think of all the time you spend waxing, plucking or shaving your body, only to have the unwanted hair grow back a few days or weeks later. Not only does it grow back, but sometimes the hair will even grow back thicker and darker. Shaving lasts a couple days, plucking often leaves your skin red and irritated, and waxing is incredibly painful.
The price you pay to constantly buy new razors, tweezers and wax is definitely not worth the aftermath you regularly go through as a result of these procedures. With laser hair removal, you don't have to worry about any of this because once your session is complete, you never have to return again and the hair is gone forever.
Laser hair removal is ideal for adults who are uncomfortable with their face or body as a result of hair growth. The ideal candidate has light skin and dark hair, but those with other skin and hair tones may also benefit from laser hair removal. Procedures on small areas, particularly the bikini line, can be completed in as little as ten minutes, while larger surface areas such as the back or legs can take up to two hours.
Laser hair removal works by emitting gentle beams of light into the surface of the skin to destroy hair follicles and prevent hair from continuing to grow. Since heat is emitted from the lasers, some patients experience slight discomfort. A cooling treatment protects the skin during the hair removal process so no damage is done to the layers of skin.
After the treatment, skin may appear to be slightly red or irritated, and a cooling gel compress can be applied to help calm the skin. Redness and irritation typically disappear within a few hours. Before and after treatment is done, avoid sun exposure for two weeks and use a SPF of 30 or higher to prevent skin irritation.
The results of laser hair removal are permanent, and patients who have gone through the procedures find that it is well worth the time, cost and effort now that they no longer have to buy razors or waxes. If you are constantly waxing, shaving and plucking and want a permanent alternative that will save you time and money and give you consistent confidence, laser hair removal is the perfect choice for you.
