subject: Is Laser Hair Removal The Best Solution? [print this page] You may buy the perfect shoes - you know the ones, they make your legs look a mile long. You may have the most gorgeous outfit and know how to make sure that you look your best. You may, however, still have a problem that plagues so many people: unwanted hair. We all have hair that we don't like coming from our body, and there isn't much that we can do to get rid of it. Many people opt to shave their unwanted hair, but it comes back in a very short time, especially if you're someone whose hair tends to grow quickly. Plucking is an option, but it is a very painful one, especially since you have to pull each hair individually. Waxing is another way to get rid of unwanted hairs, but most say that it's just about as painful as plucking.
It Can Last For A Long Time
Instead of getting hair plucked or waxed or shaved, you can use laser hair removal to get rid of the unwanted hair that you have. Laser hair removal is a way to rid your body of hair for a fairly lengthy amount of time. When you opt to have this type of hair removal, a technician will survey the area that has unwanted hair. They will use a machine that looks much like a large pen and will put it very close to, if not on, your skin. The machine actually emits a very specific type of laser. The laser has the power to go through the skin and kill the hair follicles that are there.
When you have laser hair removal, a little piece at a time is done. That's why it can take a significant amount of time in order to get large surfaces, such as legs or arms, completed. The good thing about laser hair removal is that it's fairly painless. You may feel a bit of warmth when you're having the procedure done, but most people don't find it painful at all. One thing to know is that it can take a bit of time in order for the hair follicles to be so damaged that they no longer produce hair, and sometimes, after treatment, hair may still grow, but if it does it will be very light and not easily noticed.
Are you a good candidate for laser hair removal? The best way to know for sure is to speak with an expert technician. When you do, make sure you ask them what you can expect from the process. Every person is an individual and not everyone has the same results from the treatment. Each person's body hair is a bit different than another. In most cases, however, you should be able to have your unwanted hair treated so that it no longer grows, or if it does continue to grow, that it will take a very long amount of time to grow back, allowing you to have a hair-free body without having to go through painful procedures for quite a while.
