subject: Laser Hair Removal Machines [print this page] Laser hair removal is an increasingly popular choice for both women and men who desire to get rid of unwanted and unsightly hair on many areas of their bodies. With advancements in laser hair removal machines and procedures, it's now possible to remove all types of hair - even light colours which used to be a challenge - leaving the patient's skin smooth, hairless and pain-free.
Excessive body hair can make people feel unattractive and extremely self-conscious, especially if it's on a part of their body that's exposed to the world. Laser hair removal is not only the most effective method of removing body hair, but it has also been medically proven to have lasting reduction effects, so patients won't suffer from the same level of hair growth again. Laser treatment is also affordable, fast and convenient, making it ideal for busy people on the go.
Laser hair removal can be carried out on any part of the body, the most common for women being the face and neck, bikini line and tummy line, underarms, nipples and arms and legs. Many men also choose laser treatments to remove and reduce hair growth on their ears, back and chest. The procedures are suitable for all skin colours and skin types, though it's important to choose a reputable clinic to ensure you benefit from the latest technology - especially if you have sensitive skin.
Among the various laser hair removal machines available are ones using pulsed light, suitable for all skin and hair types, and more specifically tailored machines with longer wavelengths, which can be especially suitable for darker or tanned skin but not as effective at reducing subsequent growth.
The most important factor to consider is who will be carrying out your laser hair removal treatment, as you should insist on a qualified cosmetic nurse and aesthetic practitioner who are trained and experienced in using the technology.
Laser hair removal is a fast and convenient treatment, but still one to be taken seriously. You will likely need a course of treatments to enjoy optimum and lasting benefits from the procedure, and depending on the area being treated, each of these typically lasts between 10 and 40 minutes. You'll be able to see and feel the benefits straight away as the laser leaves behind silky smooth skin, and as it's a non-surgical procedure there's no recovery time needed, although patients are advised not to use heat treatments and to avoid sun exposure for 24 hours.
