Sometimes, getting what you want can seem like pulling hair. And unfortunately if what you want is silky smooth skin free of unwanted hair, then it isn’t so much like pulling hair, as it actually is pulling hair… although you might prefer shaving or waxing to plucking. But what’s the alternative?
Laser hair removal.
It’s hard to believe anyone enjoys either painful electrolysis or spending money on expensive creams. Especially when after wasting the time and money, and enduring the pain, the unwanted hair simply returns again and again and you have to start the whole process all over. So what’s a girl – or guy – to do?
Laser hair removal.
In the past 5 years, incredible strides have been made to hair laser technology that offers both efficiency and versatility for laser hair removal patients. Now, people who weren’t considered candidates for laser hair treatments are able to see significant, if not total hair removal. While laser hair removal for dark skin was frowned upon in the past, advanced lasers such as the Nd:Yag and the Aurora laser by Syneron offer new hope to those suffering specifically from ingrown hairs.
Whether unwanted hair is the result of genetics, hormones, pregnancy or just a by-product of getting a little older, today’s laser hair treatments can remove it. And, the procedure not only removes problem hair from the face, but can also eliminate it from large areas of the body like the:
• Neck
• Back
• Shoulders
• Chest
• Arms, and
• Legs
And while the technology is quite advanced, the treatment to prevent future hair growth is easy to understand: laser light targets the offending hair follicle; melanin (pigment) absorbs this light; and, heat disables the follicle (without damaging surrounding tissue). Although multiple laser hair removal treatments are usually needed due to the hair’s growth cycle, you’ll be glad to know that the procedure can be performed in as little as ten minutes, making it cost-effective both in terms of time and money. The procedure is even safe and effective on all skin types, including tanned skin.
It’s easy to look to the past and say things were better back then. Not true with getting rid of unwanted hair, because when it comes to laser hair removal, it doesn’t get any better.
