What is hip and fashionable changes just as fast as you can change your clothes, but one thing on your body remains stylish throughout history, silky skin. Everyone who knows what they’re talking about will tell you that runway style is always secondary to fabulous skin. And barring the latest HD foundations and cosmeceutical lotions, epilation or hair removal is a certain method towards perfect skin.
You can choose from multiple strategies to get rid of the unnecessary fuzz. Take your pick, shave, pluck or slather on a depilatory cream, but you may find that laser hair removal is the most economical and effective.
Laser hair removal uses laser or beams of light that penetrates the skin and destroy each hair follicle. This makes the existing strand fall, and if done well, may stop hair from growing again.
Previously, most laser hair removal machines were used ideally with darker hair on fairer skin. Since melanin or what gives your skin color is what is eliminated when the lasers penetrate skin and destroy the hair follicle, special considerations were needed for skin with more melanin. Except now there are more advanced models which will work on most skin and hair colors.
Usually depending on the area hair is being removed from and the thickness of the growth, laser hair removal is done in a series of days. It can take four to six days, spread out four weeks apart to see a considerable reduction in hair growth. The process may seem arduous, laser hair removal will eliminate the need from razors or monthly waxing sessions which also justifies the high first investment. It is recommended that maintenance sessions be done every couple of years.
Your doctor will be good to tell you that laser hair removal will cause the unwanted hair to fall out, permanent removal can not be guaranteed. Though take comfort that you will see a significant thinning of hair on areas you’ve had laser hair removal on.
If done properly and by a professional, there are very few side effects to laser hair removal such as slight skin irritations which are temporary. Laser hair removal, because it is used on melanin, may affect the pigmentation of your skin. But this usually happens only if the laser hair removal is done by someone who is not properly trained.
