Hair Removal - Some General Tips Many people want to get rid of their body hair. For men, having to shave everyday can become a hassle and for those who have lots of hair on their chest, legs, arms and back would have preferred a smoother skin on these anatomic areas. As for women, having body hair is not too esthetic. This is why they will shave their legs, arms and armpit. While normal razor or electric razors can be used to get rid of the body hair, it's only for short term. The hair will grow back quite rapidly and the same process needs to be done again. This is where comes laser hair removal for long term hair removal. Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair from the body notably on the face, back, chest, arms, legs with a laser device. The device emits a beam of light which destroys the hair follicle at the base. While some people have experienced permanent laser hair removal, others have experienced slower hair growth and as a result, long term hair reduction. Dark-skinned and tanned individuals are not ideal candidates since their skin color is too close to their hair color and can cause problems. Light-skinned individuals are best suited for laser hair removal since their skin pigment has a color contrast with their hair color. This was the case with the use of the lasers like the Ruby and Alexandrite but with more advanced laser hair removal technologies like the YAG and Diode, things have changed. These laser hair removal devices are less dependent on the color of the skin. All these lasers are red or infrared. But still among the most popular and fastest laser hair removal device is the Alexandrite. Laser hair removal is not cheap and can cost several hundred dollars. Some people who have undergone a laser hair removal treatment find it like a rubber band snap on the skin and others only like a pinch. If you experience discomfort and can't tolerate it, mild anesthetics can be administered. |
