What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is designed to permanently remove unwanted body hair by using the light energy from a laser.
Unwanted hair is a common problem in women and men. Other methods of hair removal such as shaving, waxing, and tweezing only produce temporary results and can generally only be carried out on relatively small areas.
Laser hair removal treatment can be used to permanently treat and remove small and large areas of unwanted hair from the body. For those who have the means to go for it, laser hair removal is one of the most popular ways of getting rid of hair growing where it is not wanted.
How does laser hair removal work?
The main ’substance’ used in laser hair removal is light. Other hair removal methods most often involve the use of chemical agents. In laser hair removal, no chemical is used, but only natural light. For this reason, laser removal of hair is considered safer than most other hair removal methods. What is done to the light, in order to make it work as a removal of hair mechanism is that it is intensified; and then pulsed, to produce the laser energy beams, which are then applied on the skin to get rid of the unwanted hair.
The beauty of laser hair removal is that the treatments are designed to get rid of unwanted hair right from its root, rather than getting rid of actually hair strands. Laser hair removal prevents the formation of unwanted hair strands in the first place. This is achieved by heating melanin, an important component for the formation of hair, in the areas where the person using the laser removal of hair doesn’t want hair to grow. Deprived of melanin in those spots, there is absolutely no way for hair to grow there – and in this way, laser hair removal deals with the unwanted hair problem right at its root.
Can anybody take advantage of laser hair removal?
Both men and women seek laser hair removal services to have superfluous or unwanted hair removed. Hair removal is commonly done on lip, chin, ear lobe, shoulders, back, underarm, abdomen, buttocks, pubic area, bikini lines, thighs, face, neck, cleavage, chest, arms, legs, hands, and toes.
Laser works best with dark coarse hair. Light skin and dark hair are an ideal combination, but new lasers are now able to target dark black hair even in patients with dark skin.
