Unwanted hair, one of women’s worst nightmares! Currently a lot of men and women are recurring to many types of ways to remove their unwanted facial and body hair; razors, wax, tweezing and creams. But not all of us are aware, and if we are, are not so sure about doing it, of laser hair removal. Does it really work? How long does it last? Well, here’s the scoop.

Laser hair removal is the usage of laser energy to greatly reduce hair production. They do this by producing heat upon the hair and introducing it into the hair follicle which inflammates it and sends it into a “resting stage”. Doing this is a little tricky in terms of time, the laser has to be upon our hair long enough to heat the hair but not too long that it actually begins to damage our skin, concurrently burning it. This is why there are three types of laser hair removal depending on our skin type and thickness of our hair.

One of the laser hair removal systems, Sona laser hair removal consists of piercing our skin with a strong laser and removing the root of the hair. The second type of laser hair removal would be Alase laser hair removal debilitates the hair root stimulating re growth of thinner and finer hair thus increasing treatments until hair is completely gone. The last system, Epila laser hair removal, which is a personal system we can use in our own homes, emits the same kind of laser as the first two systems, but it does not work on very dark skin types.

Sometimes we may think that because it is a laser treatment, there are only so many of our body parts they can be produced on because of skin sensitivity and laser strength. But really, we can have laser hair removal on most of our body parts. Treatment areas mainly consist of bikini line hair, facial hair, underarms, back hair, arms, legs, chest and abdominal hair removal.

Now, while laser hair removal system can be effective, it can also be a little costly, prices ranging from $429 to $900 depending on the area or areas we desire to be treated. Also need to be taken into mind is the quantity of treatments needed to be completely successful, thus price ranging increasing over this.

As I said before, depending on the quantity of the treatment we will know how much it’s going to cost us, so how many treatments do we need to have in order to have our hair fully removed? Hair Removal Journal 2006 advises us that up to three treatments will be able to give us good results, averaging from person to person.

No matter which method we choose to remove our unwanted hair we should always make sure to talk to our physicians about it and make sure we choose an experienced laser hair removal doctor to ensure the safety of our skin and of ourselves.

While it’s acceptable for men to sprout hair all over the place, women are obliged to devote a large part of their lives diligently removing it. Whether it’s plucking, shaving, threading, waxing or trimming, no matter what we do to remove the stuff, it insists on growing back again. Fortunately, there is another more permanent method which enables you to remove unwanted hair forever. It’s called the Boots Smooth Skin laser hair removal system and you can use it in the privacy of your own home.

What is the Boots Smooth Skin hair remover?

The Boots Smooth Skin hair removal system is a small laser machine which is designed for home use. It uses iPulse Hair Reduction Technology and is a mini version of the machines which are used in salons. The machine consists of a base unit and hand held laser which must be connected to mains electricity. It’s only 24cm tall by 18cm wide in size and comes complete with a smart cream colored storage vanity case.

What is IPL?

Intense Pulse Light Therapy (IPL) is an advanced form of light-based beauty therapy which can be used to permanently remove hair. By generating a short, intense pulse of filtered light into the skin, the colored pigments around the hair absorb the light, which disables the hair follicle, preventing further re-growth.

Who can use it?

Unfortunately, the system isn’t suitable for everyone. Because the light pulses work best on dark hair follicles growing from a fair skinned person, this makes it unsuitable for those with very fair, red, grey or white hair. It also rules out those who are dark skinned or with a suntan. However, if you are a light skinned person with blond hair, but have darker hair in places you’d rather not, you could use this system.

Where on the body can it be used?

You can use the iPulse system to remove hair from any part of the body where there is hair growth. However, you are strongly recommended not to use it on areas such as the head or eyebrows, as hair will not grow back! Ideally, it’s best used on the legs, underarms, bikini line and darker facial hair.

How do you use it?

It’s very easy to use. First you must trim or shave any hair you wish to remove, then cover the skin with the special activator gel, which is best stored in the fridge so it’s nice and cold. You should also cover any moles or freckles with something such as a white eye pencil to block the light. After setting it to your skin type, you must wait for the indicator light to let you know it’s

I purchased a TRIA Hair Removal System a few months ago and just finished my third and fourth course of treatments. I am excited to see that my body hair is becoming lighter and finer, especially on my bikini line and underarms. I am looking forward to eventual freedom from the hassle and expense of shaving and waxing.

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the TRIA system, visit

www.TRIAbeauty.com for more information. In this article, rather than going into the details of how TRIA works, I would like to share some tips and tricks for current or prospective TRIA users that I have discovered from my own use.

#1. Always charge the TRIA laser after every use.

One of the only drawbacks of the TRIA system is that the laser doesn’t hold its charge for that long. When working on a large area, such as your legs, you may have to stop in the middle to charge the laser. However, because treating large areas can become tedious, this is often a welcome break. To help ensure that your laser doesn’t power off while treating smaller areas, make sure to charge it after each use so that it is ready to go the next time around.

#2. Prepare the area well.

Part of the TRIA laser hair removal process includes shaving the area before treatment. I have found that the more carefully I shave, the less discomfort I experience during treatment. Take the time to get a close and complete shave and dry the area well before applying the laser and you should experience minimal discomfort.

#3. Experiment with the different energy levels.

If you are experiencing any discomfort, don’t be afraid to select a lower energy level. While I was surprised to find that the pain involved was much less significant than I expected, I have found that certain areas (such as the bikini line) are more sensitive than others. I may be able to use the highest energy level on my legs or arms, but will go back to level one or two when treating my bikini line or underarms. The benefit of using the highest level is that it is most effective, but I would rather have to perform more treatments at a lower energy level than experience increased discomfort. Remember that some users experience no negative sensation at all and that any discomfort will decrease in future treatments along with the amount of hair.

#4. Track your treatments.

TRIA couldn’t make this step easier for you. Included with your laser will be a handy, purse-sized calendar with stickers so that you can keep track of your treatments. It may seem unnecessary
