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

The Tria home laser hair removal system is a product that is getting a huge boost in buzz thanks to its FDA approval as a legitimate permanent hair removal solution. Hype aside, the question is not only if it will work, but will it work for you, is it safe, and does it make sense for you to buy? Laser hair removal is a proved method for permanent results, but those results are not equal for all, and in some cases the Tria nor any laser hair removal system will work.

The basic premise of laser hair removal is that the laser reacts with the melanin in skin to work its way to the root of hair follicles which it then burns out so the hair will not grow back. The theory is simple and it works well for most people. Before we go any further let’s discuss who it will work the best for and who it is not suited for. People that have very fair skin and dark hair are the best candidates to achieve successful results. People with light hair -natural blonds specifically, and people with dark skin are the worst candidates. The laser simply has too much trouble identifying the are to be affected or in the cases of those with dark skin the laser may cause burns to the skin rather than the follicle root.

The Tria laser hair remover has one thing going for it aside from FDA approval which is of extreme importance and that is safety. Before the unit will emit a beam you have to remove the base of the unit and hold it against your skin until you get the green light. It takes about a second. You then hold it up to the main body of the unit that contains the laser so the green light triggers the red light on the unit to go green. You put the charger back in its place and you are ready to go.

The Tria has three settings – low, medium, and high. Low is the least effective but also the least painful. Medium works pretty well for most people, but of course the high setting is really the best. While I anticipated pain akin to what I’ve experienced from commercial laser hair removal units, the pain associated to the Tria on the high setting wasn’t too bad, no worse than a rubber band being snapped against your skin. Some may tolerate pain a little worse than others, but the Tria isn’t so much pain as mild discomfort you adjust to rather quickly.

The Tria is easy to work with and it only took about 40 minutes to completely finish one leg – I have a particularly long leg so for others it may go quicker. There were no hitches in the the Tria’s use nor were there any moments it seemed as if
