Laser treatment better works on the light skin with coarse hair not fine. Laser hair removal can be mildly uncomfortable because every follicle is surrounded by nerve ending, that’s why when the follicles are damaged they can be a bit painful. To overcome this, doctors apply anesthetic cream for 30 to 40 minutes before the procedure that provides adequate relief from the discomfort that occurs during the procedure.

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.

Laser hair removal is the method of permanently removing or reducing hair using a process called “Selective Photothermolysis”. Selective Photothermolysis refers to the process of killing a certain selected structure (in this case the hair follicle) using heat that is generated by a beam of light. It is selective, because the light is only absorbed by certain structures, in this case the hair stub that is located in the bulb of the hair follicle. In electrolysis, the hair follicle is destroyed by an electric current that is inserted into the follicle through a small needle.

Because laser hair removal works by creating heat through the absorption of a light beam, whether it works or not depends on how effectively that light is absorbed by the hair in the follicle. The substance that absorbs this light energy is melanin, which is the brown pigment found in hair as well as skin. The best results are obtained when the hair is dark and thick, and surrounded by white skin. Waxing, tweezing or plucking, or using depilatories removes the hair from the follicle and this will make laser hair removal completely ineffective. Laser hair removal is also completely ineffective on blond, gray, or white hair and sometimes with lighter red hair as well. Small, finer hairs are difficult to remove with laser, but good results can often be obtained with shorter pulse-widths and higher fluence levels.

In order for laser hair removal to be effective, it is also extremely important to stay on schedule with the treatments. Since the laser only affects hair that are in the active part of the anagen stage of hair growth, the practitioner will schedule your sessions according to this hair growth cycle. If you miss an appointment, you need to reschedule it within a week of when it originally was scheduled or you will probably have to start all your laser treatments over again, and you will be unhappy with the results.

For darker skinned people, such as Hispanic, middle-eastern, Asian, or black people, a long-pulsed or variable pulsed Nd:Yag laser will get better results, be less painful, and safer. This laser has the ability to distinguish between the melanin in the hair and the melanin in the skin, which results in more laser energy being delivered to the hair rather than being dissipated through the surrounding skin tissue.

Laser hair removal technology has been around for well over ten years now, and has proven itself to be a very effective method of removing or reducing unwanted hair permanently.
