Reduce Excessive Hair Growth With Laser Hair Removal

0

Hair removal with laser treatments is done with a laser beam that emits light energy to reduce excessive hair growth and with the aim of eventually eliminating it completely. The laser's single-spectrum light produces heat in the melanin pigment in the hair shaft. Melanin is the substance that gives your hair and skin their color. The heat travels through the melanin to the hair follicle, a tiny sac inside the skin that grows hair. As the follicle inflames from the laser, it goes dormant and stops hair growth. Laser hair removal can last months or it can last years, as long as a series of treatments are performed.

Lasers are considered medical devices and should only be operated by a doctor or a nurse with special training. Lasers produce a single-color beam of focused light energy that can be trained on a precise target, such as a single hair. The lasers used for hair removal are hand-held devices. There are also laser-like devices used in hair removal, such as intense pulsed light (IPL) systems. These instruments use light from more than one color along the color spectrum and direct it at their target in brief bursts. The choice of whether to use laser or IPL therapy for hair removal is best made by the treating physician.

Little Known Method of Successfully Getting Rid of Unwanted Facial Hair

0

Women don't want all that hair in places other than on their
head! With either heredity or age, the ladies are bound to get a
moustache on their upper lip and it's never ever welcomed. First
there was shaving, and then came the plethora of creams, lotions
and potions to remove hair, then there was waxing, and even
electrolysis. Now gals, there's yet another method you may
choose to rid that unwanted stache on your upper lip. It's
called Threading.

Threading is done at salons or can also be done at home. The
process removes the fine and fuzzy hair right from the root. If
it sounds painful, consider the options. If you shave your lip,
it'll come back stubbly, eventually like a man. What wants that?
If you use a cream, you're subjecting yourself to chemical
reactions and it doesn't rid the hair at the root, so it'll
likely just grow back faster and thicker. If you've ever had
your lip waxed, ripping that sucker off hurts too. Not to
mention the bright red upper lip for hours and the small beady
blisters for a week. Ick. Ever try plucking your hairs out?
Ouch is right! You could bleach that hair, but then you'll just
have a lighter colored moustache. Every method has its drawbacks.

This is the reason why more and more people are visiting the beauty salons to get rid of their body hair. Many new and effective techniques have been introduced which allow you to remove hair permanently wherein the temporary methods are also available.

The most tried and effective method of body hair removal is waxing. This method is being used since ages and this is quite easy to be done at home. They pour the hot wax on the body parts where you feel you have a lot of unwanted hair and then the hair is ripped off with the help of a piece of cloth and the hair is removed from the roots.

Hair Removal – Permanent Or Temporary

Just about every body, at one time or another, needs to remove hair and many times the thought of permanent hair removal comes to mind. There are many choices for hair removal and the choice should be based on a few factors.

What methods are available?

What are the permanent hair removal methods?

From what body area do you want to remove it?

Short Term Hair Removal Methods-

  • Shaving - Both wet razor and electric shavers. Used mainly by men for their chins. Many women also shave their legs. Though the hair appears to grow thicker this is not so. What happens is that the hair is cut at skin level at an angle. The regrown hair is therefore harder to the touch.
  • Waxing - This is the application of a hot wax(an alternative wax method uses cold wax), over the desired area. Once it hardens it is ripped out against the growth. Mainly used for leg hair removal, although you can use it on other areas. Over time the hair weakens and this means that regrowth is slower.
  • Plucking - Perhaps the oldest hair removal method and the chances are that everybody has plucked some hair at one time or another. As a formal hair removal method it is usually used for eyebrow plucking or the removal of stray hairs. Sugaring and threading are also part of the plucking family.
  • Depilatories - Chemical creams or gels that cause a reaction to the hairs, breaking them down so that they can be wiped off with a towel or tissue. Depilatories are used mainly by women. If you begin using a depilatory it is always best to try it out over a small area in case of skin reactions (after all it is a chemical compound and different people have different reactions).

Body Hair Removal For Men

0

It used to be that only women cared about removing hair from their face and bodies because it was thought to be unfeminine. However, more men are now removing body hair as well. Being involved in sports probably dictated this trend as athletes wanted to remove hair in order to be more aerodynamic in timed events. The look grew popular and it moved into the fashion arena as how men are supposed to look. Metrosexuals, men who care about their appearance and fashion, all have shaved chests or sculpted chests. The term manscaping accurately describes the care in grooming chest and body hair.

It should also be said that if women did not enjoy this look, then men would not do this form of body grooming. In previous decades, manly men with hair on their chests graced picture spreads of magazines. The name Burt Reynolds comes to mind with his nearly nude centerfold appearance in the Cosmopolitan magazine which has a subscription base of predominantly women. Now, a more body streamlined and sophisticated look can be seen on covers with David Beckham as the ultimate hairless metrosexual.

Top Hair Removal Methods

Presenting ourselves as nature planned us and not as we cared to look is becoming less of a problem these days. From cosmetic surgery to the simple act of removing excess amounts of hair on our bodies, the options have become less expensive, less painful and very simple to carry out.

Some people might find hair on the body attractive, but most don't. And there is no doubt that someone who feels uncomfortable about body hair should never need to go through the embarrassment and discomfort of being a center of attraction because of it. Even if the problem is in their minds only.

There are many methods available to remove excess hair. Some are for the short haul and some take longer, cost more but bring more effective results in the long term. The more popular methods include waxing and plucking. The use of tweezers which is tortuous and time consuming is popular but not too effective as the hairs plucked seem to grow in again in next to no time. Hair removal creams and lotions are certainly more pleasant to work with, but again they create only a temporary solution to what is a long term problem.

Permanent Hair Removal Cream – Types of Hair Removal Products

0

Maybe your sick of waxing, and tweezing and have decided to look for a permanent hair removal cream. Unfortunately such a thing still does not exist. Although many creams can retard the hair growth and keep it from coming back for weeks.

Advantages
Body creams possess a number of advantages over many of the other solutions currently available. Unlike electrolysis, it is painless and substantially cheaper, with no down time. Unlike lasers they can be used on any skin or hair type and there's no chance of hyper pigmentation or infection. Also it can be done at home without the need of a professional.

Trade Offs
However as with anything there is a trade off as the effects of the cream are not permanent. Although they can reduce the amount of hair that your body produces over the course of time. The way depilatories work is by breaking down the keratin in the hair, which weakens it and allows it to be scraped off. The results are that you will remain relatively hairless for several days. Be sure to follow the instructions carefully because if left on too long the chemicals can cause skin irritation and a rash may develop. Some creams are only meant for the body and not for sensitive areas like the face.

Hair Removal Methods That Have Come and Gone – Electronic Tweezers

1

Shortly after I became an Electrologist, a new method of permanent hair removal called "Depilatron" appeared on the market and attempted to make electrolysis a thing of the past. Depilatron consisted of a machine with an electronic tweezer attached to it. Its inventors claimed that grasping the hair with the tweezer would send a current through the hair, down into the hair follicle, thereby killing the root of the hair and removing the hair permanently. Sounds promising, doesn't it?

Many people desperate to get rid of their unwanted hair believed the ads that promised permanent hair removal. Unfortunately, the inventors of Depilatron did not test their theory before releasing it to the public. The truth is: hair cannot conduct electric current, so Depilatron could not possible be a method of permanent hair removal! In a matter of months, it became clear that this new hair removal treatment was a scam. People who paid for Depilatron treatments threw a ton of money in the garbage and ended up being extremely disappointed.

How Does Electrolysis Work?

0

To understand how electrolysis works, it is important to know what it is that electrolysis does. Electrolysis isn't a surface removal technique like shaving. How electrolysis procedure does its work is by destroying the roots of unwanted hairs with an electric current. The end result is that the unwanted hairs don't grow back.

There are a number of different methods for electrolysis for permanent hair removal, and each one functions in a different manner. The best way to understand how electrolysis does its work is to become aware of how the different types of electrolysis work. Three of the most common types of electrolysis are the Galvanic, thermolysis, and blend methods.

How Does Galvanic Electrolysis Work?

Galvanic electrolysis involves sending a DC current of electricity directly to the root of an unwanted hair via a needle that is inserted into the follicle of the affected hair. As the DC current travels through the follicle, a chemical reaction occurs. This chemical reaction produces sodium hydroxide, which destroys the hair follicle itself.
