Laser Hair Removal Is A Lasting Answer
Thomas Tooma
Are you embarrassed by unwanted hair? Some people could care less if their leg hair was long enough to style, others go into hiding if they forget to pluck the stray hair growing from their chin. If you want to get rid of unwantedbody or facial hair, there are a few choices, some of which are more or less permanent. Probably the best is laser hair removal. Laser hair removal has grown in favor since it came out in the 1990's, and many swear it delivers the longest lasting hair removal. As with any optional procedure, however, you should weigh all of your options before undergoing laser hair removal.
Alternatives to laser hair removal are shaving (repetitive but effective and economical in the short run), electrolysis, or using an epilator. Electrolysis is the moreuncomfortable of the latter two, and can cause damage to delicate skin. It is also a slow procedure which works better for limited areas like the upper lip or the eyebrows. Eventually, with electrolysis, the hair returns. An epilator causes less discomfort and has the advantage of being portable. Women often use an epilator on more sensitive skin.
Laser hair removal is a more permanent answer than any of the above. In laser hair removal, the hair follicle takes in more and more laser light energy, eventually killing the follicle and removing the hair. Laser hair removal is more efficient than electrolysis in taking the hair off large areas of the body, such as a man's back. It is perfect for small jobs as well.
There are a couple of considerations with laser hair removal. First, it works more effectively on people whose hair shade is darker than their skin color. Also, recent attempts at hair removal or a few sessions in the tanning bed can compromise the successfulness of laser hair removal. There are few sides effects to consider, however, but they last only a brief period of time. Some blistering and discoloration of the site can be expected as well as dark bumps as the follicles die. Again, all fade quickly. Finally, some hair may eventually regrow, but it is often thinner and lighter.
Laser hair removal can be an excellent choice for busy people who are perpetually bothered by hair in inconvenient places. It is usually a very affordable solution.
