Laser Hair Removal – Towards Freedom from Unwanted Hair

Posted by on Aug 1, 2012 in Beauty |

Unwanted hair is a real mess. Even if it removed, it grows again. While getting ready for any occasion, you first have to look for the hair growth and remove it. This becomes a priority keeping makeup, costumes and accessories on sidetrack. Therefore today laser hair removal has become the catchphrase to remove hair permanently. I have found a new website www.at-home-laser-hair-removal.org which gives excellent information about laser hair removal at home. If you are really keen about the method, you should go through this site.

In the procedure of laser, a light is emitted with a particular wavelength, which destroys the hair follicles. This method needs multiple sittings and is done at a dermatologist or a beauty treatment clinic or a spa. But nowadays there are devices available on the market which let you do this at home too. This method is more beneficial than the traditional razor-shaving and waxing, because it offers hair removal permanently, that too up to 90%. There is no fear of growing hair again. So, you don’t have to check again and again while preparing for an event. Secondly, the pain level is much less than that in the traditional methods.

You can take care of certain things, to optimize the benefit of your laser hair removal:

  • If you shave before the session, the hair becomes short and so, the energy of the laser ray goes more to the follicle, instead of getting dispersed throughout the hair. So also, prior shaving increases your comfort level during the treatment.
  • However don’t wax hair and don’t even pluck it. The hair should be in the follicle before the treatment.
  • Don’t tan the skin during the course of treatment. Tanning too can affect the energy of laser negatively.
  • You will have keep in mind that you cannot get the same results with all lasers. Some low powered ones cannot do the job very perfectly.

Wavelengths

The wavelength of the laser required for a particular patient to remove her or his hair permanently and in the best way depends on the patient’s skin tone. For lighter skin patients, the best wavelength is 755 nm, while for darker skin patients, it is 1064 nm.

You can discuss with a dermatologist about how much the treatment will benefit you and then you can do it more effectively.
