Hair Removal Laser Equipment
by Tim Croy


People tend to fear what they do not understand, and there is perhaps no more misunderstood technological advancement in the past couple of decades than lasers. When we think of lasers, our imaginations go wild with all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy visions. Lasers cutting people open, a la James Bond in Goldfinger. Lasers used as futuristic weaponry like lightsabers and blaster pistols in Star Wars. Lasers even make us think of new weaponry projects like the missile defense system currently being constructed.


For some reason, lasers have a certain bond with death and destruction - a problematic assumption that laser hair removal equipment manufacturers and specialists have to deal with day after day.


However, not all lasers are bad. Take laser pointers, for example. These are low wattage, completely harmless beams of light that are emitted from a device powered by a lowly battery. Those lasers certainly aren't capable of slicing people in half or shooting down missiles. And so is the case with laser hair removal equipment. Such devices are completely harmless and are designed for one purpose and one purpose only - to remove unsightly or bothersome hair anywhere on your body.


Instead of simply telling you that the laser hair removal equipment that will be used during a laser hair removal procedure is completely harmless, let's present some facts about hair removal with the use of lasers instead. The laser, almost always based on a ruby or another mineral known as alexandrite, shoots a beam of light that is not powerful enough to damage your skin but is perfect for destroying the hair follicle and the hair bulb - preventing hair growth in areas hit by the laser. This laser, through excellent targeting and low power consumption, simply cannot damage a person's skin - no matter how long it shines on the same spot.


Now compare the laser hair removal equipment used by laser hair removal specialists to other kinds of hair removal techniques. Previously, one of the most effective ways to remove hair was by using a sort of hair removal cream. You've probably seen these products advertised on television as "completely harmless." But why would you want to rub a cream on you, made of unknown and unpronounceable chemicals, that makes your hair fall out and not return for months on end. It could be anything in those products - even chemicals that are dangerous or deadly when used for prolonged periods of time.


Compared to the harmless laser hair removal equipment that modern hair removal specialists are now using, the choice seems clear. Why would you risk your life using a hair removal cream when you could simply visit a laser hair removal specialist and receive a treatment that is totally harmless and uses only the newest, most high tech equipment available. There is simply no reason to fear the new laser hair removal equipment when what you should have been fearing all along was the pain of waxing and plucking, the harsh chemicals used in various hair removal creams, and the cost of purchasing drugstore hair removal product after drugstore hair removal product because none of them worked as well as advertised.

Online Laser Hair Removal Systems by Tim Croy


The laser hair removal system is a brand new technology that has been pioneered by scientists, doctors, and other health professionals across the United States and around the world. This brand new way of removing unwanted hair is an incredible leap forward from painful and archaic procedures like plucking, waxing, and using various hair removal creams. While these techniques are fine for one or two hairs, they are completely ineffective for larger patches or stubborn hairs that simply will not go away. Interested?

If you want to learn how laser hair removal works, you've come to the right place.

When it comes to getting rid of hairs that you would rather not have in places you really don't want them, there have been quite a few techniques developed throughout the decades. Some of them are effective for one or two hairs while others claim to remove many hairs at a time - but they all have major drawbacks. Most of these techniques, such as waxing, are highly painful. Others, like creams and shaving, only remove the hairs for a short period of time. It almost seemed like there was no real solution to hair problems until the laser hair removal system was perfected.

At it's essence, the laser hair removal procedure uses a highly focused beam of light to eradicate the hair follicle and remove the hair at it's root. Because the follicle and root are the two major culprits for returning hair growth, it is of the utmost importance that a hair removal treatment attack the hair at its source. Waxing and creams do this some of the time. The laser hair removal system does this each and every time - making it the most effective hair removal treatment in the world.

The laser hair removal procedure was developed by teams from around the globe, but there are a few locations in the United States that have become extremely well known for high quality laser hair removal treatments and professional service. A few of these cities include Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York - so you're in luck if you live near any of those major metropolitan areas. Great doctors abound, so feel free to take your pick.

However, despite the multitude of doctors and other professionals in cities like Chicago, the price of the laser hair removal procedure can be high. Often ranging from three hundred to five hundred dollars. But if you want to get a good deal, be sure to be on the lookout for specials and other discounts that some of the big name laser hair removal centers offer throughout the year. You can usually save at least a hundred dollars by being a savvy consumer.

So what are you waiting for? Now is the best time it has ever been for those of you looking to remove bothersome hair from anywhere on your body. The laser hair removal system is quick, painless, and highly effective - and well worth your hard earned money. If you have hairs that you want removed, and you live in a hair removal epicenter like Chicago, Los Angeles, or New York, you should take this time to schedule a free consultation with a local laser hair removal professional.

California Hair Removal: Diversity in Beauty
by Judy Wellsworth


It's true, there are climate changes that generally have brought heat and ruthless sun: this means that people need to get better care of their bodies and look cleaner and smoother as the clothes drop one by one, especially on the beaches: California hair removal helps you get your unaesthetic follicles of hair removed from visible places that bother the eye, and the diversity of offers and packages is just outstanding, since you can either choose permanent or temporary processes that require some research on your behalf.

California Hair Removal Clinics: Day to day Menu

As the industry of beauty salons and spas has started to grow, and people wish to always look their best, general data about the tools, processes and services is quite known, by means of TV shows, magazines or advertisement. California hair removal is not about simply removing your undesired follicles, but also about making your skin looking healthy with the vast array of services they offer, from the elimination of follicles one by one, using plucking with tools such as tweezers, waxes or specific shaving machines, to the more modern operations with laser. The first methods are well-known since women have made from waxing or shaving a distinct part of their regular grooming and you can find each of them at California hair removal. Women also know they do not last for long, though a recurring process may lead to permanency. Another commonly used method is the elimination of the follicles by plucking with tweezers, which is quite smarting. Also, you can "wax" the unwanted hair off either by heating the composition and applying it where is necessary, cleaning and smoothing hence vast areas, or by using sugar wax. This latter method is based on chemistry quite a lot, the large quantity of sugar dissolving rapidly in water.

Ahead of Times With California Hair Removal Clinics

As the traditional methods are used everywhere, from the personal bathtubs to the luxurious spas and salons, California hair removal is prepared in every way to offer you more modern and ahead-of-their-time treatments. The industry of hair removal takes pride in California in the using of electrolysis, that implies little minute needles inserted where the hair follicles grow, with the discharge of a mild electric shock that causes the removal and the damage of the root. All this means you are free of worries afterwards since permanency is aimed. Electrolysis processes are naturally carried through by the trained personnel and experienced technicians, but it doesn't hurt to make sure that the California hair removal spa or salon you have chosen is endowed with specialists.

Another very modern technology is the laser one, which represents the definite step forward in the industry of hair removal, the effects being total and everlasting. California hair removal clinics have laser machines and along with them, highly trained and skilled staff to make you look beautiful. Their official approval and the methods they use when handling the laser equipment has to be inquired into, so that you know exactly why they are using this or that, what type of laser machine is good for your skin tone and how experienced the assistant is. Lasers work generally by sending light waves in the places the unsightly hair grows and damages the root, in several sessions.

Checking and reading about hair removal processes represent a guarantee that you will be satisfied in the end, knowing all the details and being capable of analyzing: you do pay after all a lot of money, so you should make it worth. Consequently, California hair removal clinics, salons and spas will not disappoint your need for perfection, and your need to have diversity in the process of getting beautiful.

Seven things about Laser Hair Removal
by Dr. Phil Hariram

FDA approved since 1995, Laser Hair Removal has improved the quality of life of thousands, especially female with male pattern hair growth. Removal of unwanted hair by laser is a major advance over treatment such as electrolysis. It has brought hope to several individuals with hair growth in areas where they cause embarrassment. There are certain things you should know about this form of treatment. Some are listed below.

1. What is Laser Hair Removal? It is a laser beam targeted at the hair follicle. The high intensity ray of light gives off heat energy. The laser tracts along the hair shaft, heating it and leading to thermal damage to the follicle while leaving the surrounding tissue unharmed. The effectiveness of this treatment depends on the concentration of melanin in the hair. It is more effective in dark hair, less effective in brown or ginger hair and will not work on white, grey or platinum blonde hair. As the laser travels along the hair shaft, there must be hair present. It is, therefore, not recommended to pluck unwanted hair before treatment. Similarly since laser hair removal works on the melanin level, dark skin or tanned skin need alternative treatment.

2. Cost depends on the size of the area that needs treatment. The larger the area, the greater the cost. In the USA, the average cost per session is $450 and in the UK, the cost may vary from £45 to £450. Treatment may be for several sessions in a year because hair will re-grow. The re-growth, however, will be slower and the hair thinner. Mr. David Gault, Plastic Surgeon, reported 80% reduction of upper lip hair growth after 6 months.

3. What you should find out: Make sure you know as much as you can about Laser Hair Removal. Choose a clinic that offers free consultation so that you can assess suitability and what is on offer. Find out before hand how much it will cost you. Make sure you know whether a medical practitioner will be on the premises during your treatment. Check that your assigned therapist is suitably qualified and experienced.

4. How safe: Laser is a pure high beam light. It does not cause cancer. It only penetrates up to the dermis of the skin. It is dangerous to the eyesight. You will probably use goggles to protect your eyes during treatment. The skin can be darkened by laser because of the melanin concentration. Too much exposure can leave the skin with paler patches that slowly fades away. Over heating can cause blistering and rarely scarring especially in darker skin and people with recent tans. The paler you are before treatment the safer and better the treatment.
You should not have laser hair removal if you are sensitive to light or have any infection on the area to be treated. You should not have treatment if you had isotretinoin as acne treatment in the last year.

5. Is Hair removal permanent? Laser hair removal and electrolysis are considered the only permanent hair removal treatment. Although laser hair treatment is promoted as permanent by the industry, this is not strictly the case. It cannot stop the unwanted hair from re-growing. It will, however, slow the re-growth so that it can take several months or years. The re-growth will consist of thinner hair.

6. What happens during treatment? Depending on the types of laser beam system and the area to be treated, you may be required to wear goggles. Laser hair removal treatment can cause stinging or the area may tingle. The time taken for a session depends on the size of the area and can last between 15 and 45 minutes. The area concerned will be treated roughly once a month for between two and eight months. Not all lasers are the same and results may vary with different systems. Before you embark on Laser hair removal, make sure you do your homework.

7. What types of Laser Hair Removal are available? There are various types available. The Ruby Laser is the oldest. It is not suitable for dark skinned or tanned people and only covers a small area. The Alexandrite Laser is the fastest laser available. It is used on light to olive complexion. It is the most popular type because it can cover large areas of the body. The Diode Laser works better for dark skin and is not as effective in lighter skin. It is fast and covers large areas during treatment. The Long Pulse Nd:Yag Laser can be used on all skin types. It is fast and covers large areas. Patients, however, tend to experience more discomfort during treatment. Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is not really Laser but will have the same effect as laser on the hair follicles. It is more difficult to use and needs greater skill.

Body Hair Removal: Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow
by Judy Wellsworth


Very few people know exactly how profitable the industry of body hair removal is, but this becomes rather obvious when you think of the people that need to have their body hair removed, the special places that need to be set up such as spas or salons, the specific machines that are improving constantly, the people that operate them that have a special training and so on. All these have grown around the whirlpool of this pot of gold that is body hair removal. You can get it done professionally, or with products from drugstores and markets. You can be a woman, or man: men do have a tendency to frequent body hair removal salons to have a cleaner and smoother appearance nowadays.

Dreams and Reality

Some hate it, and laugh distrustfully when hearing of body hair removal, but some men take pride in being more careful with their looks, the thought of having hair on their arms, legs, chest or back disgusting them. Magazine covers of spotless actresses, the beauty and slenderness piled up on the TV screen, the general advertisement of the idea of being young have a powerful effect on people, and it seems that women are not the only one affected. If a man, some tens of ages ago, had abundant hair in visible places, or if he didn't have hair at all- on his head especially- he didn't worry much, because this was how nature built him. Today, men wish to take action and look their best using the ever increasing array of services in body hair removal.

Tools Of Body Hair Removal by Request

It is impossible to look like that or this movie star without special grooming at exclusive spas and high profile salons, where professionals are there just to make the process of body hair removal easier and neater. Women understand that, and they are willing to pay huge sums to some beauticians that satisfy their every request and caprice in matter of machines, types of creams, or waxes, razors or lasers and so on. However, you can be sure of finding very experienced doctors available for you that charge reasonable fees, so have no worries.

The permanency of the body hair removal process is another aspect: as much as we all want to get it done in one shot, most treatments are not everlasting and it doesn't take long before those unwanted follicles of hair start to show up again. That is why recurrent visits are needed, and the more times you go to the salon or spa, the more money you spend. There are always the permanent treatments that have the unaesthetic hair on the legs, arms, armpits, and face or bikini line removed with the help of new laser technology. In this latter case, a number of visits are required too, in order to let the technician work with the equipment properly and give you complete satisfaction, in exchange for the probably bitter price you will have paid. Maybe you will have a doubt or two when spending so much money on body hair removal but on the long term, you will not regret it.
