Find out why you truly need to undergo multiple Laser Hair Removal sessions (I)
by Jim McDonald

Laser Hair Removal is now one of the most common ways to get rid of unwanted hair, and done right, can definitely provide permanent hair removal. But the capability of Laser Hair Removal is reliant upon numerous points, encompassing

(i) the variety of laser being used,
(ii) the color of your hair,
(iii) the color / type of your skin and (iv) the stage of the hair in the hair growth cycle.

There are 5 different types of lasers that are currently used to remove hair. The best laser type for you will depend on the combination of you hair color and skin type. And even if you get it all correct, you still may not end up with permanent hair removal in the short term. You see, the answer lies in the hair growth cycle, and more specifically, what phase of the cycle your problem hair is in.... sounds confusing - it is !

Before we come to know the hair growth cycle, it is critical to comprehend just how Laser Hair Removal really works. That is, to appreciate precisely how you can accomplish permanent hair removal, getting knowledge of the laser process is critical.

Laser Hair Removal does not instantly remove the hair, nor does it burn it off right away. The energy from the laser literally travels through the skin, and is drawn in by the pigment in the hair follicle and shaft. When this energy is absorbed into a hair, the follicles are damaged, which then impairs that particular hairs ability to grow. Eventually the hair will fall out, usually within a matter of weeks.

Getting knowledge of how the laser operates is essential. You need to always remember that the laser does not just make the hair fall out instantly. It actually impairs the capability of a hair to grow, causing it to eventually fall out. Now that we have a brief understanding of how the laser operates, it is time to get an insight into how the hair growth cycle relates to the permanency of laser hair removal.

Laser Hair Removal by Eva Axon

As its name suggests, laser hair removal is a process where a laser is used on the area to be treated. Laser hair removal destroys the hair follicle, and hence the ability for hair growth by photothermolysis, ie. heat. The laser light is absorbed by melanin, which heats rapidly as it absorbs the laser energy, if enough heat is generated then the hair cannot re grow. This reliance on absorbtion of laser energy by melanin causes a few problems.

Firstly, melanin is present in the skin, so dark skinned people, whether genetic, or by the result of tanning, will need more treatments, each of which is less effect. In some cases they may not be eligible for treatment at all.

A second problem is hair colour. The lighter the hair colour, the less melanin each hair contains. This means that laser treatment is not very effective on the lighter coloured hairs such as red, blond, grey, and doesn't work at all on white hairs. These two factors combined, show that the best subjects for laser hair removal are dark haired, and light skinned people. This is how the process works. The light from the laser passes through the skin, but cannot penetrate indefinitely. This means that the closer to the surface the hair follicle is the better the process works.

Any melanin the laser light encounters absorbs the laser creating heat. As the concentration of melanin is greater in the hair follicle, than the skin, the hair follicle heats up more rapidly. Also, the structure of the skin and the hair follicle being different, the skin cools more rapidly. This feature is exploited more in the newer lasers, as they en corporate a pulse beam. Instead of just one pulse being delivered, the laser is turned on and of many times in a very short space of time. This causes even more heat build up in the melanin of the hair follicle, but lets the skin remain relatively cool. Secondary sources of cooling, such as a jet of cold air, are also used to keep the skin cooler.

As the treatment only works on hairs in the anagen phase of the hair growth cycle, several treatments are necessary. My own experiences with laser hair removal are very recent. I finished a course of 6 treatments only last week, so I can't tell what the long term results are yet. The first treatment is the worst, as there are more hairs to absorb the heat, and it can be very painful. With subsequent treatments the levels of pain experienced drop.

After treatment, some hairs fall out immediately. These are hairs in the telogen phase of the hair growth cycle. The treatment has caused them to die and fall straight out, but the follicle itself, not being attached to the hair, has not been damaged, and so these will grow back. It takes two weeks or so, for the hairs that have been affected to fall away and the affects of the treatment to be really known. The area treated also needs to be looked after properly between treatments. The application of aloe vera gel to keep it moisturised, and as much as possible, kept out of the sun. If the area has to be exposed to sunlight, then a sun block of 30+ has to be applied.

This is for two reasons, the most important is that the sun can cause pigmentation problems with the treated area, so that the skin looses all colour. This will prevent further treatments until the skin has recovered. In some cases the skin never recovers, and the colour loss is permanent.

A second reason is to prevent the treated area from getting a tan. A tan would cause the next treatment to be less effective, and if the laser operator is not informed of the tan, they would use the previous settings for the next treatment, possibly causing damage to the skin. Immediately after the treatment it is advisable to apply an ice pack to cool the skin further. I was not advised to do this, and after one treatment, my top lip swelled to three times its normal size, and I developed a big scab. This delayed treatment while it healed, and has left me with a scar. So be careful when you undergo treatment not to miss out this important step.

A Look at Hair Loss Remedies
By: Alfred K.Drews

Hair loss causes a great deal of stress and anxiety. In society, one of the factors other people judge us by is our looks, which includes our hair. Hair loss, therefore, can have an enormous impact on self-perception, self-esteem, and social life. Although there is no cure for excessive hair loss caused by male or female pattern hair loss, there are a variety of hair loss remedies available for people suffering from hair loss.

One hair loss remedy is simply to learn to live with it. It is, after all, a common, normal process that many go through much like acne. Talking to a counselor may help you cope with any self-esteem issues you may face as the result of hair loss.

Many people that suffer from hair loss find that one good remedy can be found in hair styling and cosmetic techniques. Hair coloring, waves, and haircuts alone can make a big difference in the way you look and feel, making hair loss much less apparent. Find out more about Hair Loss Remedy

Rogaine, the FDA approved topical treatment for female and male pattern hair loss, is a popular hair loss remedy. Though not always effective in promoting new hair growth, if used regularly, Rogaine can be effective in slowing or even stopping hair loss.

Hair attachments are another option in the search for an effective hair loss remedy. Made out of human hair and synthetic fibers, these attachments give the appearance of a fuller head of hair. They are kept on by being anchored to the existing hair, skin, or grafted on through surgical techniques. Lastly, a hair loss remedy that can be effective but costly is hair transplant or replacement surgery. With improving results and procedures, this surgical procedure takes healthy follicles and distributes them over other areas of the scalp affected by baldness.

Laser Hair Removal Process
By: Erica Bosworth

Laser hair removal is becoming a popular, permanent solution to repeated body waxing, sugaring or Brazilian bikini wax. This procedure removes hair permanently over several sessions with the laser.

Are You a Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?

oFor best results, your hair should be darker than your skin. Fair skinned people with dark hair are the best candidates for this treatment.

oDark skin will absorb too much of the laser’s energy. This can be damaging to the skin and the results will not be good.

oPeople with red or blonde hair may not respond well to treatment. The light color of the hair may not absorb enough energy to deaden the follicle. The results can be unpredictable.

oYou should not have this procedure done if your skin has a suntan. Avoid tanning for at least a month prior to treatment to give your tan time to fade. Don’t tan until after all your sessions with the laser.

Hair Removal Process

Light energy from the laser penetrates the skin and deadens the hair follicles. This process inhibits future growth from the follicle. The process works best if your hair and skin tones make you a good candidate for the procedure. The result is permanent hair removal and an end to painful waxing, shaving or the continual use of hair removal crème.

Several sessions are generally needed. The hair follicles must be in the growth stage to be deadened by the laser’s energy. Since not all hair follicles are ever in the growth stage at one time, more than one session will be needed to treat all follicles. The length and number of sessions needed will depend on the size of the area being treated and your individual response to treatment.

The procedure is generally not very painful. The pain has been described by patients as similar to the sensation of having a rubber band snapped against the skin. The pain is said to be less than that experienced with a Brazilian wax. Most people handle the sensation with no problem at all. If you have a very low pain threshold and are bothered by the sensation, a numbing crème can be applied prior to your session with the laser.

In most states, regulations require this procedure to be done by a licensed physician, who has been trained in the use of lasers. In some states a RN or Physician’s Assistant can operate the laser under the supervision of a physician. This is a medical procedure and you shouldn’t shop around for the best price. Instead, look for the most highly trained and experienced physician in your area. Ask for references and speak to other patients about their experience. This equipment can be damaging in the hands of a poorly trained person.

Cost of Hair Removal

The cost of this procedure is generally charged per session. Most clinics charge a few hundred dollars for each session. The total cost will depend on the number of sessions your skin requires and the area of the body being treated. Larger areas, such as the legs and back are more expensive, as they take more time.

Sessions can last from fifteen minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated. Most people achieve total hair removal in three to five sessions. Although this procedure can be costly, you won’t have to pay for other hair removal procedures in the future. If you add up what you pay every month for other products, you will find that the procedure will pay for itself in a few years. Many find the results well worth the initial cost.

Which Hair Removal Method Do You Prefer by Louise Wasa


The laser performed removal of the hair beneath the skin, was done experimentally for twenty years before it officially entered the market more than ten years ago. For some types of hair removal procedures, your skin type can help to determine the likelihood that the process will work on you specifically. Now there are several affordable hair removal options for men and women but you might have to adjust your expectations when it comes to the length of time the unwanted hair will actually be removed when considering the cheaper options.

You can easily find a laser hair removal practitioner that is willing to offer ear hair removal but when it comes to nose hair removal, you are probably stuck with shorter-term options. The cost for laser hair removal vary a lot and your best bet is to shop around and consider the various options available in your local area. For men, part of the problem might be figuring out what options are available, the cost and time involved, pros and cons of each option and related questions that guys want to know the answer to.

Because of the large area that generally gets treated during chest hair removal, several main options are available for men that could offer medium to long term hair removal with repeated treatments. Waxing can offer short to medium term hair removal while laser and pulsed light treatment might offer longer term hair removal, usually with repeated treatments. Many athletes opt for a longer term solution for hair removal such as laser hair removal or light-based hair removal treatment that could offer several weeks or months of hair removal with repeated treatments.

Your skin type is a very important determining factor for the success or lack of success when it comes to laser and pulsed light hair removal treatment. And before you start tweezing consider whether or not you shall choose laser or light hair removal treatment in the near future. An experienced practitioner can tell you to avoid tweezing and using other hair removal options before any laser or light treatment you schedule.

Before exfoliating after hair removal treatment, you better check with your practitioner to ensure you do not end up irritating your skin. That is important if your skin is already a bit red from the treatment. Nowadays laser hair removal is safe and it is usual that the patient's skin might experience a little redness or pinkness on the targeted hair areas.

Modern laser technology makes it possible to remove unwanted hair from your body parts. A gentle beam of concentrated light on the targeted hair areas passes through your skin to your hair follicles. This technology is now one of the most effective ways of removing hair from the body in a permanent fashion.

Another well established method is electrolysis, which is considered to be a true permanent hair removal option. The cost might be too high for you depending on the amount of hair to be treated and the number of visits you may need to remove all your unwanted hair. The electrolysis for man by killing the root, might seem to be ideal, but it is not so dependable and can be expensive. Laser hair removal is much less expensive than the method of removing hair with electrolysis. Some individuals may only be eligible for electrolysis due to physical and hair characteristics which make laser hair removal very difficult or impossible.

The Science of Laser Hair Removal
by james argus


Laser hair removal techniques are growing in popularity as a means for permanently or semi-permanently reducing unwanted hair on the body or face. This article will investigate the science behind laser hair removal in an attempt to give those considering the treatment some understanding of what they are contemplating.

Lasers function by targeting a chromophore, and in the case of laser hair removal, the chromophore is the melanin pigment found in hair follicles and skin. A hair's germinative apparatus, largely responsible for its growth, is surrounded by melanin. When laser energy is absorbed by the chromaphoric melanin, a rapid rise in temperature results, and when sufficient, irreversible damage is caused to the germinative apparatus, resulting in cessation of that hair's growth.

One barrier to the melanin in a hair absorbing sufficient energy to cause the destruction of the growth apparatus is the presence of melanin in the skin. Since the hair follicle resides sub-epidermally (below the skin),the laser must pass through the skin, losing some of its energy to melanin in the epidermis. The darker the skin, the greater the concentration of melanin within it, and thus, the more energy is absorbed by the epidermal melanin and the more difficult it is to achieve good results, especially where the hair is lighter than, or only slightly darker than, the skin.

Hair removal laser treatment exploits the different cooling properties of the skin and the hair follicle. Since the skin has a far greater surface area to volume ratio and direct exposure to the air, cooling techniques, such as cooling with cryogen, cool air or a cooled crystal, either before, during or after the laser treatment. This increases the efficiency of the laser by allowing more energy from the laser pulse to reach the melanin that surrounds the hair growth apparatus in the hair follicle.

Multi-pulsed lasers work to further exploit this difference in the cooling properties of the skin and the hair follicle. These lasers break energy into a series of pulses seperated my a gap of several milliseconds, allowing the skin to cool. The hair follicle, which is deeper under the surface, does not cool as quickly and is still hot when the next pulse is delivered. This both improves the efficacy of the treatment and prevents the skin from being damaged by the laser energy.

It is recommended that candidates seek out reliable medical advice for more information on the principles of laser hair removal treatment. It is wise to seek clearance from a laser treatment specialist to ensure there are no contraindications prior to the commencement of laser hair treatment.

All the above is for information purposes only. Consult your doctor or a registered practitioner before embarking on any treatment or surgery.

Do You Have So Much Hair You Look Like A Monster? Laser Hair Removal Can Be The Answer! by Ray La Foy


Dealing with unwanted hair is never fun. Self-esteem can take a serious hit thanks to visible unwanted hair and then there's the fact most people with hair where it just doesn't belong also have to deal with embarrassment. Getting rid of unwanted hair, however, can be a tricky task at best. This is where laser hair removal can really help out, but who qualifies for this procedure and who should steer clear?

Laser hair removal is a fairly painless alternative to waxing, plucking and shaving. It's considered much more effective than these other options, too, for getting rid of hair and keeping it off. However, laser removal isn't a guarantee that hair won't grow back and the procedure isn't for everyone. Before deciding to pursue this as an option, it's smart to research the procedure and decide if it's the right method for you.

Ideal candidates for hair removal will demonstrate the following traits:

* Generally, doctors or clinicians that do the procedures in their offices will prefer to work on those who are in fairly good physical shape. The process isn't painful and it's not dangerous, but it can be a little stressful for first-time patients and maybe a slight bit uncomfortable, too.

* Dark hair. People with dark hair are generally good candidates for laser hair removal. Since the laser tends to "see" darker material, those with dark hair have a greater chance of optimum results.

* Lighter skin. Hair must be darker than the skin for it to be effective. This means those with dark natural complexions and even people with tans will find lasers might not be the route for them to take. This isn't to say the procedure won't be effective, but the odds are greater that it won't be. If your skin is very dark or your hair is light, it's a good idea to consider alternatives.

* People with patience. Hair removal doesn't tend to be a one-visit procedure. Someone who is looking for instant results might want to consider waxing or depilatories. Since the process is quite tedious, handling something as large as the leg areas or the back can take several visits. Plus, hair might grow back and require another treatment at some point.

Laser hair removal is a fantastic way to get rid of unwanted hair on the face, back, legs and even in the bikini area. But, not everyone is a great candidate for the procedure. Consider your personal traits before proceeding to choose laser hair removal as the option for you.

If you're sold on the idea of laser hair removal, remember this is considered a medical procedure, so it's a good idea to make sure the practitioner knows what he or she is doing. Ask around about clinicians in your area and check into their background. If you do a little research before jumping into this procedure, you are likely to be happy with the results.

Laser Hair Removal - general information
by Barry Hooper


For those who follow fashion, and there are many who do, body hair removal is not a choice. Today's fashions demand a smooth, hair free body. And it seems that many women (and some men) will go to any lengths to get rid of what society says is "unsightly" body hair.

There are many methods, both old and new, to body hair removal, from shaving and plucking, to electrolysis and the latest trend, laser hair removal. Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.

There are several factors to consider when deciding which is the best method for you. A key factor to you may be cost --- laser hair removal is not cheap, but neither is electrolysis. And how much do you spend weekly (or twice weekly) on having a wax treatment? Laser hair removal does diminish and weaken hair re-growth, meaning you need less treatment.

Another factor you may wish to consider is the pain involved. This is a tricky one, because every individual perceives pain differently, and each person has a different pain threshold. Some people report feeling a mild pinching during treatment, others say it feels like being zapped with an elastic band. Others experience no pain or discomfort at all.

Another concern may be time. Shaving every couple of days can eat into your time and is messy, not to mention painful if you slip with the razor. Re-growth from shaving is quick, and the stubble tends to be sharp and prickly. Electrolysis is painful as well as expensive and exceptionally time consuming, since each individual hair is targeted. Re-growth is often mentioned as a problem in connection with electrolysis.

Another consideration is whether you are considered a good candidate for laser hair removal. Despite the hype and misinformation on the internet, it is not a miracle cure for all. Most types of cosmetic laser machines target melanin. This is the pigment or color in your skin and hair. Therefore those people whose skin is dark, i.e. those with more melanin in their skin, may find they experience skin discoloration after undergoing this type of laser treatment.

The ideal candidate for this non-invasive treatment is therefore someone with pale skin and dark hair. Typically the Irish combination of fair almost white skin, with dark brown or black hair and blue eyes is considered the most suitable type. The laser beam can clearly distinguish the dark hair (containing melanin) from the light skin.

But do not lose heart if laser hair removal is your last hope of keeping your skin smooth and silky. There are techniques which a skilled technician can apply to help maximize the efficiency of the treatment, and minimize the risks. Check out the links on this website to find a local skilled and qualified technician in your area.
