What to Expect from Laser Hair Removal Treatment

by Fiona Marshall
Once the decision has been made to go forward with a cosmetic treatment, there can be some anxiety as the appointment draws near. To help alleviate those fears, it is a good idea to learn what happens during the treatment. In many cases, a simple knowledge of what is to come will relieve anxiety so the treatment session is as pleasant and painless as possible.
Laser hair removal is usually done in a series of sessions that take place in four to eight week intervals. There may be three to five appointments scheduled, depending on the area that will be treated and how effective the treatments are. The first appointment consists of a consultation with the doctor who will be performing the procedure. At this meeting, the patient will learn exactly what to expect from the treatment and have the opportunity to ask questions about the laser hair removal process.

At the next appointment, the area that will be treated may be shaved and an anesthetic cream is applied to alleviate any possible discomfort. In many cases, a cooling device is attached to the laser to increase comfort level for the patient. After the procedure, the treated area may be slightly red and swollen. This will go away fairly quickly with gentle cleansing, but a topical ointment can also be provided to ease the discomfort.

Laser hair removal can successfully remove unwanted hair on a semi-permanent basis. By knowing what to expect from the procedure, a patient can face the treatment sessions without anxiety or fear.

Hair removal methods and their benefits
by Kelly


Most of the women want to get rid of unwanted hair growth in legs, arms, underarms, bikini line or the face. There are number of methods that can help remove unwanted hair temporarily or permanently.
Shaving is the most common method where a sharpened metal blade is used to cut off the hair. This method is more beneficial to remove hair in underarms, arms and legs. It is the cheapest technique adopted for removal of hair and has no side effects. It can be done easily at home. Though it is a temporary method, many women consider it as best since it does not cause any pain.

Cream depilatories are gaining more popularity nowadays. The chemical called thioglycolate in the cream dissolves unwanted hair at the skin’s surface. It is more effective on disrupting the disulfide bonds that hold the hair and skin cells together. It is usually painless and removes hair fast.

Physical hair removal methods are inexpensive and effective. These methods do not change the color and texture of the hair. They also delay regrowth of hair. There are three basic types of physical techniques- plucking, waxing and sugar waxing. Plucking the hair with tweezers is an easy way to remove unwanted hair in legs, arms and underarms. It is more useful for removing hair in eyebrows. Waxing is the most efficient way to remove large amount of hair at one time. Here, wax is warmed and applied in the skin in the direction of hair growth. Then, it is allowed to cool. The wax is pulled off in the opposite direction of hair growth. Sugar waxing is a popular method that requires thick sugary substance to remove hair. The main benefit of this method is it is easy to clean up the residues.

Electrolysis is a permanent hair removal method where a fine needle is inserted into the hair follicle and electric current is applied through it. This method burns the hair root and therefore restricts the growth of hair in that area. Repeated treatment can destroy the hair follicle. There are two types of electrolysis treatment- galvanic electrolysis and thermolysis. Sometimes, a combination of these two methods is also used to treat unwanted hair growth. Though this method may cause some pain, it provides permanent remedy for excessive hair in bikini areas, legs, arms and underarms.

Laser treatment is an advanced hair removal method. This method is gentle, effective and offer long term results. Lasers are used to burn the hair structure. This method works best for light-skinned people with dark hair. The main advantage of this method is that there are no adverse effects. Again, the treatment can be given in delicate areas like back, cheeks, upper lip, back, thighs, shoulders and so on. This method also offers long lasting results.

Eflornithine is a topical cream approved by FDA and it helps reducing the hair growth especially in face. It is not a hair removing cream or depilatory, but it decreases the metabolic activity of hair follicles. It should be used only on the face and under chin area. Since it does not remove hair, it should be used along with other methods for removal of hair like shaving, waxing or plucking.

The above hair removal methods seem to promise effective results to millions of people all over the world who feel miserable due to unwanted hair growth.

Waxing...or Laser Hair Removal?
by Ricardo d Argence

There are so many beauty regimens available on the market for women today that sometimes, instead of a simple choice or decision, it has become which treatment would suit you best. Whether to have legs waxed or use laser treatment is one such scenario. These two methods are preferred by women instead of the old method of having to shave their legs every other day.

Waxing can sometimes frighten people if they have never had it done before, especially if they have watched a film or program where this treatment has been used and heard all the noises. In actual fact, it may not hurt as much as people think. It is a procedure used by many women to remove unwanted hair by the root.

If you choose to have the cold waxing technique, this is a quick and simple procedure. The wax is smoothed across all the unwanted hair, and then a paper strip is pressed down along the waxed area. The paper will then be ripped off quickly in the opposite direction the hair grows.

Those women who have sensitive skin can still have a wax removal but a different procedure is on offer. This procedure will consist of having hot wax applied to the area and allowed to cool off at which point the unwanted hair is removed with a clean dry cloth. Both of these waxing procedures have been used many times, creating a smooth skin that can last up to as long as two months before going through the process again.

Those women who prefer an alternative hair removal technique can try using laser treatment. Again, a simple easy routine is used to perform unwanted hair removal. The heat from the laser is aimed at the hair follicles and causes inflammation, causing the unwanted hair to go into hibernation. This method can take three to five treatments and then a yearly routine for maintenance.

The laser method treatment is performed by a highly skilled professional; the laser is placed long enough to heat the follicles but not long enough to cause damage to the outer skin. This treatment may take longer to get results, though. Many women favor this method because of the lasting effects, only having to return after all the treatments on a yearly visit.

These different methods of removing unwanted hair both have their advantages and disadvantages. Both methods are good but it is personal choice, time and money are all things to consider. Some parlors may be more expensive than others using either treatment.

Those who want to choose wax hair removal may prefer this method and treat this as a social outing just the same as having their hair or nails done. They may not even be bothered about the cost or the fact they have to go every two months and are happy to do so.

Laser hair removal, for the majority of those women with busy working schedules, may be the preferred treatment. In the beginning, it may mean more trips to the parlor but after the initial first treatment followed by the remaining three to five treatments, they will benefit after this with the next treatment being a yearly maintenance. Laser hair removal for the long term advantages will no doubt become a favorite treatment of many women.
