Laser Hair Removal Risks - What You Need to Consider
by Caleb Liu

The idea of having a laser beam directly on your body can be scary, and it should be. Even though the process of laser hair removal is very effective and painless there are plenty of risks associated with it. You need to be aware of these risks so that you can make an informed decision about the process being right for you or not. Many people find they like it better than waxing or electrolysis due to the pain factor they carry.

With laser hair removal you will only feel a tingling sensation.
You can have a laser hair removal session in under an hour, but it depends on the amount of hair you have. There is no recovery period that takes place so you can conveniently leave the clinic and go right back to your daily schedule. Lasers should not result in any damage to the skin.

However some people experience a type of allergic reaction to the laser hair removal procedure. Common symptoms of this include redness, itching, swelling, and even blisters forming. They generally go away within a couple of days though as they are the result of the skin becoming irritated. Pupura may result as well which is a change in color pigment of the skin. It may be permanent or temporary.

If the equipment used is not up to date or the technician performing the laser hair removal isn't skilled in it, permanent damage can occur. This can include scarring, scabbing, and the skin becoming discolored. You need to ask during your consultation about the qualifications of the person who will be performing the procedure as well as the equipment they will be using to do it.

It is also important to realize that laser hair removal only works well on light colored hair and skin. It can cause severe pigment damage to darker colors of skin. You don't want to pay for the procedure to find out it isn't going to work well removing red or dark colored hairs. Even if the laser hair removal is a success you may need more than on procedure to get the results you are after.

BRAZILIAN WAXING VERSUS LASER HAIR REMOVAL
by Paulina Saliba

Consumers have not been willing to diverge from traditional Brazilian waxing methods until recent developments in laser hair removal. This article engages in a comparative analysis of the two methods allowing readers to make an informed choice for future brazilian treatments.

A brazilian wax results in a hairless pubic region. The procedure removes those embarassing stray hairs and eliminates shaving burns or bumps. Women report greater confidence with regards to cleanliness and odour control. The pain is said to lessen with each waxing session (apparently) and enables woman with thick or strong hair growth to dress in revealing swimwear and lingerie. It is undeniable that this traditional procedure has it's inherent disadvantages.

Imagine an eyebrow wax and transfer the pain to an area considerably larger and more sensitive. The smooth and silky feeling only lasts for two weeks before the wiry hair appears and becomes irritably itchy. Time and frequency of the waxing treatment also presents a huge disadvantage. A brazilian wax takes approximately half an hour and must be undergone every three weeks. It can be very painful as wax is applied to the hair and removed from the roots. This results in red irritated skin, ingrowns and blistering for days subsequent to treatment.

Has Laser Hair Removal come to the rescue? Laser Hair brazilian is reported to overcome these problems, providing more apparent and permanent benefits after just the first treatment. The use of modern laser hair removal technologies means hair can be treated quickly and effectively usually within approximately 4 to 8 treatment sessions. What does the procedure involve?

During the laser hair removal process, optimal wavelengths of light energy are gently delivered to both the hair shaft and follicle in pulses, through a delicate, computer-controlled hand piece. This heats up the hair, significantly damaging the re-growth potential of the follicle. As part of the laser hair removal process, hair that is hidden under the skin during the treatment will subsequently fall out over the next week or two.

The source of the unwanted hair growth problem is also targeted and treated, allowing for permanent results. Is laser hair removal expensive? Due to the nature of the procedure, costs of a laser brazilian range between $70 and $210 over 6 to 8 treatments. This can be compared to the $55 cost of a brazilian wax which occurs every 3 weeks for a lifetime.

After a quick and safely conducted procedure with a qualified clinician, the hygienic feeling, elimination of ingrowns and visibly finer hair makes a laser hair removal brazilian the better option. You also have the added benefit of resuming daily activities immediately as any redness will quickly subside.

Remove Your Unwanted Hair on Your Body Via Laser Hair Removal Treatment If You Are Afraid of Waxing
by J.J. Yong

You might be spending few minutes on completing unnecessary things like removing unwanted hair in the toilet. Those unwanted can be found in certain areas like your armpit, chest and your legs.

It can be your daily or weekly routine of getting rid of your hair and you would be probably blaming your 'hairy' genes as your unwanted hairs keep re-growing at your body. Then, you would try waxing to remove your annoying hair for good, but this particular method is indeed painful.

Why would you prefer to choose such a painful hair removal method and yet, this method is unable to remove hair permanently?

There is one effective solution to this problem - by undergoing laser hair removal treatment. This treatment utilizes laser to penetrate the minuscule pores of the skin and act directly on the root of the hair follicle, avoiding hair from re-growing on a long period of time.

Bare in mind that hair will re-grow after two weeks of your first treatment. Therefore, you are required to undergo few rounds of treatments (averagely six treatments) after you have completed the first one. The permanent hair removal effect would only take place after you have completed all treatments provided by your hair removal specialist.

If you are serious about having this treatment, do not tan your skin before you start any laser hair removal treatment. Besides that, do not shave your unwanted hair on your body. A technician would trim your hair within perfect length for this treatment. This treatment is not as painful as waxing. You would experience slight pain in which most people could endure.
