Hair Removal Options, Laser Hair Removal or the Wrong Way (II)

What to Remove
Throughout time, everyone has had different opinions on what hair to remove and from whom. Today is no different. In fact, it really is a personal decision. Clients, both men and women, have removed hair from any number of areas, including:

•Armpit - Think of those Victorian women just shocked by that 1915 cover of Harper's Bazaar and how they rushed out to shave their own, too. Shaving your armpits is quick and easy, but, of course, it's that one time that you forget

•Forearm - Some people just naturally have darker hair than others, which can be a bit of a personal embarrassment for them. Laser hair removal can leave you with soft, smooth and hair-free arms in just a few treatments.

•Legs-For women, shaving legs is just a chore. It hurts, but they put up with the pain because no one wants to be caught with stubble. Laser hair removal can end all the needless nicks, cuts and endless hours in the shower over one's lifetime.

•Bikini area - Just like waxing, there are many styles and techniques to hair removal in the bikini area and, yes, it's for men and women.

•Eyebrow - Plucking one's eyebrows is painful, and more importantly, over-plucking one's eyebrows can lead to permanent hair loss in all the wrong areas.

•Upper Lip - Both men and women can have unwanted hair growth on their upper lip, from peach fuzz to 5 o'clock shadow, and it can be removed easily and painlessly.

•Facial- Unwanted facial hair can be daily drudgery for men and a social embarrassment for women. A few laser hair removal treatments will have you throwing out your razor and sporting a big smile on your face instead.


Other Points to Consider

Many cosmetic procedures are limited in their effectiveness on darker skin tones. Laser hair removal, however, is perfectly safe to use on those patients. In fact, there is a very specific laser used just for this situation that emits a longer wavelength to make hair removal safe and effective.

Lasers actually work best on darker hair colors, as they absorb the light's energy more readily during treatment. For this reason, laser hair removal works best on darker hair and may be less effective on those with very light blonde, red and gray hair. Speak with your hair removal specialist for more details.
