Teenagers have a tendency to be too sensitive about hair growth, especially when it appears in a less desirable area of the body as the face or arms. Girls may be more sensitive about it than men. What can you do? Laser hair removal may be an option. How does laser hair removal for teens A teenager with unwanted hair shaving yet not wanting, or the use of wax and other methods, because these methods can stimulate hair growth faster on a teenager whose body is not fully mature. Laser hair removal is an option to consider, but should be decided by parents and adolescents. All laser hair removal clinics require a parent or legal guardian consent for the procedure on a child under 18 years of age. Laser hair removal works the same for adolescents as it does for adults. In the latest technology, a laser light called intense pulsed light (IPL) is used to destroy hair follicles, where the unwanted hair appears. The procedure is safe for adolescents, but should be aware of how the procedure beforehand. Knowing what to expect to make the visit more enjoyable. Possible side effects for teens Side effects of laser hair removal has been greatly reduced with the latest technology IPL. However, adolescents should be aware of the possibility of side effects. A reddening of the treated area may occur for several days after a laser procedure for the patient must carefully plan the following days. Having regard to the procedure during a week of school holidays or summer months could be a good idea. In addition, the hair does not disappear immediately. Usually thickens first, and then fall in a week or two, so the expectations of the royal visit should not be too high. Swelling in the treated area can also occur for several hours after treatment. Teens should understand that several visits may be necessary to remove all unwanted hair. Four visits are average, but could be less depending on the amount of hair that has to be removed, and the patient's hair color and skin. Disadvantages of laser hair removal for teens Laser hair removal may not be the best option for some adolescents. One reason is cost. Laser hair removal can be expensive for teenagers, it is not permanent. The growth of a process-haired teenager is usually not mature and therefore more treatments may be required before to keep unwanted hair away. After a treatment session, the hair tends to stay out for about six months. After this period, the hair begins to grow again. The hair growth of a teenager is often faster than an adult, so that the laser hair removal procedure can be repeated. Another reason is laser hair removal does not always work with every type of hair or skin. The affects are usually best for light skin and dark hair combo. Blond, white and gray hairs lack pigment, so that treatment is not effective or success rates may be limited. The adolescent and parent (s) should consult with a specialist in laser hair removal to decide whether treatment is better. Tanning and laser hair removal Another thing to consider is whether or not teenagers so often of his body, either sunlight or a solarium. A tan does not react positively to laser hair removal in many cases. Why? Tanned skin can prevent some of the laser energy reaching the hair follicles because the darker skin absorbs more energy than light. When the skin absorbs most light, the hair follicles are deprived of light, and the skin can be burned during the procedure, causing distress. Before the procedure, adolescents should avoid tanning for as long as possible with the use of strong sunscreen while outdoors. Fortunately, there are new methods that appear on the scene to help people with tanned or dark skin. As technology and techniques improve, so are the most positive outcomes for people of all skin types and hair. An example is super long pulse technology that extends the power of light over a long period of time instead of intense, rapid treatments. The skin is not affected, and more hair follicles can be successfully achieved. There are many types of lasers and treatment methods on the market, so the specialized equipment and must be sought before considering treatment. Adolescents may benefit from laser hair removal if they are ready for the procedure and possible side effects. A successful procedure can help build confidence and provide a safe, simple way to get rid of unwanted hair. About the Author For more info, you can visit this page on http://www.laserhairblog.org

Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal

2012-05-10T07:03:00.002-07:00

by I Love Laser When people think of lasers hitting their skin to remove hair, they are sometimes worried. Many wonder if lasers are even safe for the skin, and what kind of side effects can be expected with laser hair removal. To learn more, read on. It is natural to be worried about this type of procedure. However, it is important to note that while there are side effects, these side effects are extremely rare, and laser hair removal went through 20 years of testing before it was ever made commercially available. It is cheaper in the long run than shaving, less painful than waxing, and completely safe. To help you become more educated with laser hair removal though, here are some of the side effects related to laser hair removal. - Darkening of Tattoos: If you have a tattoo on the area where you are having hair removed by laser, there is the chance that the tattoo may darken. - Skin Reddening: Your skin is being damaged by the laser hair removal sessions around the follicle. This means that after repeated laser exposure, there is the chance of some minor side effects like the reddening of skin. This side effect can be minimized by using proper exposure time and proper cooling methods on the skin. - Blistering: It is extremely rare to suffer blistering because of new technology in laser hair removal, but it can happen with older equipment in clinics. - Crusting: Roughly 10 percent of all individuals who go for laser hair removal end up with crusting. This happens most often with long-pulsed ruby and alexandrite lasers. Usually this happens as a result of over-treating an area of the body with the laser. - Infection: It is very rare to suffer infection, but sometimes it can happen. It is very important you keep the area of the skin treated completely clean and well rinsed off between sessions. You can also get antibiotic and anti-viral creams from the clinic. - Darkening of Skin: Sometimes after laser hair removal, hyper pigmentation can occur. When this happens, the skin becomes darker. If your skin is tanned, you are much more likely to have your skinned darkened in the area treated. With bleaching cream, you can lighten the skin again. - Hypo Pigmentation: This is the opposite of hyper pigmentation and it involves the lightening of the skin in the treated area. This usually happens after multiple exposures to the laser but it will not last long. Permanent hypo pigmentation is incredibly rare. The chances of getting any of these side effects are incredibly rare. Most can be completely avoided by simply following the directions of the clinic doctors, who will explain to you exactly what you need to do to make the sessions quicker and more efficient, and to safeguard your skin during the treatment. They will also have advice for how to help your skin heal after the treatments are done. Done right, you should have absolutely no side effects, except for red skin that lasts only three days.

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.

Hair Removal Options, Laser Hair Removal or the Wrong Way (I)
by Steve Peerson

Techniques for Hair Removal

In addition to painfully scraping one's skin with bits of sea shells to remove hair, men and women have tried many other methods throughout history - some more successful than others and some more painful than others.

Waxing: This method involves spreading a warm wax, usually beeswax, onto the skin. A fabric cloth or disposable paper strip is then placed over the wax and smoothed onto the skin surface. It is removed quickly, taking the unwanted hair with it. This method can be very painful; in fact, there are many famous youtube.com videos documenting how painful this procedure can be. The benefits generally last 2-6 weeks, depending on the individual.

Tweezing: Women have been tweezing their eyebrows since Leonardo painted the Mona Lisa. It is generally thought to be a slow and painful process that needs to be repeated often.

Threading: Also called epilation, this process is an ancient technique for hair removal and involves rubbing a twisted thread along unwanted facial hair to remove it. With experience and finesse, the process can be utilized without great discomfort.

Depilatory Creams: As gross as it may sound, a depilatory cream removes hair by physically dissolving it through the use of chemicals. The process is virtually pain-free and can last several weeks. Unfortunately, women with sensitive skin may have difficulty using such a harsh product.

Shaving: The disposable razor companies can tell you that their new 27-blade razor with 17 strips of aloe is just fabulous, but razors still leave us with the dreaded razor burn, not to mention the daily chore of constant hair removal.

Electrolysis: This former high tech version of hair removal was introduced in way back in 1875. The process involves sending an electrical current down into the root of the unwanted hair, effectively killing it. The process took quite a bit of time because each follicle had to be treated separately.

The Rise of Laser Hair Removal

Beginning in the 1990's, physicians and medical professionals begin to see the potential of the laser in permanent hair removal. The advent of the laser allowed practitioners to overcome previous obstacles to hair removal, namely pain and re-growth. In fact, it also eliminates the problems of ingrown hairs, razor burn and those dreaded nicks.
Laser hair removal actually destroys hair at the follicle. The hair falls out and the pore closes up, leaving the patient with smooth skin. The procedure is relatively painless, partially because it covers many follicles at once, unlike electrolysis. In fact, depending on the desired are of treatment, laser hair removal can be performed during a few quick lunch breaks and yet the results last a lifetime. Of course, a MD oversees all treatments but the actual process is done by highly trained medical professionals on the team, right in the doctor's office.

by Bracker Memolo

Facial laser hair removal systems emit a light laser beam that passes over the skin for the hair follicle. Your hair absorbs it, the power in the laser is changed to heat as well as the hair follicle is disabled.

How can hair laser removal look when compared with electrolysis?

Electrolysis is usually a tedious, painful process destroying each hair follicle one at a time. This may sometimes require treatment over years at regular intervals.

Laser hair removal on the other hand can treat hundreds of follicles of hair simultaneously therefore the process is really a lot quicker.

Is laser hair removal for anyone?

Coolglide Technology

With CoolGlide's unique design, now there is the flexibleness to deal with all skin variations with laser treatment. Before CoolGlide, tanned patients and persons with darker skin cannot expect results from laser treatment treatment.

A CoolGlide device includes a longer wavelength which allows it to help remedy all pigment concentrations. While patients with fair skin still respond the most beneficial, medical studies established that patients with tanned or dark skin may now achieve hair reduction corresponding to fair skinned patients without undesireable unwanted effects.

Other Laser treatments Devices

With some hair laser removal equipment, a total requirement could be that the hair need to be darker versus the surrounding skin.

White skin with dark hair responds best. Persons with dark, coarse hair include the easiest to treat as dark hair contains melanin, a dark pigment which attracts the laser light so more laser energy is absorbed. Fewer sessions are required.

Light colored locks are more difficult to help remedy and blonde and red hair have become difficult to treat requiring multiple laser treatments sessions with varied results.

Beta-carotene, obtained in vitamin A, carrots, squash along with other vegetables generates a yellow or orange color inside the skin which absorbs the laser energy and decreases it reaching your hair follicle.

As beta-carotene usually stays in the body for months, an adjustment in diet are usually necesary just after conception of laser treatments treatment for optimum results.

Persons with light skin are the easiest to take care of, requiring less facial laser hair removal sessions because the answers are faster.

Persons with dark skin or sun tanned skin take longer to obtain results because melanin, the dark pigment in hair, is additionally found in skin. Melanin absorbs a few of the laser light.

There is the danger of dark skin being burned in these instances so a laser light which has a lower energy level can be used. This is why additionally a more impressive range of know-how is needed from the laser hair removal clinic.

10 Things You Must Know About Getting A Good Laser Hair Removal Service

By Justin Koh

Laser hair removal is supposed to be a safe process, yet dubious claims and inappropriate equipment still lead to scams and injuries. Consumers themselves must know the ins and outs of laser hair removal to prevent themselves from getting cheated. The following points will aid you in making a proper decision to get yourself ready at the clinic.

1) The sensitivity of your skin. A skin can be too delicate to be damaged instead of getting treated. A technology called CoolGlide can treat all known skin types. Consult a professional to examine and discuss over your skin and infection issues prior to treatment.

2) The degree of discomfort. Do not believe in a "no-pain" process. All treatment are bound to make you uncomfortable. However, it's not anywhere near the whip-lash pain of waxing.

3) The possibility of regrowth. Laser hair removal cannot possibly stop hair growth, though it can reduce growth rate permanently after hair cells are killed. If a practitioner claims to eradicate hair growth completely, you should ask for testimonials and get their proof upfront; it's in their benefit to tell you their achievement.

4) The cost. Depending on the area size treated, it could amount from US$25 to US$250. You may compare the price ranges of several services to get a good gauge. Ask for outstanding reasons that could factor into the overall cost, particular the overheads for their equipment.

5) Aging equipment. Ask for the type of laser used, whether it is effective, how long the practitioners have used the equipment and if there are newer models. You have a right to know.

6) Multiple treatment plans. It's quite likely to return for several treatments within 2 weeks, and then another separate session if necessary within a year to eliminate regrowth, but asking you to come back regularly without the fullest and sincere explanation on your case is simply an indication of ineffectiveness. Beware of such tactics that forces you to pay a lump sum in full. You deserve a good laser treatment as it is.

7) Safety measures. Laser, if abused, can cause damaging effects. Check what precautions are taken, like applying a layer of protective cream over the skin or wearing eye goggles.

8) The practitioner. Who is actually doing the treatment? The experienced doctor or some 'assistant'? Check that the practitioner is trained, qualified and certified to carry out treatments.

9) Ask for a test treatment. This is a simple request which practitioners have no difficulties to fulfill. Cost will still be incurred, but your initial experience with laser hair removal gets you in the know of how a typical treatment works and in tune with the clinical environment.

10) Get written information. Get a written agreement on all obligations, commitment and breakdown of cost from the practitioner to ensure that he stays true to the standard of service provided.

Laser Hair Removal - A Blessing for Many
by Danielle Saige

Tired of plucking, waxing or shaving off those unwanted hairs from your body? Then go for an alternate method of hair removal like laser hair removal. The biggest disadvantage with other methods of hair removal is that you need to keep up and maintain constant care to prevent hair from growing back. But with laser hair removal, you can be relieved from unwanted hair for a longer period of time.

Laser hair removal is a very effective method when it comes to removing unwanted hair from the body. With this method, most of the unwanted hair from your body will be removed and the result can last for a long period of time. Although the method does not lead to permanent hair removal, it can achieve hair free, smooth skin for many months or years. This is the main reason why this method has gained such popularity over time. It is generally believed that laser hair removal is very effective on people with fair skin and dark hair because the laser will target the dark after separating it from the lighter shade. But there are machines too that can treat people who do not have a fair skin.

The different kinds of hair and the effects of laser

Laser hair removal is effective on different hair and skin types. You can only see positive results after a few sittings of the treatment. In case you have very light hair, you may require sitting for more treatments than people with dark hair. Laser hair removal mainly targets hair from below the root, singes it, and stops any kind of growth for a long period. If your hair is coarse and thick, the laser may find it difficult to locate the root and check its growth.

Time frame of laser hair removal

If you are treating a small area like the upper lip, you may require sitting for 5 minutes or so. But for a larger area like the back, the procedure can take as little as 2 hours or more. The result of the process can last for many months or even years. But for best results including a high rate of decrease hair re-growth and reduction, you may require to go for 7 to 8 treatments in a span of 6 to 8 weeks. After treatment, you must go for maintenance treatments occasionally.

Few considerations before treatment

The laser used in the treatment generally targets the melanin present in the skin, which is responsible for the color of the skin and hair. It is seen that when more melanin is present in the skin, the laser works better. However, less melanin in the skin is equally sufficient because the laser will target only the hair and not the skin. It is considered that people with dark, thick hair and light skin are perfect candidates for the laser treatment. This method is generally not effective on people with red, blonde or grey hair.

The different lasers used in the process

The laser use is generally based on the type of skin on the candidate. Based on this, different varieties of laser are used. The Ruby Laser (694 nm, normal mode) is very effective on people with dark hair. Candidates will surely find a delay in the growth of hair. Another variety is the Pulsed Diode Laser (800 nm) which is perfect for people with coarse or thick hair and not for fine hair. Besides, it is safer for candidates with darker skin types. Intense Pulsed Light Source (500-1200 nm) is another type that is very effective for fine and coarse dark hair. It can remove light hairs temporary and is perfect for people with darker skin.

Many people have the misconception that laser hair removal can prevent hair growth permanently. But this is not true. It helps you get a hair free smooth skin for a longer period of time and the root of the hair re-grows. But the rate of growth is quite slower than earlier.

Why Leg Laser Hair Removal is Becoming the Preferred Choice
by Steve F

Permanent removal of hair on the legs using laser technology is now being selected by millions of females around the world to forever rid themselves from those long underarm and leg shaving sessions, thereby saving them lots of time and hassles each day. So, what is involved in this laser hair removal process? Let us explain it to you.

Firstly, every person is not an ideal candidate for leg laser hair removal. You need to discuss it with your doctor before embarking on this route for hair removal using laser.

Though laser hair removal process is less expensive and less painful as compared to the electrolysis procedure, not everybody may be eligible for laser treatment because of certain hair and physical characteristics that may make this process less effective.

People with exceptionally dark colored skin may not be ideal candidates for leg laser hair removal and may have to look for alternatives or less common lasers for removing unwanted hairs on the body.

In case you are serious about the process of hair removal, it's important to select a good facility for conducting this treatment. You will have to choose an accomplished professional and this must be a deciding factor when you are making your decision instead of any guarantee or prices of the treatment. The results of this treatment usually vary from a person to person and it is just not possible for any facility to guarantee 100 % hair removal on your legs using lasers.

Once it has been ascertained that you are an ideal candidate for laser hair removal on your legs, there are few recommendations that you need to follow before your treatment begins at the laser clinic. As a first step, you must stop tanning before your treatment begins. In case you have recently tanned, it is better to push back your laser treatment. You must also avoid all foods that are high on beta-carotene. These are mostly found in the bight colored fruits and vegetables and some vitamin supplements. It has been found that beta-carotene can interfere with you laser hair removal treatment by inhibiting the laser energy flow into the hair follicles. Finally, you should shave that skin area that has to be treated just few days ahead of your laser session as this process works well on short hairs.

A person undergoing laser treatment gets special goggles which he or she has to wear during the laser treatment session. These goggles reduce any kind of risk due to laser penetrating your eyes. The process for hair removal is very understandable. A laser is directed on the skin area (legs, arms, face, etc) where the hairs have to be removed permanently and the practitioner then starts the laser for just a second. This laser energy passes into the hair follicles and damages it permanently thereby leaving no chance of any future hair growth from the hair follicle.

Laser hair removal procedure is quite similar to any other medical method and has few minor side effects like slight scarring or discoloration of the treated area. You can even experience some skin discomfort like swelling, redness or burning sensation. All these are just temporary and clear up within few days.

However, the leg laser hair removal process has many positives as well. Being non-invasive process, back to work time is minimal. One single process can successfully remove hairs from a large affected area like legs, face, back, etc.

Here are a few advantages of having laser hair removal done on your legs:

Say goodbye to stubble

If you have lots of dark colored hairs, then you must be shaving them off on daily basis for minimizing any stubble. For all those people who do shave on daily basis, this dark coloring of their follicle area is really embarrassing. Therefore, by opting for hair removal using laser, you can finally say goodbye to this stubble.

No need of shaving

It's really impossible to get a soft and silky skin when the area is covered with hairs. Women have to regularly use razor to smooth out their legs each day to keep the skin soft. This naturally takes lot of time each morning and also results in lots of cuts and scrapes. With the laser hair removal for legs and other skin areas, this problem will banish for ever without any need for daily shaving.

Save dollars

Many people just die to have a strand-free skin. They pay regularly under the nose to get themselves waxes or stock up shaving creams, razors, depilatories, and much more. Though all these may appear as small expenses but they really add up to a big amount within a year. If you have hairs all over your body, then you will have to spend a fortune to get rid of such strands all over your body. By opting for laser hair removal, you may have to pay a higher upfront fee, but you also get lifelong relief as you won't have to worry about shaving or waxing anymore and you save good bucks too.

Enjoy silky and smooth skin

After laser hair removal destroys the hair roots, a person is just left with a silky and smooth skin. There is no hassle regarding stubble as nothing is growing out from the follicle. Aside from legs, many people like to have silky and smooth skin under bikini area, arms and upper lips. For all these people, laser hair removal guarantees satiny smooth skin for all times to come.

You may not like to spend your time on just maintaining yourself for work. Laser hair removal legs treatment is surely a permanent solution that will save you lots of money as well as time and would ensure that you do all those thing you like to do without sacrificing your image.

Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis
by Laser Hair Removal Group

Millions and millions of people around the world, male and female, remove unwanted and excessive hair from their faces and body everyday. There are many options and methods to consider.

Hair removal tends to fall into two main categories; non-permanent hair removal (shaving and depilatory creams to mention a few) and permanent hair removal (electrolysis and laser hair removal). As lifestyles change and become more demanding, and as technology develops, permanent methods have become more and more popular, especially laser hair removal, which was the most desired cosmetic treatment in a 2010 survey.

Laser hair removal and electrolysis are similar in that both methods destroy the hair at the root - the hair follicle. What differ between the two methods is the technology and procedures involved and also the time it takes to become permanently hair free.

Electrolysis can be very time consuming and painful. The procedure used during electrolysis treatments usually concentrates on one hair follicle at a time. The procedure consists of a metal probe being inserted into the hair follicle. Once the metal probe has been inserted into the hair follicle, it releases an electronic current or charge. This damages the hair follicle which is then unable to produce hair. Due to the invasive procedure of inserting a metal probe into the follicle, electrolysis is usually painful and uncomfortable. The procedure cannot be carried out very quickly and therefore appointments can be long and tiresome. Providing treatments are carried out following the treatment plan, the average timescale for becoming hair free on one area using electrolysis is 10-12 months.

Soprano XL LHR is a non-invasive and pain free, permanent treatment. This treatment can be safely carried out on any area of the face and body, including the sensitive and hard to reach areas. Laser hair removal using the Soprano XL uses light energy that passes safely through the skin and is absorbed by the hair follicle as heat. The heat affects the hair follicle in such a way that results in the follicle being unable to produce hair again.

Unlike electrolysis, which concentrates on one hair follicle at a time, laser hair removal simultaneously concentrates on a great number of follicles at one time making the procedure quick and easy. Treatments do not take a long time, in fact treatments to the top lip and chin area can be completed in 5 minutes, the underarms 10 minutes, bikini area 20 minutes and so on. Results can be noticed after one treatment and providing the treatments are carried out following the treatment plan, the timescale for becoming hair free can be as quickly as 5-6 months. Due to the noticeable difference in appointment times and hair free timescales, the popularity of laser hair removal has increased greatly and has become an option which can fit into everybody's lifestyle whilst also giving them the results they desire.

A summary of a study published in 'Dermatologic Surgery' in 2000 showed the differences found between twelve patients using both treatments in twenty four areas of the body. It stated that while LHR may be more expensive than electrolysis, it is sixty times faster and less painful in comparison to electrolysis and more patients experienced more favourable results with laser hair removal and now with the soprano XL it is completely pain-free.

Laser Hair Removal - The Answers
by Laser Hair Removal Group

The popularity of laser hair removal increases day by day as it is a very attractive alternative to shaving, depilatory creams or waxing. It offers a more permanent solution which is safe and allows patients to see results almost straight away. Laser hair removal fits into the modern day lifestyle of both men and women and can leave you hair free within a small space of time.

There are currently a number of different lasers available that can be used to permanently remove unwanted hair on the face and body. There is the Alexandrite laser, the diode laser and intense pulsed light laser. The Alexandrite laser and the diode laser are similar as they use the same procedure to eliminate hair growth. However, the diode laser has a much longer wavelength and benefits people with darker skin as well as people with lighter skin types.

How the Soprano XL works?

The light energy safely passes through the skin to the hair follicles below. When the light energy reaches the follicles it is converted to heat energy and damages the hair follicle leaving it unable to produce new hair. To become completely hair free, a number of treatments are needed to be carried out to the targeted area, with intervals of roughly 6 weeks. This is because hair grows in different stages and the light energy only affects the actively growing hair follicles. On average, six treatments are recommended for the body and eight treatments for the facial area.

Laser hair removal, along with everything has its advantages and its disadvantages. The advantages include a comfortable treatment which is virtually painless. Topical anaesthetic creams are not required and laser hair removal is safe to be carried out on sensitive areas. The time it takes to carry out the treatment is minimal and can take as little as five to ten minutes for small areas, making laser hair removal a very convenient method of hair removal which can be fitted into even the busiest and most demanding of lifestyles. The results can be noticed almost immediately and hair is easier to manage in between treatments.

The only disadvantage of the Soprano XL is the fact that the procedure does not work well on people with very light, white or grey hair, although there are products available which can be used alongside laser hair removal to give better results. After treatment, the area which has been treated may be sensitive for a day or two and exposure to the sun or sun beds should be avoided until the skin has properly recovered

Laser Hair Removal and Tanning
by Laser Hair Removal Group

Modern day lifestyles can be demanding and tiring. From challenging careers and expectant children, there are sometimes not enough hours in the day to complete everything on your to-do list. But no matter what your lifestyle is and how much there is to juggle, we all want to look and feel our best. For many men and women, this includes having glowing tanned skin which is smooth, silky and hair free.

Tanning changes your natural skin pigmentation. Whether you choose to tan in the natural sunlight, use sunbeds in a tanning salon or use tanning creams, all methods of tanning have the same effect on skin by changing the skins natural pigmentation.

LHR is quickly becoming the number one choice for hair removal and is fast, convenient and affordable. Laser hair removal gives you hair removal without all the fuss and mess of other hair removal options.

However, people who favour tanning have been discouraged from having laser hair removal due to the fact that tanning, whichever method is used, darkens the skins and changes pigmentation. People are advised to use SPF15 or higher, even in everyday sunlight. This is because the procedure for laser hair removal involves light energy passing through the skin and entering the hair follicles below in order to disable them and prevent hair growth. However, tanned skin will absorb excess amounts of light energy as it passes through the skin. When the skin absorbs excessive amounts of light energy, the skin can suffer burning or discolouration. People were therefore advised to wait six to eight weeks after the last exposure to sunlight or tanning creams or until the tan had faded from their skin to avoid any adverse side effects during laser hair removal treatment.

But now as lifestyles changed and technology developes, lasers using longer wavelengths which provide safer treatments for people with darker or tanned skin are becoming more popular. The longer wavelength lasers enable people with tanned or darker skin types to have laser hair removal treatments comfortably and without the burning or discolouration which may have damaged skin when using other lasers.

Thanks to the constant development of technology, there is now a safe method of LHR available every skin tone and type.

Anyone who has just had a laser hair removal treatment, no matter which laser was used or what their skin type is, needs to look after their skin properly. The area which has been treated will be sensitive after treatment and patients should avoid exposure to sunlight and tanning creams until the sensitivity has gone and skin is healed. SPF 30 or higher should be used on treated areas to ensure the skin is not overexposed to sunlight and enable the skin to heal properly.

by Laser Hair Removal Group

Hair removal creams can be used on most areas of the face and body. The creams usually work within 10 minutes by dissolving the hair. Applying cream to large areas of the body can be tricky and messy and can cause irritation and even allergic reactions. The re-growth is also fairly quick and the hair can be back within a week, as like shaving, it removes hair from the surface of the skin and doesn't tackle the 'root' of the problem.

Waxing the unwanted hair gives a longer lasting result as the hair is basically pulled out whole. It is common not to notice any re-growth for around four weeks. Not long considering the pain waxing causes and the risk of ingrown hairs which can be irritating and cause infection.

However, there is one hair removal option available to everybody which gives permanent results!

Soprano XL

Laser hair removal is safe, quick and easy and with no mess, ingrown hairs or nasty nicks in sight!

Laser hair removal works by permanently damaging the hair follicle underneath the skin so the hair falls out and it is unable to grow back. Soprano XL can treat unwanted hair on all areas of the face and body. The treatment is both comfortable and painless and has even been likened to a hot stone massage. Who ever guessed that hair removal could be enjoyable?

Approximately six treatments are recommended for the body and eight for facial areas, usually with a space of six to eight weeks in between treatments. The best thing is that there are no side effects and results are noticeable after the first one to two treatments. After each treatment the hair will be noticeably thinner and finer than before until most of the hair is un-able to grow back. The costs start at approximately £50 per treatment and due to the small number of treatments needed to eliminate unwanted body hair the overall cost compared to a lifetime of shaving or waxing is considerably less.

LHR is becoming more and more popular by the minute. As the treatments are so comfortable with no mess and minimal effort from yourself, laser hair removal is the new lunch hour treat!

Hair Loss Restoration Methods
by Hair Transplant Expert

Hair loss can be a large episode in a person's life -- it can influence a person's perspective on how people see him/her. Other men may come to think that hair loss overshadows their personality and could affect their self-confidence and how they mingle with other people.

If you feel that your social life is affected because you're "balding," then maybe it's time to consider hair restoration. Many methods are available, both medical and surgical methods. Hair restoration costs vary depending on the method you will use.

One treatment is Finasteride. This medicine can stop and even reverse balding in most people. Finasteride inhibits the formation of DHT a hormone that causes male patterned baldness. One downside is you will need to continue using it your whole life if you do not want to be bald. There's also some side effects like birth defects so it is not to be used by women and children; other side effects are problems with ejaculation, loss of sexual drive, and some allergic reactions. These side effects are rare and you must consult your doctor if they occur. One popular brand of Finasteride is Propecia; this costs around 2 to 3 dollars per pill.

Another treatment is the use of Minoxidil, a hair regrowth medication. This works for younger men, normally 18-41 years old, and is mainly used on the vertex. Common side effects of Minoxidil include irritation or a burning sensation in the eye; redness or irritation at the area treated; itching; and unwanted hair growth elsewhere in the body. One popular brand of Minoxidil is Rogaine, which costs usually around 30 dollars for 1 month of use.

Still the most expensive would be hair surgery, specifically Follicular Unit transplant, which usually costs around 5 to 6 dollars per graft. Average number of grafts needed per surgery is more than 500, not to mention doctor's fee and the anesthesia. Price ranges from 4,000 up to 20,000 dollars. Of course, this is a more permanent solution compared to the other two methods.

You could do more research and consult a doctor for diagnosis to know which method will best apply to your condition.

Is Hair Loss Covered Under My Insurance Plan?
by Legacy Hair

Is Hair Loss Covered Under My Insurance Plan?
"That's a question I've had to answer thousands of times…" says Ronnie Talent, owner of Legacy Hair Center in Charlotte, N.C. "It depends on several different factors. But there are ways to increase your chances."
Hair loss will affect over 50% of men, and 25% of women in their lifetimes. The cost of surgical and non treatment options could potentially be thousands of dollars.
There are several determining factors.
1. The type of hair loss. People can lose hair for a variety of reasons, including
• Cancer
• Alopecia
• Male and Female Pattern Loss
• Burns and Accidents
• Thyroid Disorders
• Lupus
• And other medical conditions.

2. Your Insurance carrier. Some carriers are determined to do everything they can to deny insurance claims, no matter how severe the situation. Others are more sympathetic, and will be happy to help you quickly with a legitimate claim.
3. Which hair loss remedy you are pursuing. I've seen a handful of cases where Insurance companies would consider surgical hair restoration and even laser hair therapy, but most have some consideration for non surgical hair replacement if the case is presented properly.
4. How organized you are. Documentation is crucial if you are serious about moving forward with your options.
When seeking hair replacement for medical hair loss - some Insurance companies actually will cover between 80%-100% of the cost. NEVER FILE A CLAIM FOR A WIG!!! Always use the term "Cranial Prosthesis".
Follow these steps to file your claim to the Insurance Company:
• Check the booklet given to you by your Insurance Company. Look under "Covered Expenses" relating to "prosthesis".
• Obtain a written prescription for a "Cranial Hair Prosthesis" on an actual prescription form, as well as a detailed letter from the doctor explaining your hair loss and distress you have experienced due to your treatment. It's also best to include your own personal letter detailing the emotional effects hair loss has had on your life. Include that a Cranial Prosthesis is just as necessary as a prosthetic arm or leg. Also, explain the importance of you having hair for your job.
• Take some pictures of yourself without your hair. This will prove that your claim is NOT for Cosmetic purposes.
• Send your receipts, prescription, photos, and letters from the doctor and you to your Insurance Company.
If your insurance company denies you coverage, you CAN appeal by sending a letter to the claims department supervisor.

Bear in mind, sometimes you'll have to actually pay out of pocket initially, but the insurance company can reimburse you. If you are denied- keep trying! Persistence can pay off in a big way, and get you the help you need.

What Are the Side Effects of Laser Hair Removal?
by I Love Laser

When people think of lasers hitting their skin to remove hair, they are sometimes worried. Many wonder if lasers are even safe for the skin, and what kind of side effects can be expected with laser hair removal. To learn more, read on.

It is natural to be worried about this type of procedure. However, it is important to note that while there are side effects, these side effects are extremely rare, and laser hair removal went through 20 years of testing before it was ever made commercially available. It is cheaper in the long run than shaving, less painful than waxing, and completely safe.

To help you become more educated with laser hair removal though, here are some of the side effects related to laser hair removal.

- Darkening of Tattoos: If you have a tattoo on the area where you are having hair removed by laser, there is the chance that the tattoo may darken.

- Skin Reddening: Your skin is being damaged by the laser hair removal sessions around the follicle. This means that after repeated laser exposure, there is the chance of some minor side effects like the reddening of skin. This side effect can be minimized by using proper exposure time and proper cooling methods on the skin.

- Blistering: It is extremely rare to suffer blistering because of new technology in laser hair removal, but it can happen with older equipment in clinics.

- Crusting: Roughly 10 percent of all individuals who go for laser hair removal end up with crusting. This happens most often with long-pulsed ruby and alexandrite lasers. Usually this happens as a result of over-treating an area of the body with the laser.

- Infection: It is very rare to suffer infection, but sometimes it can happen. It is very important you keep the area of the skin treated completely clean and well rinsed off between sessions. You can also get antibiotic and anti-viral creams from the clinic.

- Darkening of Skin: Sometimes after laser hair removal, hyper pigmentation can occur. When this happens, the skin becomes darker. If your skin is tanned, you are much more likely to have your skinned darkened in the area treated. With bleaching cream, you can lighten the skin again.

- Hypo Pigmentation: This is the opposite of hyper pigmentation and it involves the lightening of the skin in the treated area. This usually happens after multiple exposures to the laser but it will not last long. Permanent hypo pigmentation is incredibly rare.

The chances of getting any of these side effects are incredibly rare. Most can be completely avoided by simply following the directions of the clinic doctors, who will explain to you exactly what you need to do to make the sessions quicker and more efficient, and to safeguard your skin during the treatment. They will also have advice for how to help your skin heal after the treatments are done. Done right, you should have absolutely no side effects, except for red skin that lasts only three days.
