Live the Shave-Free Life with Laser Hair Removal

posted in: Laser Hair Removal | 0

Did you know that both women and men will spend 7716 hours shaving in their lifetime? Over a lifetime the cost of razors are certainly higher than the cost of laser hair removal treatments. And the cost of razors keeps rising. Oh, and don’t forget the cost of shaving cream. And if you didn’t have to shave, think about all that extra time you’ll have. Ladies, never again will you have to be worried about being beach ready! And who doesn’t want to end being embarrassed about unwanted hair?

Laser hair removal is a fast and affordable way to achieve permanent hair reduction. Lasers work by targeting the melanin in your hair follicle. A laser beam is placed on the hair follicle, a pulse is delivered and zap goes the hair. Actually what we are doing is cauterizing the blood vessel that brings nourishment and oxygen to the hair follicle. Lasers can only treat actively growing hair. There are three stages to hair growth: 1) actively growing, which means you can’t pull it out, 2) transitional, which means the hair is shedding and 3) the sleepy stage, when a hair follicle has not begun to sprout. This is the reason a series of treatments are necessary to achieve permanent reduction. A small area such as underarms, bikini, face or neckline can take only up to 15 minutes; whereas, a large area such as a back, legs, or arms may take up to an hour.

The best candidate for laser hair reduction is an individual with light skin and very dark hair. If you fit that description, you are the poster child for laser hair reduction. There are lasers on the market designed to treat darker skin too.

So get ready to live the shave-free life. It might also be the tweeze and wax-free life too.
