Category: Best Hair Removal | Dec 13, 2009 |
Apparently, today 17% of the people that opt for laser hair removal are men. Women always had this urge for having a smooth skin so that they look beautiful but today even men are getting into it. Even athletes today want to get rid of their unwanted body hair as according to them it is a hindrance in their way for giving their best.
Laser hair removal is a process that can permanently eliminate your unwanted hair. However it is one of the most expensive hair removal methods available today. There are a lot of misconceptions about laser hair removal processes such as it can damage your skin and all. However none of them are true. Laser hair removal methods have been tested for decades and are now FDA approved. Though they should be undertaken by professionals or else one can have adverse reactions.
Before opting for a laser hair removal process you should consider the following:
The Cost
Laser hair removal is the most expensive hair removal method out there today. Though the results are fascinating still it can take more than $100 per session. If you are a person who does not want to spend so much on yourself then it is not for you. However another suggested way of reducing your cost is to get laser therapy on certain areas of your body that you think cannot be easily cleaned up by wax or other products.
The Process
You need to know how laser therapy works. Laser therapy is based on the photothermolysis process that states darker objects or areas absorb and attract light. Similarly when a laser beam is target on your skin it works on the darker areas which are the hair follicles and melanin responsible for hair growth. It can also be a time consuming treatment as it can up to several sessions gapped with 10 – 15 days. The sessions depend upon your body response to the treatment and how much of the body hair you need to get lasered. Adding to this, the number of sessions required varies according to your hair growth. At times you need to go for more than one session to get rid of hair on one particular area.
Compared to other hair removal methods today laser hair removal is considered the best. It does not have any side effects or demerits and can offer you a number of advantages. It can permanently get you rid off your unwanted body hair and can give you that smooth skin you’ve always dreamt of.
Removing your body hair is a healthy practice for personal hygiene. Today people are getting more and more aware of it and therefore they go for a number of methods and products out there. However one needs to be careful because amongst these there are products and therapies that can harm you. Even for the laser therapy you first need to consult a professional whether you are a suitable candidate for it or not.

One of the side effects of laser hair removal are burns. While burns are not always part of the treatments, on very sensitive skin, major burning can occur. Because you are trying to get hair removed in such a sensitive area, I would look into all possible side effects. If you think you can stand any of them on your genitals for ever treatment (there are usually several), then maybe this is okay for you. But for most people, I would say leave the hair or find a different solution.
I think before you do anything, you need to talk to your doctor just to make sure. Because one of the side effects of this syndrome is excess body hair, the physical response to laser hair removal may not be as effective as with people without this syndrome. The hormonal response of hair growth will probably not be stopped by laser hair removal. However, this does not mean that you should not get it. As with most people, laser hair removal is not a permanent treatment. Often times it serves as a way to thin unwanted hair, to make hair management easier. If this would be enough for you, then this might be an effective way to make your life easier.
My wife's aunt is a dermatologist and had this done for free. She never would have had paid for it if it wasnt' for her aunt. But knowing what she knows now, my wife would have paid for it in a SECOND! The results were outstanding and permanent (3 years so far)
It works…it REALLY works. Keep in mind it will take AT LEAST two treatments, maybe even three or four depending on your hair, the area, and thickness.
Also, find a reputable dermatologist. There are very minimal risks involved, but lot of fly by night companies are doing these procedures. The risks are amplified if you go with someone that doesn’t know what they are doing. You can end up with scars and burns if you go with an amateur . You shouldn’t worry about this with a true MD. If it is an MD find out how long they have been doing it.
I don’t know how it works, but the laser only “zaps” dark colors. Non-caucasians (Latinas, blacks, or other dark skinned people) may have to go through more treatments. The laser will have to be turned down as to not burn the darker skin. Some very dark skinned individuals may not be able to have the procedure done.
The $750 – $1000 sounds inline with what you should pay for TOTAL removal…ie multiple sessions. That sounds pretty high for a single session.
You should expect lots of red splotches and some light to moderate swelling in the treated areas for a few days. So if you have your upper lip done people at work will know you had something done the next day. It look kind of like a fresh waxing times two or three. I don’t think it is anything to be ashamed of. But if you are self-conscious about this you may want to have the procedure done on a Thurs or Friday and take a day or two off of work.
It can be a little painful in some places. Not severe, but you will feel a little something.
Hope that helps!

It is not like that laser hair removal work for the darker skinned people..It is quite suitable for all the people and it is quite easy but cost is high when compared to other treatment..It is not suitable for the people who have sensitive skin…It is also simple and safety way to remove the hair…
I am getting it done also for the first time next Tuesday – and they told me to shave. They even said if I don't – that's fine, they'll shave it for me!!
Sounds gross – but I guess that means that it should be smooth. It isn't the actual hair that the lazer zaps – its the pigment of the hair that it detects.
Anyway – hope it works for you!
when i went to get laser hair removal on my underarms, they told me that i had to have shaven the area within twenty four hours of the procedure. where ever you're getting it done you should ask if they think the laser hair removal will work on the short thin hairs you have under your sideburns because i heard it doesn't work on hair that's almost like peach fuzz.
Go to the attached site. Some of the providers listed offer training schools. Just call the number, 888.517.4187, ask for Doug and ask him to get you a list of which providers offer certification.
Good luck.
