Laser Hair Removal – The Safe, Obvious Solution
Category: Permanent Hair Removal | Feb 25, 2010 |
When it comes to Removing unwanted hair
, one thing becomes very clear: laser hair removal is a method that surpasses all others by a long shot.
There must be a reason why more than 2 million procedures are performed in the United States every year. There must be a reason why laser hair removal is number two on the list of the most performed cosmetic procedures. When we learned to harness the force of this beam, a whole new world opened before us. From military implementations to the medical and cosmetic worlds, lasers are used in surgeries, in vision correction, in dentistry, in skin resurfacing and in hair removal. The instruments themselves come in different shapes and strength, and since it is so widely used, it makes laser hair removal a very logical solution.
For years the electrolysis was considered the only Permanent hair removalmethod. The procedure was long, and several visits were required to treat a small area. They were not painful necessarily, but very uncomfortable. They had to shock each hair follicle to prevent it from growing again, and we have many of those who grow in different cycles. In a small study done at a laser center in Ankara, Turkey, the effectiveness of laser hair removal was about 60 times greater than that of electrolysis.
Laser hair removal is based on the same idea; shock the follicles and prevent them from growing again. But unlike electrolysis, it can treat more than one hair at a time by targeting a whole area. A cooling gel is applied first, then a few seconds at a time, a beam will be released causing no more than a slight sensation. After a few of those, the gel is wiped away and with it all the unwanted hair. Some additional visits are required to treat the new hair follicles that start to grow, usually between 4-6.
Of course you would want it to be done in a respectable place, where a professional – such as an M.D – supervises the use of the laser and insures that mistakes are not done.
But would you be willing to pay doctors fees for hair removal?
That is why Los Angeles Medi Spa is just a place you would want. In a peaceful and serene atmosphere, partnered by a well known plastic surgeon, a registered nurse and a team of dynamic estheticians, you can get botox to relax your worry lines, Juvederm and Restylane to fill up what nature has taken away, facials and a complete body treatment from head to toe. And of course you can have your unwanted hair removed by laser.

Help answer the question aboutpermanent hair removal
How long does waxing last and is there anything I can buy for permanent hair removal?How long a full body wax normally last and how painful is it? I am asking because shaving is difficult and doesn't last as long as I would like.
Also, is there anything I could buy for permanent hair removal? As I have naturally dark hair that grows back really quickly.
Thank you
for PERMANENT hair removal laser treatment is all that is permanent babe.
Lasers which are really expensive.
They have some home lasers but I've never used them so I don't know if they work.
the reason it takes so long is that there are different hair cycles so some follicles might not even grow out till later in life , but it does reduce the visible amount of hair, it does kill the follicles , and yes it can be expensive. and if done enough time it will completely remove alot of the hair and then you would just go in for occasional touch ups , for example once every 4-5 years.
You probably can’t, sorry.
And if you can I’m sure you don’t want to be playing with that stuff. Since the part of the follicle that grows is so deep in the skin to do enough damage to it would require a very powerful and possibly caustic substance that may very well give you second and third degree chemical burns on the skin surrounding the follicle.
Electrolysis, laser and scaring are the only things I know of that permanently remove hair and they do so by destroying the root irreparably. Any cream that can destroy a root irreparably is kind of a scary thought.
Ive been getting my eyebrows and lip waxed for about 10 years now, and while the pain stings, it hurts a whole heck of a lot less than tweezing each individual hair. If I shave its back the next day, waxing new hairs start a few days later, but about 2-3 weeks before its back like it was before.
I have REALLY dark thick hairs on my arms and legs. I finally decided to get my arms waxed, and my goodness I wish I had done it a long time ago! The arm hairs did start growing back within a week, but very few and they were much finer. I had tried all those do it at home wax strips and they had never worked before, now they do as long as I do it weekly to get the light new growth. The arm waxing really did not hurt very much. Once they rip it off you'll sting for about 10 seconds, and its gone! No more pain than like a belly flop in a pool.
Sadly I have found nothing for doing it at home that works permanently. I've tried so many things, so if you find something that works, Id love to hear it!!
Good luck
besides laser hair removal, which yes might take 7 month to see full results but will give you results right away, you can wax, it is not permanent but it takes forever for it to grow back, howeverr, if you wax the area you are get lasered you ruin the progress of the laser

Ok, let me try to help you =)
I bought a Tria about a year ago and used it twice on my bikini area then sold it. I saw a loss of about 10% of the hair, which is still awesome because it's permanent. It hurts not that bad but it seems worse because you have to do it to yourself. It only runs about 20 minutes on a single charge and takes 4 hours to charge back up. I found it very hard to cover my bikini area in 20 minutes because you have to pick it up and set it down for every light pulse, which is about the size of a dime. The lasers at the clinic pulse repetitively as they glide it over your skin quickly, it is MUCH faster. Also, the Tria is a class 1 laser, the ones in the salons are a class 4, so they are 4 times more powerful, effective, and painful. I ended up going to a medspa and I've really enjoyed it so far. The tria cost me $1,000 And to get 6 sessions of my legs, underarms, and bikini area, for permanent smoothness cost me a total of $4,000… And it's definitely worth 4 times the price. The tria will be a flop because of the kinks that make it difficult to use. I recommend saving up and getting it done at your dermatologist, clinic, or medspa. OK! Here's my standard laser hair removal answer if it help you any, I just wanted to add a little to it! =)
Okay… science answer:
You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage.
Okay…
Personal Experience:
I've had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! I've had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips spart to laser all the cracks… It's sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I've had so far I've lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It's because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works.
I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area:
Bikini-$750
Underarms-$750
Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

Permanent hair removal should be done by a professional. Any home kit cannot promise you permanent removal.
There are two home options that will gradually decrease hair growth:
1. Waxing – It is way easier to visit a pro for this, but it's totally possible to do on your own. Visit a beauty supply store that sells to the public for the equipment. GiGi supplies work best in my opinion. Waxing pulls hair by the bulb. Once the bulb is pulled out hair will not grow back. But, you don't always get the bulbs pulled out, so it may take years before the area is completely hairless, if ever.
2. Depilatories – Nair or Veet-like products. Not good for everyone, it burns my skin. The coarser the hair, the longer it has to stay on, and the higher the risk for burns. Depilatories turn the hair into a jelly-like mass and then it is wiped away. Again, it may take years to rid completely of the hair, if ever.
Professional methods include electrolysis and laser removal. Both might take a few visits and the place you choose for your services should have a good reputation. They are costly, but get the job done.
