Hair Removal Lasers

Humans have hair all over the body. It’s just the way we are built, as mammals. But as we developed from being Neanderthals to modern Homo sapiens, the presence of hair in certain parts of the body has started to be looked upon as a definite no-no in society. This started a surge of hair removal methods being introduced everyday to an overwhelmed public, who then had the options of removing those unwanted and embarrassing hairs in many ways. When it began, the only options available for those who wanted to remove their unwanted hair was shaving, but then this evolved to epilating using a machine, waxing, threading, bleaching and more recently laser treatment.

Hair removal lasers are those that remove hair in those embarrassing areas in a more long term way than any of the other hair removal methods in the market now. Waxing, threading and shaving can rid you of the hair, but this has to be done every few days of weeks, and so can be quite a hassle. Hair removal lasers are more long term than that, and work in a way so that they target the melanin found in roots of the hair cells, and are considered relatively safe as well. Hair removal lasers only aim for the pigment melanin, and so they do not affect surrounding cells or tissues. Hair removal lasers should be used only by practiced consultants and dermatologists, and so it is not advisable to go for hair removal using hair removal lasers at places that are not recognized, as they could not be very safe. The best results for hair removal lasers are when the clients have light skin and dark, coarse hair. Hair removal lasers can be used on large areas of skin as well, like the back or legs.

As with any other procedure, hair removal lasers should also be used with caution. Even though there have been many success stories for hair removal lasers, there is also the fact that some have experienced side effects due to the procedure. Improper use of hair removal lasers can cause burns, discoloring of the skin and lesions that could last a few months. There is also the fact that the procedure can be expensive, and full effects of hair removal lasers are only seen after 6-8 sittings. Research should be done by anyone interested in using hair removal lasers to find a more long term solution to their problem.
