Many
methods have been devised to remove unwanted hair, from
waxing and shaving to electrolysis. Unfortunately, waxing
and shaving are not long term solutions and while electrolysis
is variably effective, it involves significant time,
discomfort and expense.
The best-known method of achieving permanent hair removal
is Laser Hair Removal, and if the procedure is performed
correctly (using the right equipment), permanency is
possible. That's because laser hair removal actually
kills the hair follicle, which impairs it's ability
to grow.
Laser provides a safe,
fast, gentle and effective method for removal of hair
by producing an intense localized pulse of light of
a wavelength which is preferentially absorbed by the
pigment, or color, in the hair root or the blood vessel.
This process is called selective photothermolysis. It
is selective because it targets only the hair and not
the skin. But you need to get the hair at the right
stage in the growth cycle to ensure permanent laser
hair removal.
Everyone's
hair grows differently, depending on their age, weight,
metabolism, hormonal interactions, genetics, medications
and environmental influences. Irrespective of this,
hair grows in a cycle which has 3 distinct stages, and
Laser treatment in the first growth stage (Anagen stage)
is the best for permanent reduction. Laser treatment
in the other 2 stages (Categen and Telogen) can be less
effective, because in these stages new hairs are being
formed which may not be target-able by the Laser. So
for permanency you will need to undergo a number of
laser treatments over time to kill all the hair follicles
in that region.
