Press Release Body = Laser/IPL Hair Removal Tips

Are you considering laser/IPL hair removal? Then you must read this before you go
under the light.

For many people having hair in places where it is not wanted can be an
embarrassment. The hair can be on the body or on the face, wherever it happens to be
growing, these people want it gone. Temporary hair removal solutions are not what
they are looking for; they want something that will produce permanent results. A
laser/IPL hair removal system would suit their needs nicely, but how does it work?

Laser/IPL hair removal provides effects that are similar to electrolysis, but are
much more conferrable and quicker. There are several types of laser/IPL systems that
have been approved for use in hair removal, while they all work a little
differently; the premise is the same for all of them, by removing the hair at the
follicle. The laser/IPL kills the follicle by delivering very intense heat energy
to it.

One of the reasons that lasers and IPLs are becoming so popular is that this system
is a relatively painless form of hair removal, especially when compared to the more
traditional forms of body hair removal. The laser/IPL hair removal system also
provides excellent outcomes in the face, underarm area and neck, resulting in a
60-80% success rate within two to three visits.

Many people prefer laser/IPL hair removal because they see dramatic results from
having it done. Results such as a 50% reduction in hair after only one treatment.
Most people also like the fact that when the hair grows back, it is usually sparser
and of a finer texture. Although many of individuals have had permanent removal
of all the hair, some individuals only achieved a permanent hair reduction of
approximately 70%. No laser/IPL hair removal facility should ever promises future
client permanent removal of all hair. The reason is that everyone's hair follicles
respond to treatment in a unique way.

The first approved laser system was the Nd:YAG, which required the skin to be waxed
first to remove the unwanted hair and therefore, causing the follicles to open. This
is necessary for the laser to reach the follicles, next a light absorbing, carbon
based lotion need to be applied to the skin. The laser heats the lotion that has
reached the hair follicles, which causes damage to the follicle, but leaves the skin
undamaged.

While the Nd:YAG method is still in use, there are newer, less time-consuming
laser/IPL hair removal methods available. These methods uses pulses rather than a
continuous laser light beam to warm up the follicles. The newer methods also remove
the need for waxing of the skin as well as for the application of the carbon-based
lotion. The use of the pulse allows the follicle to be heated more quickly while
exposing the skin to lesser amounts of damaging heat.

While laser hair removal treatments offer great results that last, it is fairly
expensive, especially when compared to hair removal methods that need to be done on
a more frequent basis. For example, to remove facial hair, the series of treatments
that would be needed will cost approximately $1,000, depending upon where you live.
More involved procedures, such as back or legs will be around $5,000 for the series
of treatments. However, many patients see this as an investment that in the long run
will save them time, pain and money.
