Hair Removal Information
"Laser Hair removal works by using a beam of
laser light directed at the hair follicle to destroy it with heat. The
surrounding skin is not affected because it is cooled with a gel or other
method. The best candidates for laser hair removal are light skinned
with dark hair since the laser is attracted to the melanin in the hair.
Laser hair removal is quickly advancing in technology however so it can
now be used by people with darker skin or lighter hair."
"Electrolysis is the process of
destroying the hair follicle by using electrical current. A needle is
placed next to the hair follicle which then passes an electrical charge to
the follicle. The process can take quite a bit of time and can cause
discomfort to patients."
"Laser hair removal usually only causes mild
discomfort to the patient. If you feel any discomfort the technician can
normally apply an anesthetic in the form of a cream to the area being
worked on."
"The cost for laser hair removal can vary from
clinic to clinic. Most will offer you a free consultation to discuss your
options and provide you with a quote. Prices can be flat fees or priced on
the amount of time that the procedure will take."
"Both laser hair removal and electrolysis may
require multiple treatments to completely remove the hair in an area. The
amount of treatments will vary depending on the patient, nobody is the
same."
