Are you fed up with waxing, shaving or tweezing to remove unwanted hair? No one wants to go through the hassle of shaving every couple of days, especially when the results aren’t always silky smooth.
Tweezing and waxing may take the hair from the root, but you still need to repeat the process on a fairly regular basis, which is why so many people turn towards laser hair treatment. In fact, laser hair removal is one of the most popular beauty treatments in the US. If you are considering this treatment, read on to discover everything you need to know about it.
Firstly, it is imperative to point out the fact that hair removal laser treatment destroys the hair by stopping the blood supply to the root of it. It does this by shining extremely concentrated light into the hair follicles, with the follicles absorbing the light thanks to the pigments in them. Within a week to three weeks after your treatment, you can expect the hair to fall from the dead follicle. This treatment can be performed on the legs, back, face, chest, arms or any other part of the body where the hair is no longer wanted.
However, if you do have a tattoo, it is not safe to perform laser hair removal on this part of your body. Even if you are planning to look for someone who specializes in services that remove an unwanted tattoo, you still should not use a laser for hair removal on this area of your skin. If you do this, not only could it distort the tattoo, but it can lead to skin damage, blisters, or burns. The same laser treatment is not used for tattoo removal as it is for hair removal, so do keep this in mind.
There are many benefits associated with this type of hair treatment. Firstly, it produces much better results, as not only does it destroy the hair but it improves the appearance of painful razor bumps too. This is the best way to get the smooth skin you desire. Not only this but laser hair removal is much less painful than the likes of waxing and electrolysis. It is also much more convenient in the long run, as you can expect permanent hair loss after an average of three to seven sessions, so you will never have to worry about hair removal again.
In addition to the points that have been mentioned, the speed of this treatment is impressive, as each laser pulse can treat numerous hairs at the same time and they only take a fraction of a second to work. This means that small areas can be treated in less than a minute, such as the upper lip area. Not only this, but the precision of laser hair removal is impressive, as the lasers can selectively target the coarse and dark hairs while ensuring the skin around this does not get damaged.
It is not hard to see why laser hair removal has become so popular.
