Laser hair removal is the best available method for hair removal
because of the several advantages offered by this method. Laser
hair removal method scores over other methods of hair removal
for its ease of use, less time-consuming, little or no side
effects and a long lasting treatment for removing unwanted hair
from the face and the rest of the body.
A scientist who accidentally exposed his arm to 692 diode pumped
YAG for a few seconds discovered laser hair removal treatment in
late 1970's. The exposure burned off the hair but did not damage
the skin. After few weeks, the scientist noticed a bald patch on
his arm. Further research and development resulted in the birth
of a revolutionary new method to get rid off unwanted hair.
Since then, Laser Hair removal has become popular with both men
and women of all age.
Advantages of Laser Hair Removal
The relief from the age-old hair removal methods like plucking,
waxing, shaving is temporary. In the new hair removal method of
electrolysis, each hair is treated separately. This makes the
process time consuming and restricted to small areas. The
inconvenience faced in the old methods has made the Laser Hair
Removal the most popular hair removal technique. Most of the
cosmetologists prefer laser hair removal to other methods of
hair removal. Here are some advantages of Laser Hair Removal:
1. Ease of Use - Laser treatment uses the principle of light
energy absorbed by dark matter such as hair. An experienced
laser technician directs and fires a laser beam at the area of
hair growth thereby burning off the unwanted hair. Laser hair
removal method is not painful like waxing. Users have compared
it to a tingling sensation like a small pinch.
2. Less time - Unlike electrolysis that is painful and takes a
lot of time, laser hair removal is faster. With laser hair
removal process, facial hair can be removed in about 45 minutes.
Larger body parts take a longer time.
3. Few side effects - Unlike waxing or hair removing creams,
laser hair removal treatment does not cause skin irritation or
any other side effects.
4. Long Lasting - Laser hair removal treatment is long lasting
than waxing, shaving or hair removal creams which have to be
repeated every few weeks.
The wavelength required by laser to achieve efficient treatment
is in the range of 670 to 890 nanometers. The treatment includes
wearing protective eyewear. Usually, more than a single
treatment is required since hair is best removed when it is in
the active growth phase.
