2. Most men shave
their face regularly,
and nearly all have
shaved their face at
some point in their
lives.
3. One cosmetic and hygienic routine that nearly
everyone has in common is the regular
removal of hair from either the body or face.
4. Women, however,
may use various
techniques to remove
hair from the legs,
underarms, bikini
area, and the upper
lip area.
5. All of these areas of skin are sensitive which
can result in a rather painful experience to go
through regularly, even daily for some people!
6. More and more people are looking into laser
hair removal to solve the problem for once
and for all, but are shying away because of
the mixed reviews they get from those who
have tried it.
The trick is to look for special lasers or wild
not
techniques, but to seek out medical
professionals who are experts when it comes
to laser hair removal.
7. When it comes to laser hair removal San
Diego medical professionals have discovered
that the procedure must be undergone during
the anagen, or growing phase, of each
individual hair.
8. As the hairs of the body, especially those
which have been removed regularly by
shaving, waxing, chemical treatments or other
assorted methods over long periods of
time, grow back at different rates the
appearance can be that the laser treatment
did not work.
9. However, experienced
medical professionals
know that spacing out
several treatments
(about 4 to 6 weeks
apart) will catch the
greatest percentage of
hairs in the anagen
phase, thereby
destroying the greatest
quantity of hair follicles
permanently.
10. The follicle in such procedures is targeted by a
pulsating laser beam.
This light destroys the follicle by destroying the
melanin component, or that which provides
the pigmentation of the hair.
Since the melanin is darkest during the first
growth phase (the anagen phase) it is the
ideal time to perform the procedure.
11. The laser is then used to
heat up the hair and
follicle to the point of
destruction. If performed
correctly, all hairs treated
during the anagen phase
will cease to grow.
12. Through years of experience and medical
expertise, the best laser hair removal
technicians know exactly how to space
patient appointments based on their hair and
skin type to get the best possible long term
result.
13. A positive point of using such procedures is that
the residual irritation is minimal, especially
when compared to the pain and discomfort
already associated with other types of hair
removal treatments.
Some swelling or skin discoloration may
occur, and experienced technicians will know
how to test small discrete sections of the skin
for adverse reactions.
14. Just imagine, going in for laser treatments as
regularly as for a bleaching or wax for around
six months, and then never having to deal
with unwanted hair again!
