See how many you are guilty of and add your score up at the end.

Below are the 10 ten biggest hair removal mistakes men and women make when getting rid of their unwanted hair.

1.Exfoliate, exfoliate, and exfoliate!!!

If you shave or wax then it will not come as a shock when I mention that dreaded word...ingrown hairs. However you can dramatically reduce the amount you get by exfoliating. Exfoliating is your best protection against ingrown hairs and by combining this with using daily body lotion you will reduce your chance of getting them quite considerably.

2.Why go to the wax salon when I can do it a home?

You pay a little visit to the wax salon and get your legs waxed. That was easy enough you think, all I have to do is buy a cheap pack of wax strips from the supermarket, apply it to my legs, cover with the fabric and pull. However if done incorrectly you can end up with big bruises on your legs.

It is important to note that when waxing the skin should be pulled taut in the opposite direction that the wax strip is being ripped off to prevent your legs from changing to a dark bluely, black colour unless that is the look you are aiming for?

Why do we need it?

Laser hair removal is a popular technique which many thousands of people across the world decide to invest in. The reason for this is that many people wish to get rid of unwanted or unsightly body hair, and traditional methods such as shaving, waxing and plucking simply do not cut it in the long term.

Everybody knows that the more you shave your hair, the quicker, stronger and thicker it grows back. This makes body hair an ongoing issue for many people across the world, including both men and women.

When did it begin?

When laser hair removal was invented, some people were sceptical. Some people thought that it would be unsafe but the FDA cleared the first laser for hair removal in 1995. The traditional machines that were used and the technology that was part of the light treatment was only available to people with light skin tones. This is because the laser beam itself could only differentiate between what was hair and skin by the light and dark of both elements. It would target the dark hair from the light skin so in order to be truly effective lighter skin tones were the only ones treated.

How did it develop?

However, as advances in laser and light-based technology improved, various different skin types could also be treated with the laser. This included ethnic skin tones as well as darker skinned individuals. For these people, the laser would need longer wavelengths and pulse widths in order to treat the hair and technology began to include this.

What can you expect now?

Nowadays, it is important that if you have darker skin, you are not put off by the idea that the laser might not be able to treat your particular ethnicity. This is now a common myth associated with laser hair removal. Many different clinics will be able to treat different kinds of skin tones now, but it is important to go for a full consultation to see what your chances of success with the laser hair removal machine actually are.

Visiting the clinic:

In the consultation, you will be asked about whether you have any issues with your skin, whether you have any skin infections, or whether you have any tattoos. The technician will compile a file which will evaluate your effectiveness with the laser machine and your expectations. For example, you might want a small area treated or you might want a very large area of skin treated.

Experts developed the Fitzpatrick skin typing scale as one way to classify different skin colours and how they react to UV light. The skin tones are divided into types 1 to 6, which gives technicians and professionals the ability to determine the best technique required for that specific client with their particular skin tones. This also allows the clinic to provide a safe and effective treatment for the client.

The Fitzpatrick skin typing scale:

1	Very White or Freckled	Always Burns/Never Tans
2	White	Usually Burns/Sometimes Tans
3	White to Olive	Sometimes Burns/Always Tans
4	Brown	Rarely Burns
5	Dark Brown	Very Rarely Burns/Moderately Pigmented
6	Black	Highly Pigmented

One clinic which has vast experience in treating people with darker skin is the premier laser clinic. The premier laser clinic has special technologies, including the GentleYAG laser system, which is perfect for treating people with darker skin.

Laser hair removal treatment is fast becoming the most effective method of hair removal across the world. The unique aspect of laser hair removal is the fact that after around six or eight sessions under the laser, you can be virtually hair free. This is a treatment perfect for both men and women and all over 18.

However, there are some general myths about laser hair removal which many people listen to. This might make people reluctant to invest in the treatment.

Here, we crack down on some of the most popular myths and put the record straight:

Myth 1: Laser hair removal is a painful process

Many people believe that laser hair removal is a painful and uncomfortable process. Actually, the truth is that many people say that the feeling of the laser on your skin is just like the feeling of an elastic band snapping against your skin. It is not necessarily painful, and many people do not feel anything at all. For those people who are extra sensitive, the technician will put an anesthetic cream on the area before they start the laser process. They may also apply ice to the area before or after the laser. This will give the patient the most comfortable treatment possible.

Myth 2: People with dark hair and dark skin cannot be treated with laser hair removal

Traditionally, people with dark hair and dark skin would not be able to be treated with laser hair removal. This is because the laser differentiates between skin and hair – and light and dark. This means that if the hair and the skin are both dark, the possibility of burning the skin might occur.

However, with modern technology constantly evolving, this is no longer the case. There are certain systems like the GentleYAG laser system which is designed to work with darker skin. Of course, it is best to check with your laser hair removal clinic about your particular hair type so that you can have a full and comprehensive consultation.

Myth 3: Laser hair removal is not safe

The technique is safe. Within the process of laser hair removal, the laser will focus on the hair follicle itself, which means that the surrounding skin is left unharmed. The laser hair removal treatment has been performed successfully on many thousands of people across the world. Also, a lot of research has been conducted into the technique and has proved that there are no long-term side-effects from the process.

Myth 4: Laser hair removal is an expensive treatment to invest in

Many people see laser hair removal as an investment in the body. Think of all of the savings that you will make over the many years of not having to buy razors, shavers and waxing strips. Also, laser hair removal is getting more cost-effective each year. Traditionally it was quite expensive, but now clinics are making it more affordable and even offer some value for money packages.

Introduction

Laser hair removal is the modern way to achieve perfectly smooth skin. After years of shaving, waxing and using hair removal creams in a futile attempt to remove your unwanted hair, or at least on a long term basis anyway, are you fed up with seeing no results. The archaic hair removal methods of yesterday just don’t cut it in the modern none stop society in which we reside in. After all, shaving and waxing may win us the battle but our hairs are ultimately winning the war – Until now…welcome laser Hair Removal.

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair using a laser. There are many types of lasers which can be used to remove hair depending on varying factors such as your skin type but we will get to this later on.

A Brief History

Don’t panic this isn’t going to be a history lesson, however I always feel a bit of background knowledge is a great way to set the stage and provide a greater understanding.

Truth be told laser hair removal, or the concept behind it, isn’t as futuristic as you may think. There are 5 key time periods that were crucial to the development of the laser hair removal you see and use today.

1960:

In the 1960s the first lasers which were known as wave 1 lasers and emitted a continuous wave a light. This continuous beam however rendered wave 1 laser s useless as the beam could not be controlled which caused too much of a risk to the skin being permanently damaged.

 

1970s:

In the 1970s came the wave 2 lasers. These lasers where a vast improvement to the ones seen a decade earlier allowing for targeting of individual hair follicles by sending a beam of energy via a fiber optic probe. The wave 2 laser were not sent off for testing and as a result was pulled by the FDA as it was difficult to use and ineffective for its claims.

1980s:

In 1980s the wave 3 lasers were created. These laser were not much of a advancement from the previous and although they did offer improved targeting then the wave 2 lasers they were still tedious and ineffective for laser hair removal which saw them being removed from the market.

1990s: 

1990 is where laser hair removal started to take its current form in the form of the wave 4 laser which was finally cleared by the FDA for official use. The lasers used a carbon based lotion as a chromophore (what the laser targets). The laser heated up the carbon which would release a kind of shock wave to the hair follicle destroying it in the process. The only problem with the wave 4 laser is that it could also cause damage to surrounding cells and tissue.

1997:

In 1997 the wave 5 laser was introduced. The wave 5 laser targeted melanin in the hair and was cleared by the FDA. Being easy to use and having a cooling system built in it greatly increase the safety and effectiveness. Wave 5 lasers are used all round the world today and are currently the latest in laser hair removal technology.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

It would make sense that we start from the beginning, as in order to understand how laser hair removal works it is necessary that you first have a basic understanding of hair. A single hair is composed of a shaft – this is the hair which is visible on the surface of the skin and the root which lies beneath. Located at the base of the root is the hair follicle, this follicle is a mammalian skin organ that produces our hair. The production of hair happens in three stages which include the growth stage (anagen), cessation stage (catagen) and the rest stage (telogen). At the end of the growth stage the hair naturally falls out meaning that at anyone stage hairs are being created, being shed and then being replaced by the hair follicle. An important note to make here is that the hairs on the human body are not synchronised to the same growth schedule meaning that each hair is different and while one may be being created another is being shed.

Laser Hair Removal Using Candela GentleLASE System:

The Kryptonite Of Hair

The key principal behind Laser Hair Removal is SPTL (selective photothermolysis). This sounds kind of complicated and well to be honest it is but basically put it’s the matching of a precise wavelength of light and pulse interval to achieve the optimal effect on the targeted tissue, without causing any surrounding damage to any nearby neighbouring tissue.

We all have our weakness and until now our hairs were a razor blade and wax strips. However because hair has regenerative capabilities so to speak these methods only provided temporary solutions. As many of you reading this know you can spend a long time in the morning in the shower removing your hair only to see it re-appear days later. I know it’s annoying!! However it was only a matter of time before we found hair’s kryptonite…melanin. Melanin gives hair its colour, there are two types named Eumelanin that gives hair a brown or black colour and pheomelanin which gives blonde and red hair.

A highly concentrated laser is aimed at the hair which is absorbed by the melanin in the skin. The energy then heats up the hair safely which subsequently damages the follicle (which creates hair), hindering the future growth without harming and damaging skin in the surround area.

Who Is A Right Candidate?

As you will have noticed if you wear a black t-shirt on a sunny day you will feel hotter than if you had worn a white t-shirt. What has any of this got to do with laser hair removal? Trust me and keep reading it will all become a lot clearer. The lighter the colour the less amount of visible light being absorbed and converted to heat. Laser hair removal systems have taken the t-shirt concept and have applied it to melanin.

Since dark colours (black) convert a higher percentage of light into heat this means that people who have Eumelanin, which if we remember gives that individual dark coloured hair, are better candidates for laser hair removal as more heat is produced which increase the chance of the hair follicle being safely destroyed.

 

 

Skin Type

Varying skin types will provide different results:

Light Skin:

When it comes to laser hair removal if you have light skin you are a good candidate. Usually if an individual has light skin they require less treatments then someone with darker skin.

Medium Skin:

People with medium skin can still be good candidates, however speaking generally the persons hair has a larger role to play. If you have a medium skin tone then more likely then not you will need more treatments then someone with light coloured skin.

Dark Skin:

Previously if you had dark skin then you would have been told that this particular treatment wouldn’t work for you…however with the ever increasing improvements in the laser hair removal industry there are now lasers for dark skin types too.

Hair Type

Like skin type, your hair type also plays an important role in determining if you are a suitable candidate.

Dark Hair:

As discussed earlier on anyone with dark hair (black/brown) is going to be a good candidate as the dark hair contains more pigmentation, allowing the laser beam to be absorbed to a larger degree.

Medium Hair:

Medium hair usually covers people that have brown hair (on the lighter side). Just as with the medium skin, a medium hair colour is still treatable but will most likely require more treatments than someone with dark hair.

Light Hair:

Light hair is the hardest to treat– this is because those with light coloured hair such as blonde or red have phemelianin pigment which is less proficient at absorbing the laser light.

Note: Since white or grey air does not contain any pigment it is near impossible to treat people with these hair colours.

How Many Sessions Will I Need

The average course is between 4 to 8 treatments due to the lifecycle of the human hair (3 different stages mentioned above). Laser hair removal only works in the anagen phase (aka active growth stage) and as 90% of follicles will be in this stage at any one time, a full course of treatments are needed to make sure that all the follicles have been destroyed hindering future growth.

 What Is The Waiting Time Between Treatments?

Once you have completed a treatment it is usually around 2 weeks before the treated hairs shed from the skin. After this the re-growth normally starts to occur 4 weeks later so usually you will have your following treatment every 6 weeks. However this can vary depending on the targeted treatment area.

Treatment Areas

Image of top 5 laser hair removal areas:

 

Top 5 areas for women include:

1. Upper Lip

2. Under Arms

3. Bikini Line

4. Stomach

5. Legs

Top 5 areas for men include:

1. Sideburns

2. Back

3. Stomach

4. Arms

5. Buttocks

 Is It Permanent? 

Laser hair removal is known as a hair reduction solution. Even though some people who have the treatments have seen permanent results, generally speaking it reduces the amount of hairs that can grow in any given area. Don’t be fooled by the word reduction however as you can generally expect to see a 75% – 95% hair removal. Obviously this will depend on varying factors such as your hair and skin type as well other factors we will discuss further on.

 

Preparation

There are a few things that you should do to prepare before your treatment. Firstly and most importantly you should have had a consultation with a dermatologist to understand the laser hair removal process. This consultation will include topics such as how the procedure works, are there any side effects and whether or not you would be a good candidate depending on your hair and skin colour.

Patch Test:

Before you start your full course of treatments you should get a patch test done in the area you want your laser hair removal – this is very important as it will determine the intensity of the laser energy that will be required to achieve optimum results as well as revealing any side effects or problems that could arise from the treatment. You would rather a problem occur on the patch test as only a small area will be affected rather than undergoing a full treatment. Basically the main aim of patch test then is to fine tune the laser to yourself and to reveal if any, any side effects or problems that may occur with the treatment – this will minimise any chance of any side effects occurring and maximise the effectiveness of your results.

Avoid Sun beds And Tanning: 

The skin should be kept as natural as possible. It is usually recommended that tanning should be avoided for around a month to six weeks prior to treatment. Also the same goes for any fake tan sprays and creams – these need time to completely fade before your treatment.

 

No Waxing, Plucking and Tweezing:

Because the hair is required to be in the follicle you should not wax, pluck, tweeze and thread for around 3-4 weeks prior to treatment. However the exception to this rule is if you are having laser hair removal on your face as hair on the facial area grows back at a faster rate – normally avoid the above techniques for a minimum of 2 weeks before. If you require removing your hair shaving is permitted as this method keeps the hair and follicle intact.

Also in addition to the above you should refrain from bleaching your hair.

Prepare The Skin:

The skin should be cleansed from any creams, lotions and cosmetics.

Post Treatment / Aftercare

After care is just as important as preparing for laser hair removal. To make sure that you achieve the best results you should follow these post treatment guidelines.

Immediately After:

Immediately after your treatment you will most likely experience redness and bumping of the skin. This usually lasts for around 2-3 hours after the treatment however depending on your skin type if you have sensitive skin it can take or day or two for this to subside. If you experience any discomfort you can apply a cold compress to the area, also some after sun treatments can be used however make sure to ask your clinician before you apply.

Avoid Sun Exposure:

You should avoid spending too much time in the sun after treatments. Sun cream should be used at all times throughout the course of the treatments using a SPF 25 or higher.

Don’t Irritate The Treated Area:

Do not irritate the treated area by scratching or picking at the affected area.

 

Bathing and Showering: 

You cannot have a bath or a shower during your treatments…only joking. You may continue to wash yourself however the treated area should only be washed with a mild soap. Avoid scrubbing and make sure to dry yourself through the process of patting and not rubbing when drying yourself with a towel.

It is important to mention that anywhere from between 5 to around 30 days after your treatment you may see shedding of the hair. Some people understandably mistake this for new growth – you can help remove this hair by washing very gently with a washcloth.

Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?

This is one of the most common questions that surrounds laser hair removal. Many people have the treatment done without the need for anaesthetic however to reduce any chance of pain an anaesthetic cream can be applied to the area before hand to numb the treatment area immediately.

Most modern laser hair removal devices also have inbuilt cooling systems which also help to reduce any pain that may be felt.

Because pain tolerance varies between each individual some people will feel some pain whilst others will hardly feel a thing. Most people that do feel pain describe it as feeling like an elastic band being snapped across the skin.

Side Effects

Laser hair removal is FDA approved and is generally a safe procedure when carried out by a fully qualified and experienced laser hair clinician. Some of the side effects can include:

Normal Side Effects:

These side effects are normal and are experienced by the majority of people that get the laser hair removal treatment.

• Redness of the skin

• Tingling

• Numbness

• Itching

Temporary Side Effects:

As the title suggests these side effects are temporary and can appear and disappear within a short period of time.

• Redness of the skin

• Slight Swelling

• Skin Blistering (chances of this happening with modern laser hair removal systems that have inbuilt cooling systems is rare.

• Hypo-Pigmentation – This again is quite rare – mainly seen on people that have dark skin

Herpes and Abnormal Scarring:

Anyone who carries herpes could see an outbreak with laser hair removal. This can usually be solved by antiviral medication being administered beforehand. Also anyone who has a history of abnormal scarring should speak to the clinician beforehand. If you are a carrier of herpes or have a history of abnormal scarring you should speak to your local GP before deciding on getting laser hair removal just to make sure the treatment will be safe for yourself.

Diet 

Why should what you eat have an effect on laser hair removal? Well generally it doesn’t, however Beta Carotene can interfere with the treatment.

Beta Carotene is a group of natural chemicals that is known as carotenes or carotenoids. You have probably heard the word carotene before and know that it is responsible for the orange colour found in vegetables and fruit such as carrots.

Some example foods that contain Beta Carotene include carrots, squash, broccoli, lettuce and sweet potatoes.

Because Beta Carotene is deposited in the skin, it produces a slight yellow/orangey colour to your skin. This absorbs the laser energy which in effect stops it from reaching the hair follicle. Because Beta Carotene remains in the body for months after it is eaten it is recommended that anyone wanting to have laser hair removal should limit the amount of Beta Carotene they ingest.

The London Premier Laser clinic uses the latest, state of the art laser technology. The system we use is called Candela GentleLASE. The Candela GentleLASE is great for laser hair removal but can also be used to treat other medical conditions.

Men have finally discovered laser hair removal!.

Better late then never we say!

According to a survey conducted by Readers Digest the average man person spends around 3,000 hours shaving in their lifetime.

Let’s say that the average human lives to a nice ripe old age of 80 years, so if we average this out it means we spend around 37.5 hours a year shaving.

Now obviously we don’t start shaving till at least around 16 years of age so taking this into consideration we actually spend around 47 hours removing our hair from our bodies.

That’s just less than two full days of straight shaving…wow!!

Laser hair removal is a process where lasers are used to remove hair, although this process is not permanent it dramatically reduces the amount of hair that grows. This seemingly futuristic treatment that uses laser beams to remove hair works by heating up the follicles that lie beneath the skin.

The pulses of energy are absorbed by the melanin or pigment in the hair which heats it right down to the root, safely destroying it without damaging surrounding tissue or skin.

5 Most Common Areas for men compared to women

Initially preferred by women, laser hair removal is now used by both sexes. The 5 common areas of laser hair removal for women and men are
as follows:

Women

1. Upper Lip
2. Under Arms
3. Stomach
4. Bikini Line
5. Legs

Men

1. Sideburns
2. Back
3. Stomach
4. Arms
5. Buttocks & Perianal

Am I A Suitable Candidate?

Unfortunately laser hair removal is not as effective on everyone.

So how do you know if you are a suitable candidate?

Well generally speaking because the laser targets the pigment, the laser is not as effective on white, grey or red hair. Anyone who suffers from conditions such as keloid Also laser hair removal cannot be performed over any kind of tattoos or permanent make-up.

Finally although the treatment is safe it is recommended that pregnant women wait till after their postpartum check up before proceeding.

How Many Sessions Are Needed for men?

Most people will require a course of around 4 and 8 treatments. The reason for this being that hair grows in 3 different stages. Laser hair removal can only target hair that is in the anagen stage (active growth stage). At any one time 90% of follicles will be in this stage, so a course of treatment is needed to make sure that all follicles are destroyed so they will not produce more hair.

Does It Hurt?

This really is a hard question to answer. Since pain tolerance differs for each person it is relative to that individual. However while some people say they feel no to next to no pain other describe the sensation as feeling like a elastic band being snapped on their skin. Nowadays the latest clinics have inbuilt cooling devices that help ease any pain and the ones that don’t can provide aesthetic gel that numbs the treatment area.

Are There Any Side Effects?

The most common side effects experienced include slight swelling and redness of the skin – these are only short term and usually subside within a few hours. However anyone with really sensitive skin may have to wait a few days before the redness completely disappears.

What should I Do Before My Treatment?

Before you have laser hair removal it is important that you try and keep the skin as natural as possible. In preparation you should try and avoid:

• Over Sun Exposure
• Sun Beds
• Tanning Products
• Also if you are taking tablets for acne such as Roaccutane, which must be discontinued prior to treatment.

Mens After Care

After care is just as important as preparing your skin prior to your treatment.  You should try and avoid the following after having laser hair removal:

• Heat stimulation – this includes hot baths,
  saunas and steam.
• Cardiovascular exercise
• Swimming (chemicals in the water can cause
  irritation)
• Products such as perfume, body lotions,aftershave and make-up.

How many of you shave your facial hair, underarms, legs or even downstairs on a daily basis? Many people are tired of having to shave constantly everyday for the rest of their lives but do nothing about it. There is a myth that laser hair removal is very expensive and can only be afforded by the stars and the wealthy but this could not be further from the truth. Recent figures from RealSelf.com reveal that the average price of a laser hair removal session is around £1,066.

“According to data from RealSelf.com, the average cost of a laser hair removal session is $1,659 (£1,066), with prices ranging from $500 to $2,000.”

The article goes on to say…

“The cost depends on numerous factors, such as the experience of the individual administering the procedure, the location of the treatment centre and the size of the area being treated.

 However, taking all this into account – including the fact the average patient will have seven or more sessions – it seems laser hair removal works out cheaper than shaving.

 Writing for female advice site Divine Caroline, Nicki Zevola pointed out that if a woman starts shaving when she is 15 years old and carries on until she reaches the average life expectancy of 78, she will have been shaving for 63 years.

 This means the cost of buying new razors, replacement blades and shaving cream soon adds up and could end up being considerably more over a lifetime than the price of laser hair removal.”

For many in the short term the cost of the laser hair removal treatment may seem a little expensive but in the long run it could save you a lot of money. Why not wait till your local laser hair removal clinic is running a special offer or look online to find deals and vouchers which will help you save even further?  Not only is the treatment cost effective but also saves you valuable time. Women spend on average around 20 to 30 minutes a day having a shower and a shave but this time could be put to better use.

Laser hair removal is a simple procedure which requires a series of treatments. The concentrated beam of light which is aimed at the hair is absorbed by the pigment and in effect damages the hair follicle –stopping the hair from growing. The treatment is virtually pain free with some people referring to the sensation felt as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin.

If you have an ingrown hair, then it can be frustrating for many people but also potentially dangerous for other people.

Ingrown hairs can seem trivial to many, but some people have actually been hospitalised because of serious infection of bacteria has occurred due to the ingrown hair. This means that parts of the body tissue need to be removed because of the infection. An ingrown hair can occur anywhere on the body and in both men and women.

If your ingrown hair is on your face, it can be particularly distressing. However, you no longer need to suffer in silence. Laser hair removal can now be used to treat ingrown hairs. Laser hair removal is an innovative technology that uses very fine lasers to beam a high concentrated light into the skin, which can remove hair at its root.

This is a very quick procedure and for many people, they feel no pain or discomfort at all. Some people report that it feels like an elastic band snapping against the skin, and no more.

Because the light is attracted to dark pigment in the hair, the light will be attracted to the ingrown hair which means that it can target it and eradicate it. Even though the hair is trapped under the skin, it can still reach the hair. The light is then able to burn the hair and remove it so that it no longer causes any infection or irritation. Many female clients like to have this procedure in order to get a smooth bikini line.

It only takes a few treatments to get rid of ingrown hairs so this makes it an ideal treatment for anybody who does not have a lot of money to keep spending on constant shaving or waxing, which never gets rid of the ingrown hair problem anyway.

You can have laser hair removal at any time of the year that you would like, but many laser hair removal clinics recommend that you have laser hair removal on your ingrown hair during the winter months, so that you can be ready for the summer months. Laser hair removal sometimes takes a few sessions over various months, so this would make this an ideal time to get your treatment.

To prepare for the treatment, the client should not have recently been in the sun or have a fake tan. This is because the laser will not be able to distinguish between what is skin and what is hair if the skin is too dark; this means that you should avoid sun beds before the treatment.

If you have any concerns about your ingrown hair, you should contact a reputable and professional laser hair removal clinic you will be able to give you honest and free advice.

If you’re thinking about changing your style or improving your overall look, what better time to do it then when summer is approaching? Whether you have body confidence issues or you simply would like a change, there are many things you can do to improve the way that you feel this summer.

The first thing you can do is change your hairstyle. You’d be surprised to know that many people who need a quick pick me up will actually go and get their hair cut and styled because this can make you feel a lot better instantly. Perhaps you could also change the colour of your hair and make sure that you use a proper hairdressers as they are able to advise on a hairstyle to match your skin tone and your face shape.

Another thing that you want to do is get a tan. Spray tans and fake tans are always much safer than real tans, so why not go in to spray booth where you can privately strip down to your desired level and be sprayed with a tan of your choice. There are various levels to choose from like a light tan, medium glow or a heavy tan. You can find these in most beauty salons.

Another way that you can give your body a treat this summer is by investing in a more permanent way of removing hair. Currently, you probably shave or wax off unwanted body hair from your body. This is a time-consuming process that you probably spend too much time on each week. In the summer it can be particularly time-consuming because you probably want to remove hair more often.

By investing in something like hair laser removal treatment, you can be sure that your hair will kept at bay for far longer than any other hair removal treatment on the market. Laser hair removal is very safe and reliable. After just a few sessions, you will notice a big difference on the amount of hair on your body. The laser hair removal treatment is not painful and works by beaming a high concentrated beam of laser into the skin to eradicate the hair follicle at its root. This is a great option for anybody who was to remove her on the legs, armpits, arm, back or face. Men and women can both get laser hair removal as well.

Women have known about laser hair removal treatments for a number of years now, and know all the benefits of using this method for hair removal. But now modern men are taking a bit more care of their appearance and hair removal has become part at their grooming routine. Men are now also beginning to realise that laser hair removal is one of the most reliable and effective ways of removing unwanted hair.

If you are a man who already removes unwanted hair you have probably tried the shaving and waxing methods, there are also many creams that can be used but these often have an unpleasant smell.  Although these methods work, the hair does grow back quite quickly and usually grows back coarsely too.
