There are various things that you should consider before opting for laser hair removal as a permanent method of hair removal.

The first is your budget. You should consider laser hair removal as an investment in your body. This is because you will never have to buy shavers, razors, or wax strips again. The initial one off cost will be regained within a short period of time. If money is an issue, you may want to consider treating one small area of your body at a time.

The second thing that you should consider is where you decided to have your treatment. You should always opt for a qualified, experienced and professional technician who you can talk to about your requirements. You should also visit the area where you will be having the treatment, and be sure to ask questions along the way. You should find out about the kind of laser that the clinic uses.

A final consideration is the type of hair you have as well as your skin type. This is also something which the technician should discuss with you and their expertise should help you to determine the best course of treatment. For example, If you have very pale skin and fair hair then you will need a different treatment then someone who has tanned skin and thick hair – it may be best to space out your treatments so that your skin is not exposed to too much of the laser in one go.

Again, the technician will be able to help you with all of these considerations before you agree to the treatment.

There are many options available when considering laser treatments. These have become very popular in recent years due to both their celebrity endorsements and their safe and effective results.

These methods include laser hair removal, skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, vascular vein removal, green peels, cellulite treatment, anti wrinkle, semi permanent makeup and even advanced skin peels. Four of the most popular treatments are discussed here.

Laser hair removal is the process of removing unwanted hair from your body. This is a great way for both men and women to remove hair on their chest, back, legs, arms and face. It can take place in just an hour and is virtually painless.

Skin rejuvenation is a non surgical face lift which helps to tighten and smooth skin on any area of the body, usually conducted on the face. This results in younger looking skin without the need for invasive surgery, a highly popular choice.

Microdermabrasion is a non invasive exfoliation of the skin. It is particularly valuable to those people with acne, red patches of skin or wrinkles as it can stimulate right into the skin. However, even people without skin conditions can get this treatment. Some people decide to use this as a kind of pick me up treat before a special occasion, as it can result in glowing looking skin!

Vascular vein removal is a laser treatment which anyone can use to remove unsightly veins in the skin. It stops the blood flow through the vein, which is perfectly safe, which can diminish the appearance of that vein. This laser treatment is also popular for people who are worried about their vein appearances.

 

You may think hair removal laser treatment is a daunting prospect, but many thousands of men and women have undergone the groundbreaking treatment which isn’t as scary as it first sounds.

When you arrive at the salon or clinic you will naturally feel nervous, but there is nothing to be scared of. Relax where you are told to go and then when called in, the area of skin being treated will be washed properly and prepared. You will probably be asked to wear safety goggles and you should expect others in the room to also wear these.

The laser energy source will then be turned on and prepared. Laser Hair Removal involves the beaming of a laser right into your skin, where the hair follicle starts. This will allow the follicle to die so it no longer grows. The laser is incredibly accurate and there is hardly any pain; some report it to feel like an elastic band snapping against the skin, others say they don’t feel anything but slight warmth and discomfort.

Depending on the area of skin being treated, the laser procedure might only last half an hour up to an hour. For really small areas it might only take a couple of minutes for the follicle to absorb the energy from the laser beam.

After your procedure, you might need a further course of treatment but you can usually return to normal as soon as you leave the clinic! This makes it quick, worthwhile and highly effective.

There are many different type of hair removal and you may have found yourself trying just about every method in the book. There is shaving, waxing, using an epilator, bleaching and even sugar waxing! Over the years, these methods have had varying success.

The problem with many of these methods is that they simply do not last long enough. Shaving may be a temporary success but the very next day you may find yourself needing to shave again. Waxing can last slightly longer, but can be painful to endure and DIY kits are often messy and unreliable.

Laser hair removal is not a new idea, but it is growing in popularity because of the permanent, lasting effects and benefits. After a short course of laser hair removal treatments, your hair can be removed from its root. This means no re-growth and no unsightly chunks of hair.

Laser hair removal is therefore a more cost effective solution as there are no longer any needs to buy shavers or waxing strips. It is also very useful for the modern woman (or man!) who leads a busy life and doesn’t have time to worry about their hair removal. Treatments can last around an hour so you can even go in your lunch hour.

As mentioned above, laser hair removal is not just a woman thing. Many men have the treatment to remove hair on their back, face, chest or even arms and legs.
