Removing Hair By Laser Method

By Albert Arce


It can be a drag to get rid of unwanted body hair. Hair removal means that are commonly done are tedious work and they don't even last for long. It is quite painful and even messy to wax, but the result can last from several days to a couple of weeks. Shaving, meanwhile, only lasts for a few hours before the hair begins to grow back. As for plucking the hair, it's just too much work. It can even inflame the skin and cause chicken skin spot, or the condition when the skin becomes inflamed and bumpy. Maybe you'd want to try laser hair removal if you're not happy with these means.

Laser hair removal has acquired quite a following in the cosmetic industry in the recent years. It's a popular hair removal technique simply because it produces long-lasting results. The process is considered safe and only takes a few seconds. It can also cover almost all face and body areas, including the chest and back, legs, and armpits.

What precisely is laser hair removal and how does it work? Laser hair removal, simply put, makes use of highly concentrated light and emits it into the hair follicles to eradicate them. Using selective photothermolysis (SPTL), which matches specific wavelength of light and pulse duration, it concentrates the effect on its target and avoids causing harm on the proximate tissues. The dark objects in the skin, namely the hair follicles, absorb the laser energy, leaving the lighter hued skin unharmed.

It may not work well on some people, though. The best combination for this kind of hair removal technique is dark hair and light skin. It's not ideal for patients with light, white, or grey hair, or those with really dark skin tone. Patients may also feel minor pain during the procedure. The sting is akin to the sharp snap of a rubber band on the skin, though it still depends on the kind of machine used and the sensitivity level of the patient. It's tolerable, but it can cause temporary soreness around the area. A simple application of topical gel can cure the soreness.

It is falsely claimed that hair removal gets rid of hair permanently. Rather, it's a very effective hair reduction method. Hair can still grow back some time after the last treatment, but its total number can be permanently reduced following several sessions.

The procedure can be done in informal settings, such as shopping mall spas and clinics, but it must be performed by a certified professional. Have your laser hair removal done in a reputable clinic in Singapore. Most aesthetic clinics in Singapore also offer other aesthetic and medical treatments, like remove pigmentation marks from the face and other body areas and Zeltiq Singapore slimming procedures.
