Article Source: HealthSnare.com
It is common practise that women maintain hair-free skin, because it makes them look and feel more attractive. However, more and more men are opting in on hair removal treatments to provide them with a permanent solution to hair reduction.
There are various different options available for hair removal; the most common for both men and women is to shave with a razor.
Other popular options include a salon waxing; this may be full leg, half leg, full body, face, eyebrows, back and bikini line. Although this is an extremely effective method, the results may last only a couple of weeks.
High street stores also sell home waxing kits that involve wax strips or pots of wax you heat yourself.
There are also many different hair removal creams available on the high street which are simple and easy to use, but may not cater for you if you have sensitive skin.
Although temporarily effective, these options do not provide a permanent solution to hair removal. It may not be that these options are convenient any more, or do not fit around a busy lifestyle.
Laser hair removal is becoming an increasingly popular method. Those who feel they have coarse or dark hair, or maybe ‘problem areas' in which they want the hair significantly reduced, are seeking laser hair removal to solve their hair problems.
Laser hair removal is a gentle and rapid way of almost permanently removing unwanted hair at an affordable price.
It works by using a laser on the skin that produces pulsed beams of light that are highly concentrated and absorbed by the pigment located in the hair follicles. The laser permanently damages the surrounding follicles stopping most hair from growing back.
How long will it be after the treatment until results begin to show?
At around 3-10 days after treatment it may seem as though the hair is growing back, but most of these hairs are dead, they are shedding and not growing.
The next stage will be at around 14-25 days after laser hair removal treatment; hairs will gradually fall out and will continue over a period of 6 weeks.
After 6 treatments, 85%-95% of the hairs will have been removed; if hair does grow back it will be significantly reduced.
Where can I have laser hair removal?
The most common areas for laser hair removal in women are the face, neck, underarms, bikini line , arms, legs and nipples.
However it is not only women that find they have problems with hair, it is becoming increasingly popular for men to seek laser hair removal.
Men should not be discouraged in seeking treatment, as it has become more and more common for men to want to rid their body of excess hair.
The most common areas for laser hair removal in men are the face, neck, back, ears and chest.
There is a pool of pictures widely available through the internet of results of laser hair surgery showing dramatically reduced hair and showing excellent results.
