With summer heating up it is time to look at options that will
keep your skin smooth and silky. Which is why everyone is wondering
about laser hair removal and whether it really is permanent. The
truth about laser hair removal is that it really is permanent. This is
due to the way in which the process is designed. The laser will send
pulses down the hair follicle. Over time the hair follicle will die.
This means that it will no longer be able to produce any hair, hence why
it is a permanent process. What most people do not know, however, is
that this does not happen overnight. You cannot walk into a clinic and
get all of the unwanted hair you have removed in one session. The number
of sessions that you will need in order to remove the hair forever will
depend on the type of hair you have. Coarse, thick and darker hair will
take longer to remove than lighter, thin hair. It is recommended that
the average person should have a minimum of 5 sessions to begin with.
Also, the amount of time it will take in total, will be determined by
the size of the area. Smaller areas will obviously take less time than
the bigger areas.
Now that you understand how the process works,
you will want the second most popular question answered; does it hurt?
Everyone has a misconception that laser services hurt. The truth of the
matter is that they are virtually pain free. In fact your will
experience far more pain by going and getting a wax than you would from
attending a laser treatment. Most people have likened the sensation to
that of a small pin prick, or even a tickle. Obviously, some areas on
the body may be more sensitive than others, but it is still a far less
painful process than the usual ones that are used to remove hair.
Another
fact that you may not know is that laser hair removal is not only for
women. Many men are starting to get their unwanted hair removed too. In
this day and age it is far more acceptable for men to be more in control
of their grooming. In fact most women prefer a man who is well
maintained. Laser hair removal is also useful for men and women that
work in the sporting industries. Swimmers and cyclists prefer to have
smoother skin for aerodynamic purposes, and many cyclists (including the
men) shave their legs to achieve this. Now they can remove the hair
permanently by simply undergoing some sessions.
