One of the major debated and experimented topics has been the search
for permanent hair removal. The most common misconception is that
hair removal can be permanent using laser therapy. Here permanent is
just a relative word it can mean some thing between a few weeks to a
year but not for eternity. However although with repeated sessions
of laser therapy the diameter and frequency of hair decreases with
time.
Process: In this method a
laser beam of particular wavelength is made to fall on a particular
part of the body where the hair loss has to occur. The laser Targets
the pigment in the hair and causes damage to the hair follicle while
sparing the surrounding tissue. This method is normally considered
as safe if it is properly executed and that too under the guidance
of a specialist. The hair might grow back within six months but it
is far much lighter in color and finer in texture.
The first thing that you have to ask yourself is that whether the
hair removal technique suits you. The most important requirement is
that one's hair must be darker than the surrounding skin. Some
darkly pigmented people absorbs too much energy in there skin hence
it is not suitable for them. Even tanned people with light hair are
not potential candidates. Also laser treatment comes with a price
tag. Though it is less expensive than electrolysis but it requires
multiple treatments which adds up you bills to about $1000
However treatment varies with the size of the area to be treated.
Normally most laser therapy centers charge around 500$ per session.
Normally treatment lasts for around four sessions. Large areas, such
as the whole back, or the entire legs, is considerably expensive
than this. Small areas, such as the upper lip, can be less.
Risk Factors: Laser therapy does
not come without baggage. Some of the potential problems that might
come with laser therapy if not done properly include:
1. Blistering
2. Scarring
3. Changes of the skin texture
4. Crusting
5. Scrabbing
6. Hair changes.
