You work hard for your money and your beauty budget can only stretch so far! Get the most out of your budget by getting Laser Hair Removal!
What Is Laser Hair Removal and Where Did It Come From?
Laser Hair Removal is a PERMANENT hair reduction treatment using a laser to remove unwanted hair. The history of Laser Hair Removal surprisingly dates back longer than one would expect. In May of 1960, the laser was invented by Theodore Maiman, and began being used by researchers to remove unwanted hair in the mid-1960s. Wow! Over 50 years of Laser Hair Removal!
The FDA approved hair removal lasers in 1997, allowing for them to be used by licensed health professionals, ever changing the way we approach hair removal. Although the initial (synthetic ruby) lasers were slow, inefficient and could only be used on people with very light skin and very dark hair, they paved the way for the growth in technology resulting in the lasers we use today!
The Nd:YAG Laser was developed in the mid 1960’s for medical use. This laser is one of the most widely used hair removal lasers, specializing in darker skin tones. It has a wavelength that is much longer than other hair removal lasers, allowing it to more deeply penetrate the skin, protecting the skin’s surface. This is the safest laser to use for dark skin.
Initially developed in the mid 1970’s for military and government use, the Alexandrite (Alex) Lasers were created in the goal to develop a safer, better laser made with high quality materials. This laser is also one of the most used hair removal lasers, however, unlike the Nd:YAG, it specializes in lighter skin tones. The laser absorbs greater amounts of pigment than other lasers, which is a benefit when removing hair on lighter skin, but makes it harmful for darker skin tones.
The Latest In Laser Hair Removal Services!
The Nd:YAG and Alex Lasers have continued to be the best lasers in the market. In addition to these recently the Cynosure Apogee Elite has been developed. Flexible enough to work on any skin type, on any area of your body, no matter how delicate your skin may be!
How Does It Work?
When undergoing treatment, a pulse of laser energy passes through the skin down to the hair follicle, where its energy converts to heat, which is then absorbed by the follicle – eliminating future growth.
Depending on the laser, many can treat a large amount of follicles at a time.
6-12 treatments are necessary to remove 70-90% of the unwanted hair. The amount of treatments vary, depending on the area of your body, thickness of hair, and hair growth cycle. You should wait 4-6 weeks between treatments. This will allow for the highest chance of eliminating the most hair follicles while they are in their active phase of growth. If treatments are performed closer together, the hair will not have enough time to grow, which will not allow the laser to treat them properly.
Three Simple Tips To Get The MOST Out Of Your Laser Hair Removal Beauty Budget:
# 1: Laser Hair Removal Is Successful When 70-90% Reduction Is Achieved. Once You Have Achieved That Rate Of Success On Any Area – Move On!
We must be realistic about our outcomes! You may only achieve 70% reduction after your treatment sessions have been completed, however, you will be wasting your money by continuing on and expecting higher results. A 70% reduction in permanent hair removal is astounding, prepare to move on!
# 2: Be Sure To Keep The Area Out Of The Sun!
The darker your skin is, the lower the setting of the laser needs to be to treat you safely so that you will not burn. This affects results! Keep the area out of the sun at least two weeks before your first treatment and in between treatments.
# 3: Know Your Laser!
Not all lasers are created equal! Be sure that you are being treated by the best lasers out there. This needs to be a Nd:YAG if you have darker skin or an Alex if you have lighter skin. This can also be the Cynosure Apogee Elite. If another type is being used – go somewhere else!
