Removing Body Hair
If you want to get rid of your excess body hair, you might select laser or light based processes. The laser process is probably the best known. Light based systems have fewer handicaps compared to the laser operation.
The Laser Process
It uses a operation called selective photothermolysis to burn away the hair and the root. Damage to the skin is eradicated by means of adjusting the light wavelength to burn the hair and not the skin. The laser operation gets rid of undesirable body hair very efficiently.
Total hair removal can take a number of sessions, which need to be separated out over several weeks to minimise skin damage so if large areas of the body need to be treated, this can take some time.
For those with thin fuzzy hair or very light colored hair, laser treatment is probably not the best system.
Because of the inherent dangers of laser treatment, the procedure must only be carried out by qualified people and makes the whole thing expensive if the face and large parts of the body need to be treated..
In addition to the cost there are other disadvantages. In order to relieve the pain that can be felt as the hair is removed, numbing creams are used to comfort the patient. As these creams can bring about dangerous side effects, they are only used in reasonable quantities over small areas of the body at any one time making drawn-out treatment very time consuming.
Once the session is over, any residual soreness or swelling often disappears around days 2 to 4. Adjustments to the equipment during the process can be carried out to reduce any hyper-pigmentation or discolouring of the skin
As there are likely integral problems with laser body hair removal, it is very important that the operation is performed only by trained persons. Many people will get the cost of this treatment beyong their means apart from any other concerns that they might have.
Light based Hair Removal - the Other Alternative
Light based hair removal also uses light to get rid of body hair. The product is designed for home use hence the light frequencies and the intensity are much less than the laser technique.
Home Pulsed Light allows the skin surrounding the hair to stay cool as the Melanin in the hair shaft causes the hair to get hot. A unique acoustic effect also helps the process of photoepilation so allowing lower level of light intensity to be used.
This type of product has two main advantages over the laser arrangement, one it can be used at home and two is much less expensive than a course of laser treatment. As with laser treatment, light based hair removal systems do work so well with certain hair types, notwithstanding as there is no pain during the operation, no numbing creams are necessary.
This process can leave a little skin irritation or soreness, but this is much less than with the laser operation and goes within a day or so.
Both laser and light based systems can get rid of your undesirable body hair for all time. although it may take some time.
The time it takes for hair to develop under the skin is the reason why it takes some time to get rid of all the hair permanently. Much of the hair is in the resting phase during the 24 month growth cycle and this cannot be removed by either method. Whilst the hair growth is in what is called the resting phase, neither laser of light based processes cannot impact it. So it does not matter which method of hair removal is used, complete and permanent hair elimination may take some time.
There are many products that use the light based process but Silk n Sensepil is one of the easiest to use and gives excellent results. It can be used at home. This product has a unique feature built in called a "Skin Color Sensor" that adjusts the output to suit the individual user, notwithstanding as explained previously, complete hair removal may take countless sessions to complete.
The cost of buying waxes and creams over the years can add up to a significant amount of money, so by purchasing the Silkn scheme as a one off can be a reasonable decision.
