Types of Lasers

When it comes to hair removal, there are different types The main types of laser hair removal machines are:

Wax Your Way Out In Simple And Easy Tricks

Intense Pulse Light Hair Removal

The system is a non-coherent laser. This is not rigorously a laser, but equal to it. The IPL is more flexible than laser hair removal, as there is no wavelength. The treatment works on most skin and hair types. It doesn’t if you have blond, red or white hair. The treatment is based on your personal needs. At the same time IPL system cannot be given on sun exposed skin. It also causes damage to pigment producing cells. It results in dark patches on your skin.

Why Laser Treatment?

In Laser treatments, you need to take multiple sessions. Why? Each hair is an individual, it has a growing phase, it has a resting phase, and it has a shedding phase. The laser is a beam of light which penetrates the skin and it targets the roots. And the roots which are in the growing stage get Target. What about the roots which are in the shedding stage or in the resting stage. Nothing happens to them. So, therefore these hairs have to be treated one month later.

Now if some people do not have any hormonal problem, and they just have what we call is idiopathic excessive facial hair they would require somewhere between 10-15 sessions and especially the hair which are on the upper lip, requires a little more. If someone has a hormonal problem, like PCOs then they definitely require 15-20 sessions in between the two sessions of lasers. You can shave the hair,you can bleach the hair,but you cannot wax or thread it because the roots have to be treated next time. So, you have to leave the roots intact. The laser is not so effective on fine hair, especially these lasers were you have one or two white hair on the chin or on the sides that hair also cannot be treated by the lasers because laser requires pigmentation or melanocyte to be present in the roots. Having excessive facial hair is nothing to be ashamed about.
