Hair today Gone Tommorrow

Balding is not something anyone would look forward to. Even though we are unable to stop aging we can help ourselves when it comes to hair loss.

Our hair does get thinner as we age and more for some than others but with today's medications and creams etc we may be able to slow this down.

I have looked into many hair loss remedies and have found some that are better than others in how they say the can slow down hair loss and some even say they will help your existing hair grow more and stronger. I do not know about that but have heard of some of the good some of them do.

The Procedure Of Laser Hair Removal

By Ethan Barnes


Head hair is great and this should be thick, bountiful, and beautiful and everyone wants to have this kind of growth on their noggins but if hair grows on other parts of the body, this is a whole new story. Sad to say, you cannot control where hair grows and it can grow everywhere.

Bikini lines are areas of the body where hair can grow rampantly in women. Worrying about hairy backs is what some males do regularly. Hairless days is something that several people wish for especially those who are into all sorts of sports as smooth bodies are really beneficial here. Males and females alike may need to have unwanted hair removed at some point in their lives and this makes for a possible clientele that will find laser hair removal beneficial and so doctors are thinking about making this mainstream.

Procedures that involve the use of lasers are not always as affordable as people would like them to be and this is why one Californian practitioner is getting a lot of questions with regard to the worth of these particular treatments as people's interests continue to grow. Taking this into account, the doctor decided to create a place where clients can get the laser treatments that they need. When it comes to removing unwanted hair, there are individuals that go through the pain of electrolysis where needles are used to treat every hair follicle but when it comes to laser hair removal, the process is less painful and it is faster to complete. Usually, for those who favor electrolysis over other methods like it because of the permanent results that this can deliver and when it comes to the level of discomfort, it is not that bad according to most of these people.

When it comes to lasers, they vary in type and power but behind them, there is a certain notion that all of them share. Prior to a treatment via the YAG laser, one of the first laser varieties to be introduced, the skin needs to be waxed so that follicles will open up. When it comes to this, there is a carbon based lotion that needs to be applied prior to laser usage. In line with this, the skin will not be affected by the laser as it only passes through the carbon heating it up and destroying the follicles.

There are other kinds of lasers that can also be used to remove hair and these do not need lotion applications and they are the alexandrites and rubies. What happens in this case is that the lasers are used to target the pigment that can be found in hair and these lasers pass through skin. As the light energy travels, it turns into heat and this destroys the follicle.

In the case of hair removal via lasers, this is not something that can be done without risks especially if a person has a skin tone that is either too light or too dark because the lack or excess in pigments can cause problems like discoloration when the lasers hit the skin. Here is where lasers work by incapacitating the hair follicles for some time. Treatments, may they be with lasers or electrolysis, have to be in multiples considering the fact that regrowth is always possible when it comes to something like hair. Most of the time, laser procedures are excluded by insurance coverage and these are not that affordable.

The reason why women are not that tolerant of excessive body hair is because they see themselves in the shoes of the other sex. At a certain point in history, men and women started becoming equals and it the hair that they depend on to tell them apart. Males should be the ones who have a lot of hair. When it comes to hair, women go for its aesthetic value and if there is hair growing everywhere, the value placed on it is lost.
