There are facts about Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis Hair Removal that are often misleading, unfortunately this incorrect information is often given by many service providers in the hair removal industry.  Many of the incorrect statements being conveyed is no need for electrolysis when laser hair removal is available.

The fact is, that both Laser Hair Removal and Electrolysis Hair Removal each have their place.

Electrolysis is the only method that will effectively remove targeted hair growth mostly seen on the chin and lip areas of women.  If a laser is used on these areas where not all the hair is actively growing it could cause much more harm than good. Vellus hair, which is the superficial hair that covers mostly every inch of our body, will be singed by the laser and start the growth process.  Before any laser session the skin must be shaved to avoid burning the hair and harming the skin. By shaving this vellus hair and then applying laser, the dormant vellus hair will begin to grow and cause much more hair growth in the area being treated for removal, the dark thick targeted hairs, which are black and coarse. Electrolysis will target the terminal hairs ( thick dark hairs) that are easily seen and felt without touching the tiny, almost not visible, vellus hairs. By doing so only the individual, unwanted hairs, on the chin, lip, brows and face are targeted and guaranteed to be permanently eliminated.

If a hair removal client has full facial hair and shaves or waxes the face completely then they are a perfect candidate for laser.  Laser works best on dark hair against light skin and also full hair growth areas like bikini, under arms and legs and back. Full back hair on men respond very well to laser as every follicle has an active hair.
 
It may not be known but every square inch of skin has 6,000 hair follicles, much of which are Vellus hairs.  Electrolysis has always been the treatment for targeted permanent hair removal and should be referred by every laser center for correction.  If a laser hair removal center does not offer Electrolysis and suggests laser on these areas, the treatment will more than likely have very undesirable results in the long run and end up with much more of an unwanted hair problem.  Offering both Electrolysis and Laser Hair Removal treatments is the perfect solution to every condition of Permanent hair removal.

Pretty Face Medi Spa now offers Laser Hair Removal in motion as seen on the Doctors on CBS.  This technology is fast and much more comfortable than the standard laser and is very effective.  After six short treatments virtually all the hair is gone or reverted back to tiny unnoticeable Vellus hair.  We sell our Laser Packages in six treatments offering the last treatment complimentary.  Offering both Laser and Electrolysis continues to put Pretty Face Medi Spa as the location of choice for Permanent Hair Removal.

My gf was considering getting a Brazilian laser hair removal. The main reason she doesn’t want waxing is (obviously) the pain and she also doesn’t want people rubbing into her private parts. So I was wondering if they also peer into your private parts in laser hair removal. I also heard that laser hair removal is way less painful than waxing, but some people say that it’s not safe? How will it do for South Asians with light to moderate natural tan color (olive) skins? Will it give her burns or skin deterioration or anything or does it go away after a few hours. I went on the laser hair removal website and most of them say that am experiemced, qualified laser hair removal specialist should do any part safely. Should I ask my doctor about it? My gf wants full-body Brazilian – arms, legs, torso, bum (the center too) – except the lower pubic area near the genital; how is it? And yes I know that it’s expensive so no need to repeat that over and over again. Responses from people who’ve had Brazilian laser hair removals are very welcome.
Okay… science answer: You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have. Okay… Personal Experience: I’ve had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! It’s like being poked with a sewing needle over and over, but it’s not as painful as a tattoo, and that’s not as painful as childbirth, maybe that can put the pain in perspective for you =) I’ve had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips apart to laser all the cracks… It’s sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I’ve had so far I’ve lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It’s because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works. I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area: Bikini-$750 Underarms-$750 Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

http://www.amacorp.com How does laser hair removal work? Dark pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft and the papilla (the root of the hair follicle) are targeted by a specific light-energy emitted by the laser. In a tiny fraction of a second, the hair is simply vaporized without damaging the skin or any surrounding tissue. Permanent hair removal typically requires 5-6 visits Hair grows in 3 phases. 1) The active growth phase the part of the follicle that actually generates the hair (the papilla) is present and is growing a hair. 2) The mature phase when the hair has stopped growing and the papilla has disappeared. 3) The dormant phase the follicle is preparing to shed the old hair (exfoliation) and cycle back to the active growth phase. On average, a hair follicle will cycle through the phases every 4-12 weeks depending on which part of the body the hair is growing. When dark hair is treated, it is always vaporized regardless of the phase. However, the follicle itself will stop making hair only if treated during the active growth phase when the hair shaft is still connected to the root, making it vulnerable to the laser energy which destroys it. Therefore, the patient must return for 5-6 repeat visits of laser hair removal approximately 4-6 weeks apart until every follicle is caught in the active growth phase to achieve permanent hair removal. Long-term hair removal maintenance may be required With time, typical skin will grow new hair from newly active follicles that have never before been active. This is a common occurrence due to normal life changes, maturation, aging and normal hormonal cycles for both men and women. Therefore, even after a thorough and effective series of laser hair removal treatments that cleared all the hair from a given area, new hair may appear that will require an occasional laser hair removal touchup treatment. Does it hurt? In one pulse (that lasts a tiny fraction of a second) our lasers remove hair on a patch of skin the size of a quarter. The hair removal sensation is like plucking hair or getting snapped by a rubber-band. Our lasers incorporate a patented and state-of-the-art integrated cooling system that acts as a natural anesthetic, cooling down the skin to minimize any discomfort. Patients unanimously report that the hair removal treatment is a piece of cake compared to waxing. Darker hair vs. lighter hair and laser hair removal It is the pigment in the hair that actually absorbs laser energy. Thus, the darker the hair, the more laser energy it will absorb which is the key to vaporizing the hair and destroying the papilla for permanent hair removal. Additionally, the thicker the hair, the more laser energy it will absorb. Think of the hair shaft like a lightening rod. The thicker the rod, the more electricity it can absorb. Therefore, thick jet-black hair is the easiest to remove. Patients with light blonde, grey or white hair will need to apply a specially formulated pharmaceutical substance (that infuses the follicle with melanin) in conjunction with their laser hair removal treatments.
