Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent Or Should I Consider Electrolysis?

admin — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 00:14:59 +0000

Laser hair removal and electrolysis and their ability to remove unwanted hair permanently is often misleading. In many case both treatments are necessary and others will benefit solely from one or the other. Many believe there is no need for electrolysis when laser is available. This is incorrect and in some cases can lead to much more unwanted hair.

If Laser is used on the face, chin or lip area of women where all the hair is not actively growing it could cause more unwanted hair to begin growing. The laser targets color and is much less effective on blonde, gray and fine hair. Women with dark skin are also difficult to treat as the laser cannot distinguish between the color of the hair and the color of the skin. Laser works best on light skin with dark hair and areas with full growth such as under arms, on the legs and in the bikini area where all the hair is actively growing. Some men, with full back hair, are good candidates for Laser as every follicle has a thick dark hair for the laser to find.

What is an active hair and why can’t I treat an area with laser where just a few hairs require treatment?

Vellus, is the superficial hair that covers most of our of body. This hair is very difficult to actually see but it exists on the surface of our skin. Mostly every square inch of skin has 6,000 follicles, much of which are Vellus hairs. Vellus hair is considered inactive. Areas that we shave, wax or tweeze regularly are Terminal Hairs and is considered active.

It is necessary to shave the area completely before a Laser treatment. The tiny inactive Vellus hairs will be shaved and treated along with the thicker hairs during a Laser treatment. The fine hairs will grow back and over time will become active. For example; if you have ten hairs on you lip and you want them removed by Laser, the Vellus hairs that surround the thicker, darker hairs, will grow back.

After several treatments the Vellus hairs, that do not respond to Laser, will start to change and become longer and darker. These Vellus hairs are still not being affected by the laser but becoming much more noticeable. Treating these areas with Laser can cause more unwanted hair than you started with.

Electrolysis will target the thick dark Terminal hairs without touching the tiny, almost non visible, Vellus hairs. By doing so only the individual, unwanted hairs are treated and guaranteed to be permanently removed without causing any additional growth. Electrolysis is also suggested for use after completed Laser Treatments for any unwanted hairs that grow back over time.

For many price is an issue when it comes to treatment. The cost of laser verses Electrolysis over time is around the same. Laser is much quicker and requires less treatments but the cost is paid for up front and requires 5 or more treatments. Electrolysis is much more affordable and may take several months of weekly appointments but the cost initially is minimal in comparison to the cost of laser. For example: underarm laser cost on average $150-$200 and approximately 2-5 minutes per treatment. Electrolysis on the underarm would cost on average $45 per half hour and only part of the work would be accomplished. Even though Electrolysis is much less expensive it would take many more treatments than laser to work on such a dense area and eventually the cost would be similar. In this area laser would be preferred as all the follicles are active and would be removed much more Quickly. At the end of the laser treatments in this area, Electrolysis should be suggested to correct any regrowth.

Electrolysis has always been the treatment for targeted hair removal and should be offered for permanent results. If a Laser center does not offer Electrolysis and suggests laser where all the hair is not active, you may experience an undesirable outcome.

Electrolysis and Laser Hair Removal provides the perfect solution for all areas in need of Permanent hair removal. Offering both treatments guarantees a successful outcome.

What’s the best laser skin resurfacing treatment?

admin — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:32:59 +0000

Hello , I really need to strip away the layers of my skin, as there damaged through heat and sunburn, and burning through stuffy humid air in general, I’m 20 but over the last 6 moths various mishaps made my white skin go yellow and red under layer of damaged skin. Just wondeering what’s the best for removing many layers of skin. I hear fraxel has many problems like people coming out worse than they went in hyperpigmentation etc. So was wondering what’s the best most effective and most safest, fraxel, pearl, c02, eribium or some other treatment though laser or not, but not some weak little facial that’s not gonin 2 make a huge differenec, Is fraxel ok or what”?
The newer one is profractional laser and it doesn’t work better then fraxel.

It truly depends on exactly what needs to be properly corrected. In your case it sounds as if the Laser 360 would benefit you from a complete laser skin resurfacing approach. However, you should consult with a professional and certified laser technitian prior to receiving any treatments. FYI – Pixel Laser is an absolutely amazing skin rejuvenation treatment.

microdermabrasion or chemical peels? Is there much difference?

admin — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 19:42:59 +0000

I know the microdermabrasion reduces fine lines on your face but what about chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing ? Which is the longest lasting procedure and also do any of them tighten the skin a little in the process ? Also is there much difference in the cost ?
Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are two popular skin treatments that improve the appearance of the skin. If you choose a chemical peel, you may choose between light, medium and deep. Microdermabrasion simply removes the dead skin cells and the top layer of the skin, while making it feel very smooth. The light peel removes the top layer of skin. You may experience a slight pinkness of the skin, and your skin should return to its natural color later in the same day or the following day. A medium peel removes more skin than a light peel, and recovery takes a week or longer. Results will last longer, however, and the procedure will reduce wrinkles. A physician performs a deep chemical peel in an operating room and is quite expensive. In addition, recovery time can last from 3 to 6 months. Microdermabrasion is the process of spraying fine crystals on the skin to remove the dead skin cells. The skin will appear rosier, lighter and brighter. The results last only a short time, but the cost of the procedure is considerably less than that of chemical peels. Chemical peel will more dramatically change the appearance of your skin, is more expensive and has a longer recovery time. However, many people enjoy the results they get from microdermabrasion treatments as well.

pixel laser resurfacing and tretinoin cream?

admin — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 19:42:59 +0000

i have taken an pixel laser resurphasing treatment of a scar on my upper lip(below nose). before pixel treatment i have used tretinoin for several months (melalong). now even after 7 days my skin is not healing properly. whaen crusting get shed new crusting develops again and again. what should i do now?
Call the person who treated you because it sounds like your skin has been burned and whoever performed the laser resurfacing(hopefully an experienced dermatologist)will need to observe the problem and determine the next course of action.I really cant urge you enough to seek medical treatment from a licensed doctor that has successfully treated several people you know personally..You don’t want to cut corners with this, Good luck!

It’s not the Pixel Laser. You must consult with a qualified skin care professional immediately. This is not normal and needs attention to ensure no infection sets in from the reaction.
