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.

In this economy everyone is looking for the next great deal. When it comes to leasing a car, you can search for an incredible offer mostly because if you’re in a lease and the car is faulty you just take it back with no expense. Many products and services come with this type of discounting and assurance as many business are in need of customers. Some believe the same to be true about a Botox Treatment and are very often lead to believe they got a great deal.

Receiving a great deal on Botox is like wanting the whole enchilada but just getting the nachos. I am not sure if this example provides the full picture, but you just can’t compromise a Botox treatment and expect a great outcome.

Botox is a botulinum toxin. When used correctly it can relieve the look of aging and temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkling and creases in the upper face and eye area by freezing certain muscles in and around the face.

Many providers offer Botox per area or per treatment. It is far less of a guessing game and the results are much more corrective if Botox is offered per treatment. All areas of the upper face will be treated at the same time for one price. The catch here is how much product are you getting for your money. I have heard that one client said to another that her Botox treatment cost was $400 and that her friend paid $600 and was over charged. Truthfully, if the person paying $600 received 50 units of Botox she got a much better deal and much better results. Some providers prefer to ask the patient to explain what area is of most concern and treat just that area. To fully appreciate the dramatic and youthful effects of Botox all areas in the upper face could and should be treated. Mostly all women and men want to look refreshed and have a tighter less wrinkled looking face.

If the line between your brows makes you crazy you can purchase what you need to correct that line. The same goes for sagging eyelids or droopy eyebrows. Many women are not sure where to start and a full treatment in all three areas with 50 units is a complete correction. Customers will benefit from coming into an office and asking the price per unit. This is truly the only way you can determine if you are getting a fair price or if the provider is just over charging. The average amount for a full treatment, all three areas, the brows forehead and around the eyes is 50 units. The average cost is between $12-$15 per unit.

This information is priceless and the consumer needs to be educated before looking for a great deal. Most important, the injector must be in the medical field and highly trained as an injector. How many patients are seen at this location? Will they provide you with testimonials and contacts that you can speak with directly to hear of their experiences. How long have they been providing Botox? These questions need to be answered before you consider a location.

Certainly the technique is important but that does not cost twice as much as another talented injector. I have found that some of the female nurses working with a doctor are some of the best injectors in the business. Referrals are a great way to find someone with talent. If you noticed your neighbor or co-worker looks years younger after a long weekend ask them what’s up and where do I go. Experience and talent will provide a safe and very exciting outcome and you will look years younger with no downtime at a fraction of the cost of surgery.

There is a need to repeat the treatment every three to four months. Some gals think that just one treatment before a wedding or reunion will do. The problem, you will look and feel great about yourself and when it starts wearing off you start hunting for it. If you can see it as maintenance or a necessity like a car payment and put aside $200 a month for your Botox, then this treatment is like a fountain of youth. Botox can relieve the signs of aging and provide relief of many medical conditions. Side effects, if any, are minimal and no allergy testing necessary. New uses for Botox are constantly being found and Botox has been safely administered in the medical field for over twenty years.

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.
