Permanent laser hair removal provides an alternative to shaving , waxing , tweezing , and using chemical depilatories . It is also significantly less time-consuming than electrolysis. With permanent body hair removal , the laser can treat large areas at the same time. Laser hair removal can be used on the back , chest , or legs , as well as on smaller areas like the upper lip or eyebrows . Laser Hair Removal Candidates The best candidates for laser hair removal include those with light skin and dark hair . The procedure is not as effective on blonde or red hair , and it works better on hair that is coarse rather than fine. Permanent hair removal patients must be willing to commit a substantial amount of time to the laser treatments , which are spaced out over a period of months. Laser body hair removal typically takes several treatments, whereas the number of visits required for laser facial hair removal varies by individual. The best candidates are in good physical and mental condition and maintain realistic expectations about the probable outcomes of laser hair removal. Permanent Lair Hair Removal Procedure Laser hair removal is an outpatient cosmetic procedure performed with one of several types of lasers, including the Q-switched Nd:Yag and the diode laser . Generally, the first step in the laser hair removal process is to shave the area that will be treated. In patients with dark skin , a bleaching cream may be applied beforehand to increase the chances of success. After the area is shaved and cleaned, an anesthetic cream is applied. Then, pulses of light from the laser send energy into the pigment of the hair shaft , which damages the surrounding follicle . A carbon lotion may also be used, which responds to the wavelength of the laser and helps stop hair from growing. Laser Hair Removal Risks Permanent laser hair removal is generally safe, but there are a few possible side effects. In some cases, a darkening or lightening of the treated skin may occur following laser hair removal. Darker skin is more susceptible to changes in pigment, so intentionally tanning beforehand should be avoided. Burning or blistering of the skin is also possible. Following the cosmetic surgeon's instructions and advice is the best means for reducing the risks involved with laser hair removal. Length of Laser Hair Removal Treatment Not all of an individual's hairs are in a growth phase at the same time. Typically, about two-thirds of the hairs are growing at any one time, while the other third are in a resting phase. Because of this, laser hair removal usually takes more than one treatment session, averaging about three sessions for permanent hair removal in any one area. Laser hair removal sessions are generally scheduled at least a month apart so that resting hairs will be back in the growth phase and ready for removal by the time the next procedure is performed. The length of each individual treatment session depends on the size of the area to be treated. Time can range anywhere from five minutes to an hour, depending on whether the procedure is for facial or body hair removal. It is very important that you choose a qualified and highly experienced cosmetic surgeon to perform permanent laser hair removal.

The body is plump and covered with dark brown to black hair. It has a golden-bronze sheen due to longer gold hairs that cover the whole body, and these are particularly dense on the hind legs (4) . Males are often a lighter bronze colour than females (2) . back to top Range This tarantula is found in the central tropical regions of northern Costa Rica, Honduras, and possibly Nicaragua and Guatemala (1) (2) . back to top Habitat A burrowing species, the curly-hair tarantula is found on the tropical rainforest floor around the base of large trees, near rivers (2) (3) . back to top Biology Male curly-hair tarantulas are ready to mate at around 18 months of age, whereas females do not mature until three years of age (3) . Unreceptive females are likely to be aggressive towards approaching males, and may kill and eat them. Once receptive, a female will allow a male into her burrow to mate, resulting in the laying of an egg sack eight weeks later. This is incubated for seven or eight weeks at 24 – 27 ºC, after which the pale-coloured young emerge and cluster together. The spiderlings grow quickly, and moult by the fourth day, by which time they are independent and able to disperse and feed alone (2) . A nocturnal , opportunistic ambusher, the curly-hair tarantula attacks insects and small vertebrates. An area on the end of each leg is sensitive to smell, taste and vibration, and is used to detect prey. The tarantula holds its prey with its pedipalps (front limbs) and injects it with venom delivered via two hollow fangs. This venom has a double purpose, paralysing the prey, as well as beginning digestion. Once the venom has acted the tarantula is able to suck out the proteins and fats of its prey, leaving just a hollow skin or body case (2) . back to top Threats Once captured in large numbers for the international pet trade, the curly-haired tarantula is now bred in captivity worldwide and relatively few are caught in the wild (2) . back to top Conservation Listed on CITES Appendix II, the curly-hair tarantula can now only be traded internationally according to quotas and with trade permits (3) .   Authentication This information is awaiting authentication by a species expert, and will be updated as soon as possible.

AskChrisKnight.com HOME :: Health-and-Fitness / Hair-Loss Hair Transplant For Self-Image By Kenneth Snodin Article Word Count: 446 [ View Summary ] Comments (0) Hair transplant is one way that many are gaining their self-esteem back. Self-Image is a very important thing to have. To an extent, it dictates where you are going in life. Your self-image is made up of more than just your physical appearance, but that is a major component. If it takes hair transplant to get you back on a positive attitude in that regard, then you should do it. Some men are perfectly content with less hair than they once had. Some are even lucky enough to look good bald. Unfortunately, these are the few. The rest of the many people who are losing their hair are losing their looks and confidence too. When you have plenty of confidence, you show it. People know that you mean business and that you expect to get what you want and need. And you usually do. However, when you walk into a place worrying how you look, or doubting yourself, you arent likely to project a strong image. And you are much less likely to get what you need, want, and deserve. This is why many people turn to hair transplant options. If having a full head of hair again will give you that confidence you need to get around in life, then you should pursue it. Not for anyone else, but for you. Before you decide to do hair transplant, you should look at your options. If a wig is all you need, more power to you. However, many wigs look way to obvious to do a lot of good in this area. You can also talk to your doctor about treatments for natural hair re-growth. However, make sure that you understand all possible side-effects before you start taking it. When all else fails, there are hair transplant options. And thanks to modern technology, it is actually possible without scarring. But before you commit, make sure that you know what you are getting yourself into. Find out what can go wrong, and what your chances are. Also ask about how long the procedures will take and any recovery times. Be informed. Next, you should find out who you want to do it. Look at people who do hair transplant options and find out about them. You can even go visit with them and ask to see previous work that they have done if they have it available. If you know anyone who has had it done, see who they would or wouldnt recommend. After you have all the information that you can get, go and retrieve your self-confidence with hair transplant technology.

Now there's help: treatments and styling solutions that really work. Plus, fake "fixes" to avoid. Mom and Dad's DNA determined your eye color, skin tone, foot size -- and, unfortunately for 30 million American women, advertisement a tendency to go bald. What it is: genetic alopecia, also known as female pattern hair loss (FPHL). How to tell if you have it: FPHL usually affects the front and top of the scalp and takes its toll over many years, says dermatologist Ken Washenik, Ph.D., M.D., medical director of Bosley, a physician group that specializes in hair transplants, and a professor of dermatology at the New York University School of Medicine. What causes it: Until recently, experts believed that the male hormone dihydrotestosterone was to blame for FPHL. However, medications that lower male hormone levels have had little impact on female hair loss, so researchers are back on the case. In the meantime, you don't need all the answers in order to take action. Here, experts' best advice on how you can get fuller-looking hair.
