Laser Hair Removal Information Laser Hair Removal Information Home About Laser Other Methods Directory Library - FAQ Contact Us How Hair Removal by Laser Works This page provides laser hair removal information and facts. It explains the method of permanent removal and how it destroys hair permanently. The information in this guide is based on various reports and articles that have been written. Laser hair removal works by sending a beam of laser light to a group of hair follicles with enough power to disable or destroy the root, but not enough power to harm the surrounding skin. This process is called selective photothermolysis. It is selective because it targets only the hair and not the skin. Photo means light and thermolysis means destroying with heat. The surrounding skin is usually cooled. Some methods include a gel, a spray, or a cooling tip. The Laser beam finds the hair follicles by targeting the substance that gives skin and hair dark color - melanin. Therefore, the ideal candidate for laser has dark hair and light skin. The laser will not work on people with red, white, gray or true blond hair. The hot laser light will also be attracted to the melanin in the skin, so people with suntans, or dark skin types are at more of a risk for discoloration of pigment and other side effects. Hair Removal by Laser is NOT ELECTROLYSIS. Electrolysis is a method of removing individual hairs one-at-a-time by directing an electric current into each hair follicle. This is the high tech/modern day method of destroying massive amounts of hair follicles with a simple trigger pull. Laser only destroys hair in its active growth phase, the anagen phase. This phase lasts several years, and up to 85% of our hair is in that phase at any given time. The good thing is that during this phase, the hair has an abundance of melanin and the hair follicle is easily targeted. Types of lasers There are four different kinds of laser light that are commonly used for hair removal: Alexandrite- such as the Candela GentleLase Plus. Ruby- such as the EpiTouch or the Epilaser. Diode- such as the Coherent Light Sheer. ND, and LP ND Yag- such as the Candela GentleYag and the Altus Cool Glide. These are all effective, fast, comfortable and safe for permanent hair removal. There are several factors that a laser technician can often control to customize a treatment for efficacy, safety and comfort: Pulse length- long pulsed lasers are considered safest. Fluence- Selection of energy levels can be varied for skin type. Delay- The time in between pulses of light affects how much the skin and hair follicle are allowed to cool off Spot Size Affects the speed and penetration of the laser. A larger spot penetrates deeper. A good selection of spot sizes helps the technician reach the hair at the depth at which it grows. Cooling- The surrounding skin may be protected by a gel, spray or cooled tip pressed against the skin.

Good one have "humectants" that not only replace lost moisture but actually attract moisture and retain it in the cortex of the hair. Essential fatty aids (EFA’s) are great moisturizers. One of the best and most cost effective essential fatty acids is safflower oil. It is the kind you can buy to cook with. It is rich in EFA’s. The scalp produces the best EFA’s called sebum. The problems is once the hair grows past the neck line or does not have direct contact with the scalp the scalps natural oils can not be utilized throughout the hair shaft. At this point you can manually replace the lost EFA’s by: Placing 1 or 2 drops of safflower oil in your palms and rub them together. There should only be enough to make your hands "shine" in the light. Carefully take your hair (while dry) and "scrunch" the small amount of oil to the ENDS first and work toward the scalp. Leave this in your hair. 1-2 drops of safflower oil on dry hair is so small, you won’t notice it is there.

NOT COOL Posted by lagurly on 11/28/2005 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful First of all, I like good value and clean places and they were clean, however, the spa owner shares an office with her doctor husband. I don't like that and they act weird about it. The facial was fair, but I had blackheads (3) very visbile on my chin even after the facial. I would truly not recommend that you go there. If you want to pay that kind of money for an office in a high rise building that has a small waiting room with patients (that look like they are on welfare) waiting to see the doctor, then this is your place.
