Get Your Skin Ready For Summer with Laser Hair Removal
Once upon a time, shaving and waxing were the only forms of
hair removal. Nearly all women used these methods to get rid of unwanted hair on
the body. Typical hair removal
treatments like these examples, can be painful and time consuming.
Laser hair removal is one of many advancements in the beauty
industry. It is a quick method, which
not only gets rid of hair, but can also tackle common problems such as
ingrowing hairs. If you are looking for pain free
hair removal that gives more effective and longer lasting results, having
laser treatment could be the perfect solution for you.
Tackle Those Unwanted
Problems
The
painful removal of hair, through waxing in particular, can often result in
redness. Shaving can cause ingrown hairs, and usually doesn’t last very long
because it simply cuts the hair, rather than removing it from the root. Laser hair removal can defeat all of these
problems. Not only is it a pain-free
method, but it also works to try and reduce hair permanently on parts of the
body, such as on the face, underarms and arms, abdomen, legs and bikini line.
Shaving Moments You
May Be Familiar With
Laser hair removal works on hair follicles to remove them
from the root. Once you have had your first treatment, you may notice that the hair
will not grow back as quickly as usual. So for the next few weeks, you won’t
have to worry about the chore of shaving or waxing.
You may be familiar with times when you have been in a rush,
and suddenly realise you need to shave your legs. There is nothing worse than having to strain your
back to bend over the bath, and shave your legs quickly. This is likely to
cause some cuts if not done with care, but it is also possible that you may
miss some bits out. Laser hair removal
won’t leave you with this problem at all.
How Does Laser Hair
Removal Work?
The laser emits a high intensity beam of light, which
delivers therapeutic energy at the area. This then penetrates through the skin,
where it is absorbed by the hair follicles underneath the surface of the skin. This results in the follicle being destroyed,
leaving you with hair-free skin. In
order to effectively work towards reducing hair completely, laser hair
treatment sessions should be attended every 6 weeks, to keep on top of it.
Taking Care of Your
Skin after Treatment
After removing hair, skin can become a little sensitive, so
it’s important to take necessary precautions to look after it once treatment
has finished.
You should not:
- Expose your skin to strong UV rays for at least 2 weeks after having laser hair removal
- Shave between 48-72 hours after removal
- Have too many hot showers and baths
- Use SPF with a factor of less than 30
- Use other methods of hair removal like waxing or epilating between treatments
