Laser Hair Removal Melbourne – Why So Much Hype??
Unwanted hair is hated by all. Earlier it was just women who used to remove unwanted hair by waxing, shaving etc. Hair removal is so common these days that both men and women are into hair removal processes. The initial methods of hair removal were shaving, waxing and the oldest being the usage of tweezers. All these methods have been dropped due to its many side effects.
Shaving is an easy method of hair removal which can be done at home without the travel to a beauty parlor, but one of the major drawbacks is that the hair is not removed clean. The hair easily grows back and sometimes its thickness increases. Removing body hair with tweezers is not a practical method of hair removal. Waxing is still the most popular hair removal method but is loosing its popularity with the advent of Laser hair removal Melbourne techniques. Waxing involves the usage of hot and sticky wax which is applied onto the body. A strip of paper or cloth is applied on top of the wax and it’s pulled opposite to the direction of growth of hair. The whole process is so painful that people are turning away from waxing.
Electrolysis is another method which failed to reach the masses. The process involved damaging the hair follicle with electric current. This was a painful process and people didn’t accept the technique. It was then that laser hair removal Melbourne came into the limelight and has gained popularity as the best hair removal technique.
Laser hair removal process involves letting a beam of laser light to fall on the skin to be treated which acts on the hair follicles and thus halts the growth of hair. This is not a permanent solution but still a longer relief is obtained from the frequent visits to the waxing parlor. The technique has some drawbacks but still accepted worldwide as the best hair removal technique available today.
The procedure works best on people with lighter skin. The laser light acts on chromophores and therefore when allowed to fall on the skin, the laser light acts on the darker melanin and halts the growth of hair. People with good color contrast between the hair and the skin have chances of better result. People with skin and body hair in same color tone face chances of having the skin damaged due to laser light. Technological advancements in laser hair removal Melbourne are trying vigorously to combat this issue.
Never do a laser hair removal with a sun tan. A sun tan leaves your skin darker than its original color and therefore the laser light will act on the whole skin. Make sure that you have your sun tan fully removed before you go for your laser hair removal treatment. The treatment is completed in several sittings depending upon the person’s skin type, so if you have a deadline to have your hair removed for some function, and then plan it in early. Even if the procedure is a costly one, the results given are good.
