Laser Hair Removal
The Myths of Laser Hair Removal
There are a lot of myths out there about laser hair removal because it is a new technology that many people do not always trust. However, these myths are just that, myths, and you should not be worried about laser hair removal. It is safe, efficient and nearly painless. Some of the myths you may have heard include:
- It is harmful to the health of the organs: This is completely untrue. The laser does not penetrate more than four millimeters into the skin and goes no farther than the hair follicles. The beam is not damaging the skin, it is simply moving along the skin. The worst that usually happens for most who get the treatment is redness that lasts only a few hours.
- It causes scarring: This is not true at all because the laser does not breach the skin. There is no scarring at all, unlike what can happen with electric hair removal, which uses a needle touching the skin.
- It is very expensive: Yes, there is a higher cost associated with laser hair removal. If it costs $400 a session and takes fie sessions, then it will cost $2,000 but you have to look at how much you are spending on shavers, creams, foams and more over the course of 10 years. Read more about laser hair removal costs.
- It hurts a lot: How much it hurts depends on how much a person can take in terms of pain. Most consider it to be very mild in terms of pain and nowhere near the pain caused by waxing. As well, you can ask your technician to put on anesthetic cream to dull any sort of pain or discomfort that may be felt. Read more about laser hair removal pain.
- It is 100 percent effective: If any clinic promises you this, then they are lying. Hair is prevented from growing with laser hair removal, but it is not eliminated completely. Hair can still grow in the future, new hairs will pop up, and this is why it is important to have annual sessions to touch up any areas that may have new hair growth.
- Laser hair removal causes increased hair growth: This is not the case at all.
- Only people with light skin and dark hair can get laser hair removal: While it works best with people who have light skin and dark, course hair, they are not the only ones who can get the treatment done. New lasers have been made that can be used on people who have dark skin and dark hair, and some lasers will even work with light hair and light skin. It should be noted however that dark skin/dark hair and light skin/light hair patients may require more sessions and each session may be longer.
There are so many myths out there associated with laser hair removal that it can be hard to know the truth from the fiction. Suffice to say, laser hair removal works and it works well. It is expensive, but it is efficient and it will keep you from having to shave for years. This is why it has become so popular.

Diane Simon is fascinated by people's relationship with their hair because it is both very personal one and very public. She recognizes that so much of who we are is reflected in our relationship with our hair. Diane is the curly-haired daughter of straight haired parents and has suffered much for her "bad hair". In researching and writing Hair: Public, Political, Extremely Personal she has used her suffering as a point of entry, a common ground to share with those who think of themselves as excluded from Western beauty norms because of their hair. In Hair: Public, Political, Extremely Personal , social and cultural issues form the backdrop for an exploration of the choices people make to transform themselves through their hair. Hair is a cultural investigation with a strong narrative momentum and a commitment to individual personalities. Join Diane on her visits to Harlem braiding salons and Hassidic wig shops, and in her quest to try every type of hair removal. Spend an afternoon with Sy Sperling at the Hair Club for Men headquarters in Boca Raton, Florida, and find out the truth about some celebrity scalps.

MOOM Hair Remover - With MOOM you are not ignoring your skin while removing unwanted hair. MOOM is hair removal and skin care in one. Shaving and depilatory creams are not the answer for hair removal since they only cut the hair at the surface of the skin. The hair grows back quickly and coarsely. Although waxing removes the hair from the root, it damages the skin and is extremely painful. With waxing, you need pre/post therapy lotions to repair the damage done to the skin.. |
