Laser Hair Removal For Men In Chicago
Posted by admin in You should know ... on January 26, 2010
Hello, Gentlemen! Let us tell you that laser hair removal is not just for ladies anymore. For those of you wondering how laser hair removal works, it targets the melanin (the dark pigment that gives hair its color), as the melanin absorbs the laser’s light, the resulting heat basically kills the surrounding hair follicles. Laser hair removal for men can be a great solution for excessive hair on the back, chest, neck, and abdomen.
Unlike other options, laser hair removal can thin hair, rather than removing it completely, so males can choose the look they want. The reason for pursuing male laser hair removal can be as simple as sex appeal. The bottom line is many women don’t find body hair attractive; laser hair removal might bring a certain level of increased sexual confidence.
Results for men can vary, so it’s good to know what male laser hair removal can and can’t do, and if you decide to have it done, how to get the best results.
What you first have to do is to contact several hair removal clinics, and talk to the doctors or technicians. In fact, here are a few steps to follow in order to get the best results:
- Avoid tanning or the use of self-tanning lotions.
- Make sure your doctor will use a proper hair removal laser because there are several kinds of lasers, for fair skin, for dark skin etc.
- Three days before the laser hair removal procedure, shave the area scheduled for laser hair removal. Keep in mind that you are not allowed to use wax or electrolysis.
- Perform an exfoliating treatment about ten days after a laser hair removal session, when the shedding of hair begins
- For a month or more after treatment, avoid tanning or sunless tanners, while your skin is still sensitive.
Laser hair removal for dark skin
Posted by admin in You should know ... on January 26, 2010
When the laser hair removal industry first appeared, people with darker skin tones had almost no option when it came to permanent laser hair removal. But, thankfully, laser technology has evolved and it’s constantly improving in order to overcome this problem. Basically, if you have a dark skin tone and want to have a laser hair removal procedure, those are the steps to follow:
- First of all, you must find a physician with experience performing laser hair removal on people with dark skin tones
- Before the laser hair removal procedure, you must ask your doctor to protect the skin’s surface by cooling it. It may be a spray or any other contact cooling method.
- Make sure that your doctor uses a laser with a longest wavelength of light. Why doing that? Because skin with melanin absorbs short wavelengths, so your doctor must use a longer wavelength to get through your skin.
- Also, you must make sure that the laser’s pulse is altered during the procedure. It’s strongly recommended the use of longer pulse duration for thicker hairs and leaving the light on for a much shorter period of time for the thinner hairs.
- You must be aware of the fact that laser hair removal for dark skin requires at least three sessions in order to get the best results.
- Apply proper creams after the treatment in order to get rid of the redness that may appear.
The total number of treatments will depend on what part of the body is involved, of course, as areas like the back and chest will require more time than an underarm or pubic hair removal procedure. However, make sure you cover all of your bases and find the best physician before beginning your treatment plan.
Tips:
- Use just a little makeup and moisturizer following treatment.
- Exfoliate your skin afterwards because hair will continue to shed.
Use sun block with at least SPF 25 following laser hair removal.
