One of the more common ways to get rid of unwanted hair is, of course, to shave it. But shaving has a negative connotation to many women, and some children, especially when they have to remove hair on their faces. Other methods that are used for hair removal on faces especially waxing, which can be a very painful procedure. Cream depilatories or cream that melts the hair on the surface is another alternative. Problems include allergic reactions and irritations.
Electrolysis can be effective, but it is a very painful and uncomfortable procedure for many people.
Currently available lasers have cooling devices that enable medical professionals to achieve outstanding results using a non-invasive procedure. Such lasers are effective and they provide the fastest and most affordable treatment while assuring patient comfort. The laser works by producing a wavelength of light that can be absorbed only by certain structures associated with hair. In other words, the laser's energy is selective. It can pass through the upper layers of skin with only slight absorption, but at greater depths, when it contacts a structure, such as a hair follicle, it is more thoroughly absorbed.
