Laser Hair Removal In Pittsford NY

Unwanted hair is embarrassing especially when others see it. It can destroy your self-esteem and your outlook on life. Some women have hair in places that are humiliating such as on their face and chin. They may feel uneasy when in the presence of the opposite sex. There are ways to get rid of annoying hair; some are temporary and two are permanent.

Everyone has heard of shaving. It is a quick and easy hair removal method. The only tools you will need are a razor and some sort of barrier such as shaving cream, soap or shaving gel. Getting rid of hair with a razor is simple until you encounter the negative consequences of shaving including ingrown hairs, razor burn and cuts. The other issue with shaving is that the hair grows back in darker and sharper.

Waxing is another temporary method that offers swift hair removal. A hot wax is applied to the area to be treated. The wax is removed quickly by ripping it off after a cloth or piece of paper is pressed on top of the wax. With waxing there are both short and long term after effects. Short-term effects include pain, redness, oozing and blistered skin. Long-term effects include flaccid skin that leads to wrinkles.

Depilatory creams off short-term hair removal. It is a cream that works by breaking down the protein found in the hair. Once it is on the hair for a certain amount of time, the hair can be rubbed off. It is important to do a skin test prior to treating an entire area because you may be allergic to the chemicals in the cream. Other negative outcomes include chemical burns; staining of the skin; and skin irritation.

Tweezing is a temporary hair removal method that is very time consuming. It takes a steady hand and only a pair of tweezers. It takes a lot of time because every hair must be pulled out individually so it is usually reserved for treating small areas such as facial hair such as your eyebrows. Side effects include pain, skin discoloration and ingrown hairs.

Electrolysis is one of two permanent hair removal techniques. It uses an increasing electric current. The electric current is sent to the hair follicle through a needle that is put into the skin. Once the electric current is high enough the follicle will be damaged and the hair will come out with ease. Once damaged a hair follicle will no longer produce new hairs. Each hair must be done individually. The procedure has a reputation as being painful and long. Each session can last hours. In order to get rid of the hair permanently you must attend 15 to 30 sessions.

Laser Hair Removal in Pittsford is the other way to get rid of unwanted hair forever. It works with a light. It does not use needles like electrolysis and is known as being a comfortable procedure. It is quick when compared to electrolysis as a single pulse of the laser destroys many hair follicles at once. Sessions last between a minute and over an hour depending on what area you are having treated. If you are having your upper lip treated each session takes less than a minute but if you are having your legs treated it could take close to an hour. Side effects are rare with Laser Hair Removal in Pittsford. To complete a treatment to become hair free you will need between three and eight sessions.
