Hair Removal Methods

Forget waxing (too painful) or shaving (too time consuming) - the best way to de-fuzz this summer is with the Silk’n laser home use Hair Removal System.

Before the introduction of laser technology, removing unwanted hair meant either having to endure pain and irritation and/or spending a lifetime utilising temporary, less than satisfactory measures.

For years, the suggested alternative was electrolysis for permanent hair removal.

Electrolysis involves inserting a probe/needle into the hair follicle. Once the probe is in the hair follicle, the electrologist delivers an electric current to destroy the cells around the hair follicle. It is invasive. The needle breaks the skin, which can lead to infection and scarring. Since electrolysis can only treat one hair follicle at a time, many more treatments are required to achieve the same results as with laser technology. Because of this, electrolysis isn't practical for large areas of the body. Electrolysis also is more painful and typically more expensive than laser treatments.

In addition, clients who have plucked or waxed for years are often poor candidates for electrolysis. The reason being that the hair canals are somewhat curved due to the repeated trauma, so the needle cannot be easily passed down to the hair bulb.

Waxing and shaving, while quicker than electrolysis do not offer long lasting hair removal and require a lifetime of self-service. In the process of waxing, a sticky heated bee’s wax preparation is spread on the skin where the hair is present. The wax adheres to the hair, and when removed it pulls out the hairs by their roots. When the hair is pulled out, the follicle is stimulated to begin ‘anagen’ phase again, and a new hair grows within several weeks. Waxing has an advantage over shaving and chemical depilatories in that the hair is removed with its root, rather than removed at the skin line. The new hair, which is softly tapered, takes a few weeks to reach the surface of the skin, and therefore re-growth is delayed, rather than immediate.

Waxing is quick, although many find it very uncomfortable. It has the disadvantage of irritating the skin because of the heated wax burning, or the mechanical removal of actual skin by adhesion of the wax to the skin’s top layer.

The main difference between laser hair removal and the traditional method known as electrolysis, is that laser hair removal can treat multiple hair follicles at one time, no longer requiring the need to identify and probe each individual hair follicle, as is done with electrolysis. Hair grows in cycles and subsequent laser treatments are necessary to treat all the hairs in their different stages. Laser hair removal is widely regarded as the safest, fastest, most effective method available for hair removal on the market today.

Most people wonder about the cost of laser hair removal, as the average salon price for one bikini area laser hair removal session is £110 and you are recommended to have between 6 – 12 treatments. So it can work out very expensive and especially if you wanted more areas treated.
