Laser Hair Removal Risks - Know What They Are Today
by Jeremy Cole

Laser hair removal is one of the top choices in eradicating unwanted body hair. It is also one of the most common cosmetic procedures that post significant risks on patients. If you are to undergo this procedure, it is only wise that you know the possible effects on your body.

The most common removal of hair via laser risk is burning. The heat coming from the light used in order to singe the hair follicles can become too high that it causes burns and blisters on the skin surface. The damage can range from superficial to serious and there are even some cases where the burns are too critical that emergency surgery had to be done in order to save the patient.

Another danger that it poses is hyper pigmentation. This condition is caused by the over production of melanin in the skin. This is particularly difficult to deal with especially for people with fair skin because the pigments will be very ostentatious and there is no quick remedy that can be used to correct it.

The thing with hyper pigmentation is that you will not notice it at once. The pigments will not be noticeable immediately after the laser treatment. However, the more treatments you have, the more serious the condition will become until you see all the dark spots on the area where you had the procedure done as well as the surrounding parts.

Hypo pigmentation is another risk that may arise from laser treatments. This is the exact opposite of hyper pigmentation because in this case, the problem is lack of melanin on the skin. This is equally a cause for concern because lack of melanin on the skin can develop into other serious skin conditions. You have to remember that melanin protects the skin and without such protection, it becomes vulnerable to all sorts of threats such as melanoma or skin cancer.

Here are some tips for you to avoid dangers of having your hair removed via laser:

Talk to your dermatologist about the procedure. Relay your concerns so that if there is any way that the procedure can be performed without the risks of burning and pigmentation, the necessary steps can be taken.
Communicate with your doctor while the procedure is being done. If you feel that the heat is too much for your skin to take, make sure that you inform the attending dermatologist at once in order for the treatment to be stopped before serious damage is inflicted.
Do not go beyond what is recommended to your by the dermatologist just because you want all the hair in your body permanently removed. There is only so much that your skin can take over a period of time which means that you have to let it sit before you start with treatments again.
Take the precautions as instructed by your doctor. If there are certain topical or oral medications that you are instructed to use in order to pre-empt any infection or negative reaction, make certain that you do so.

Waxing and its side effects

Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal. It’s used by women and to a lesser extent by men for removing their unwanted hairs. Waxing can be done with the help hot or cold wax that removes hair from the root. New hair growth may take 2-8 weeks after a session of waxing.

You can wax any part of your body including your pubic region. However, it is advisable to apply a suitable hair removal cream after waxing to avoid problems such as redness and swelling of the skin. You can also wax your face; however, this is not advisable. You must use a facial hair remover to remove unwanted hair from the face. With the social stigma associated with facial hair in women, many women use facial hair remover creams to get rid of their unwanted hair. By doing a simple search online, you can come across many facial hair remover creams. Other body parts which can be waxed with any suitable hair removal cream are legs, arms, eyebrows, back, feet, abdomen and bikini line.

The process of using a hair removal cream around bikini area is popularly known as bikini waxing. Likewise, you can do leg waxing, chest waxing, foot waxing, arm waxing and entire body waxing. Although facial and body hairs can be waxed with the help of facial hair remover cream and hair removal cream respectively, this process isn’t free from undesirable side effects. Waxing can be painful and uncomfortable, though the pain is felt for a short period only. It can also boost the growth of ingrown hairs, minor bleeding, red bumps and other allergic reactions.

Waxing is also related to some health concerns. It’s not recommended for people, especially those suffering from diabetes or with poor blood circulation. Waxing should also be avoided by people who are on medications such as Retin-A, Renova, Differin or Isotretinoin, as these medicines tends to weaken the skin. You should also not wax your skin if it’s affected with pimples, warts, moles or rashes.

Do You Know These Facial Hair Removal Options?
by Lalita Hasib

Women... Puberty, pregnancy, menopause... Do you badly experience unwanted facial hair? Is it really annoying or is it just a cosmetic thing to do? Read this short article to discover what how you can remove your facial hair.
Shaving. Not a really good option because the problem disappears only for a short period of time and the razor may irritate your skin.

Plucking is more feminine and more efficient than shaving but the problem is not totally resolved. This option is not permanent even if it's longer than shaving. Waxing is another option but it's painful. We have cream but they are painful too and smell really bad.

Another option is epilators with tweezers. Difficult to say, it may work for some and not for others. The more you hair is thick, the more it works in a permanent manner.

Then come electrolysis to remove permanently with a higher success rate your facial hair. Here, a small charge of electricity is delivered to the bulb to kill it forever and then the hair is manually removed without any effort. Disadvantage number one: it can be painful and if you use a beginner with less experience you take the risk of scarring. The second inconvenient is redness (small lesions that not stay long). And the last disadvantage is the result, you need to kill the hair during its growth phase if not, you have to try again and again. You pay around $60 for an hour.

And the last option: the laser. You need several operations here too for an efficient result, it's around $80 per treatment. It's less painful but still a little bit painful. Unfortunately, it doesn't work on blonde, red and white hairs but you can use this technique for hairs in the ears or in the nose (you cannot attain those areas with the electrolysis techniques).

As always and as we have said in previous articles, you should referrer to your doctor first. Facial hair removal can be more than aesthetic things because for some women if not all, they feel way better without facial hair, right?

Enjoy yourself.

Instead of bleaching your facial hair or using other hair removal products, laser treatment can be the best and the most effective option.
