Unwanted hair - Laser a Good Solution

Unwanted hair is a big problem for women more particularly for unmarried girls. Growth of hair on upper lips, chin and cheeks irritates them and lowers their confidence level.

Causes
There are many causes for unwanted hair. They are
1) Hormonal imbalance
2) PCOD
3) Intake of some drugs
4) Menopause stage etc.

Treatment:
In treating the problem of unwanted hair, a thorough medical examination is the right approach. Diagnostic tests may include, testosterone level check and other hormonal levels. Once the root cause if found it is easy to find a right path of treatment. However the hair already appeared may not disappear with medication. So, one should choose additional techniques for hair removal. Of course, there are many methods followed by the modern women. They are creams, waxing, threading, shaving, and electrolysis and laser treatment. Out of all these, laser is a modern and good solution for the problem of unwanted hair.

Laser
Laser means "Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation". In this technique, powerful Laser rays are used to treat the problem.
This technique is in vogue for the past decade and is applied in various fields such as eye, skin, dental surgery etc.

Use of Laser in removing unwanted hair is permitted by FDA of America in 1996. In recent times, many advances took place in the field of Laser technology and various kinds of Lasers are available for different applications.

How Laser Works
All of us know that if we stand in sunlight with a white shirt, it will not become hot but a black shirt absorbs heat and becomes hot then transfers heat to our body.
This is the principle in Laser technique.

Coming to hair, it is dark in color (except in aged people). This color is due to a chemical substance called "melanin", which is present in the hair and its root. When powerful Laser rays are applied Melanin in the hair and more particularly in the root absorbs the heat. Because of this heat the root is damaged resulting in the fall of the hair. However more care should be taken in applying Lasers.

How long the treatment is required?
Generally, 4-5 sittings are required for the fall of unwanted hair with Laser technique. However, 100% removal of unwanted hair is not possible with Laser but at least 70% of the hair removal is possible with this technique.

Caution
Laser treatment should not be taken from pseudo experts. It should be taken in a good clinic under the supervision of a qualified and experienced physician. Otherwise, Laser rays may damage skin by burning, resulting in black spots.

Get rid of unwanted hair with Laser removal and get great looks!
