Some people grow tired of shaving, waxing and plucking,
and consider permanent hair removal as a logical course
of action. Knowing what's available and how much it costs is a determining factor,
as are method and convenience. Does permanent hair removal really
work? Will hairs eventually grow back? Inform yourself before
making that appointment to ensure complete satisfaction.
Permanent hair removal can
be accomplished with several different methods, but the most common is electrolysis.
This method utilizes a light ray that can travel beneath skin layers, without
damaging them, to pinpoint a hair follicle. Permanent
hair removal is a misnomer, however. Heat generated in this light ray then
damages or destroys the hair follicle, resulting in little or no hair growth
for anywhere from three to six months. Eventually, the hair will grow back.
Still, this is a viable option for many to facilitate active lifestyles and
temperaments. To achieve this state however, several sessions are required,
and each treatment is very expensive, averaging around $400 a visit. Most
people in the permanent hair removal industry define
'permanent' as being able to go months without having to shave again. Permanent
hair removal using laser methods does achieve long-term hair removal
but not permanent hair removal.
Be
advised that permanent hair removal terms and even
semi-permanent hair removal terms can apply to
periods of time of a few weeks to a few months. Clinical studies published
in medical publications and to the FDA show that
very few people achieve lasting, i.e. permanent results with permanent hair
removal techniques. Other common methods of addressing permanent hair removal
are laser, flash lamp, medications and topical ointments.
Laser and flash lamp methods of permanent hair removal tend to work better
on darker hair than lighter shades. Methods that work to lesser degrees are
the use of oral prescription mediations, which obviously require constant
use, and prescription strength topical ointments and preparations. These also
require ongoing use to achieve results in permanent hair removal.
Other
methods of permanent hair removal with less satisfactory
results are the use of electric tweezers, dietary supplements and non-prescription
medications. Permanent hair removal is less likely with the use of tweezing,
while half of people who tried a topical ointment achieved some degree of
permanent hair removal, or at least to the degree
that shaving was not required for at least a few weeks.
Some studies have shown that many people are unable
to achieve permanent hair removal for various reasons, whether
genetic or otherwise. Knowing what a product claims to do and what it actually
achieves are two different things, and it's up to the consumer interested
in permanent hair removal methods to search for
the one that suits their goals best. Many of these permanent hair
removal methods are cost prohibitive for many consumers and
they must resort to less effective measures. The bottom line is that there
is no such thing as permanent hair removal. The most to be hoped for is reduction
of time spent shaving, tweezing and plucking.Author
