Having body hair is not uncommon. It's also unwanted most of the time. Unfortunately, it can be a bother to remove unwanted body hair. The hair removal methods that are normally done don't last for long and are tiresome work. Waxing may last from a few days to a couple of weeks but it's a painful and even messy procedure. Shaving, on the other hand, is painless, but the effect only lasts for a few hours before the hair starts to grow back. Plucking the hair with tweezers, quite simply, is too much work. It even causes chicken skin spots, or the condition when patches of skin becomes swollen and rough. You might want to try undergoing laser hair removal if you're not happy with these means.

Laser hair removal is a popular means mostly because it provides long-lasting results. It has acquired quite a following in the cosmetic industry in the recent years. considered safe, the process only takes a few seconds. It can also cover practically all face and body areas, including the armpits, legs, and chest and back.

How exactly does laser hair removal work? Plainly put, it emits highly concentrated light into the hair follicles to eradicate them. Using selective photothermolysis (SPTL), it corresponds specific wavelength of light and pulse duration. This enables the laser to restrict the effect on its target and avoid causing harm on the surrounding tissues. It can annihilate several hair follicles at the same time without harming the skin because only the dark objects in the skin, which are the hair follicles, attract the laser energy, leaving the lighter coloured skin unharmed.

This works best with dark hair and fair skin mixture, however. It may not work effectively on people with light, white, or grey hair or with very dark skin colour. Patients may also expect minor sting during the procedure. The pain, dependant upon the type of machine used and the sensitivity point of the skin, can be likened to the sharp snap of a rubber band on the skin. While tolerable, it can cause temporary tenderness around the area, which can be treated with simple application of topical gel.

While laser hair removal is a truly effective technique, it doesn't permanent get rid of hair, as opposed to what some people assert. It is best described as a permanent hair reduction method as hair can still grow back some time following the last treatment. It can, however, permanently reduce the total number of body hair following several sessions.

The procedure can be done in informal locations, like shopping mall spas and clinics, but it must be carried out by a certified professional. Have your laser hair removal done in a reputable clinic in Singapore. Most aesthetic clinics in Singapore also offer other cosmetic and medical treatments, like remove pigmentation marks from the face and other body parts and Zeltiq Singapore slimming procedures.
