Myths And Truths About Hair Removal

February 7, 2013

There are many misconceptions about laser and electrolysis hair removal in general and they can cause quite a bit of confusion when you’re trying to decide which technique is right for you. To help make your decision making process easier and more effective, here is a list of myths and truths about both procedures.

LASER

Myth: Laser is a form of permanent hair removal.

Truth: Unfortunately, this is not true. Laser is actually permanent hair reduction, not removal. Most laser companies guarantee 30 to 70% reduction but very few people see 100%.

Myth: The more laser treatments you get the better the results.

Truth: Beware of people who want to take advantage of you because there are a lot of them out there. I can’t tell you how many clients I have who went to a doctor or hair removal specialist and were told to keep going to in until the hairs were gone. The fact is that you will need seven treatments to get results. If you have sensitive skin or a darker skin tone then you may need nine, but anything more is a waste of time and money. In addition to this, if you keep going to treatments, you may cause new hairs to sprout or make the existing hairs thicker and darker.

Myth: Laser can cause cancer or prevent someone from getting pregnant later on in life.

Truth: There’s no evidence proving that either of these statements are true.

Myth: If I do laser on an area where the hairs are thin the hairs may still disappear.

Truth: Actually the reverse is true. Doing laser on an area where there aren’t any hairs or the hairs are thin may make the existing and new hairs grow out thick and dark.

Myth: Laser is a great way to shape my eyebrows.

Truth: You should NEVER attempt laser on your eye area because if you open your eyes for even a tenth of a second by accident you can go blind. Even if you keep your eyes closed it can be a problem because the red light from the laser will keep flashing near your eye lid and cause irritation.

ELECTROLYSIS

Myth: Electrolysis removes the hairs in one or two sessions.

Truth: As great as it would be if this were true, it’s not. Unfortunately there’s no way to tell how many treatments you will need in order to get rid of the hairs permanently because everyone is different. For some people it may take a few months to clear up an area while for others it may take a few areas.

Myth: Electrolysis is not permanent. Years down the road the hairs can come back.

Truth: This is totally false. Keep in mind that you have 1,000 hair follicles in a square inch of skin so it’s very well possible that new hairs became active years after you’ve finished treatments in a certain area.

Myth: My electrologist told me that it doesn’t matter if he/ she use the same probe (needle-like tool) on me as her last client or repeatedly.

Truth: You wouldn’t want your doctor to use a dirty needle on you, would you? Then you should definitely stay away from someone who thinks that it’s ok to use the same probe on you as someone else. This is very unhealthy and unsanitary and can lead to you getting scarred or even sick.

Myth: The new electrolysis machines are not as good as the original one.

Truth: The only difference is that the new machines shoot out the electricity faster so that the sessions are less painful. Otherwise, they’re exactly the same.

Myth: Electrolysis can leave marks that scar.

Truth: Some people may see marks that look like scabs appear after a treatments however these marks do go away in a few days or weeks. If you do see them it’s completely normal and you shouldn’t worry about it. In order to speed up the healing process you can apply Neosporin a couple of times a day and try using a gold probe in the future.

Review: LaserTouch Aesthetics Soho

October 22, 2012

I was recently invited to LaserTouch Aesthetics in New York City to review their services. LaserTouch Aesthetics offers cosmetic procedures and laser hair removal center as well as laser skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion, cellulite treatment, smartlipo and other aesthetic procedures.

The office is located in a pristine Manhattan office building with crisp white interior. The staff was friendly and took the time to answer all of my questions and to alleviate all of my concerns. After a 15 minute consultation, I decided to try skin tightening, Microdermabrasion and Laser Hair Removal.

Titan Skin Tightening can be used on the face, abdomen and arms. The Cutera Titan® uses light energy to heat the dermis deep beneath the skin’s surface. Titan uses a safe infrared light to heat the dermis well below the skin’s surface. During the procedure, the skin’s surface (epidermis) is protected through continuous cooling with the Titan handpiece. The procedure is not painless, it feels like your skin is near a lit match but the feeling subsides very quickly. And skin tightening takes several uses to see a noticeable difference, unfortunately.

Microdermabrasion is mechanical exfoliation with a diamond tip device that buffs away sun spots, acne scarring and skin pigmentation and vacuums the dead skin cells away. I’ve had a similar procedure, vibradermabrasion, so I knew what to expect. The results were noticeable right way, my skin looked incredibly bright with a lot less scaring.

Laser Hair Removal is effective in significantly reduce hair permanently, and who couldn’t use a little more of that?! I had brazilian bikini laser hair removal and laser hair removal under my arms. Let me just say that it is NOT painless, Ouch! The treatment takes about 10 minutes but it felt like a rubber band being snapped against my genitals. But when it was all done, it looked and felt great, and I was pain free. Treatment plans vary for hair removal but generally consist of 6-8 sessions for the shoulders and below, and 8-10 treatments for the neck and above. So if I want to maintain this look, I’m going to have to endure a little more pain.

Overall, I had a great visit to LaserTouch Aesthetics, the services were professionally done and the staff was great. Have you ever had laser hair removal?
