Permanent Hair Removal

For times immemorial, women around the world prefer a smooth, flawless skin with no hair at all. And in the recent years, technology has made this a reality. The word ‘permanent’ when you talk about hair removal is quite debatable, because one finds that in this case ‘permanent’ does not mean forever! For the purpose of definition – ‘permanent’ means anything that can last a few weeks, months or even an year. Here are the permanent hair removal methods.

Electrolysis

This method was invented around 100 years ago in the United States of America, Electrolysis is till date referred to as one of the most effective methods of permanent hair removal. This method involves the insertion of a needle into the skin to reach the root of the hair follicle and sends an electrical pulse or radio wave through it. This electrocution helps in destroying the hair from the root if that particular hair follicle is in the active growth stage at the time of the treatment. The energy of the current destroys the hair follicle permanently thus preventing it from growing back. However, sometimes because the hair follicle is not in an active growth stage, then there are chances of the hair growing back.

Laser

This is a process of removing unwanted body hair with the use of the laser technology is known as Laser hair removal. This process includes the use of a gentle beam of concentrated light on the place of the body where there is unwanted hair. This laser beam reaches the hair follicles by passing through the skin and changes the generated energy to a heat that destroys the hair follicles. The use of Laser hair removal method was restricted only to the use of those with light skins and dark or grey hairs.

Flash lamp/IPL
