In the past, the usual remedies for unwanted hair were plucking, shaving, chemical depilatories, waxing, or electrolysis. Some are painful, some are messy, and all are only temporary except electrolysis. However, there are other issues associated with electrolysis. SHAVING- Shaving is the most common method of hair removal. Virtually everyone owns a razor, but shaving only lasts a few days and requires a constant commitment to maintain a hair-free appearance.

Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods that must be repeated on a regular basis. Hair removal with EpiLight TM offers a faster and easier alternative to existing hair removal methods. The years and years of people dealing with plucking, shaving, electrolysis and waxing are over -- after the EpiLight treatment, large areas of hair are gone with great results.

There are other methods of removing your hair, but as in everything, they each have advantages and disadvantages. In my opinion, shaving is the easiest and cheapest method of hair removal, and the other available methods each have serious drawbacks that would prevent most people from using them. There's an article here which offers more details about the different possible methods of hair removal.

This is a statement commonly made by doctors who lack sufficient experience, or technique, in performing large sessions. The amount of hair needed for the average large session is well within the safe limits of what can be moved, provided that the procedure is done properly. It is the experience and judgment of the surgeon that will insure that the amount of hair that is harvested from the donor area is safe and appropriate.

Yes, most of Mold-Checks recommendations are for cleaning and the improvement of ventilation rather than remediation. Many times, mold and mildew growth in a structure such as in older buildings (homes, apartments or condos) in bathrooms, bedrooms and closets is due to poor ventilation. These are things like the lack of proper bathroom mechanical exhaust vent fans or the lack of central heating and cooling filtration system.

The reasons for this are the strength of the hair, and the width of the follicle. If your follicles are wide, there is a greater chance of blood coming to the surface. Apply a cold, wet, clean cloth to the area, and press firmly. This disappears after a couple of hours. Our Bikini Relief™ Gel also offers excellent benefits for this reaction.

The energy from the light source is absorbed by the target chromophore (melanin) in the hair. Selective filtration makes the energy uptake specific for melanin (600 - 950 nm). Hair removal is accomplished by absorption of the light energy in the melanin in the hair, which is then transferred to the hair follicle. Pulse times have been chosen to destroy the hair follicle by heating it up to 70? C for more than 1 ms.

No. There is absolutely no reputable scientific evidence that shows any other method of hair removal being as safe, effective and permanent as electrolysis for all hair colors and skin tones.

Laser vs. Electrology: While laser promoters compare laser to electrology, although some laser devices have been cleared for permanent reduction, laser assisted hair removal is considered a temporary method of hair removal. Additionally, laser hair removal has not been evaluated for long-term safety of the patient's skin and health....etc. Electrology is The Permanent Choice. Waxing and threading will remove all of the visible hair, but can result in skin problems including ingrown hair.

Electrolysis - This is Gold Standard. It's the Only Type of Permanent Hair Removal that works for Everyone.

Electrology is a proven permanent method for hair removal. It is a hair-by-hair treatment that requires a needle to be inserted into the hair follicle. The needle emits both heat and electricity to disable the hair. Electrology requires regular treatments (at least every three weeks) for several years. With the laser, we can treat a much larger area (up to the size of a quarter) in a much shorter time period (6-8 months) without the discomfort of a needle.

Yes, this can be achieved by having only a few treatments instead of full course of 6-8 treatments. It is important to find an experienced laser operator who is careful not to miss spots during treatments for an even reduction. Also, it's recommended to wait at least 12 weeks between treatments to be able to correctly assess the amount of reduction achieved at any point. The laser: Make sure that the laser being used is best for your skin and hair type. Do not fall for "marketing hype".

There seems to be a lot of confusion with this one! Your natural hair sheds on a daily basis as part of a natural process.

While laser promoters compare laser to electrology it is actually not a permanent form of hair removal. Only a few laser devices have been cleared to claim a permanent reduction in hair by the FDA. Intense Pulsed Light (IPG) though often called laser, is NOT a true laser and not approved by the FDA to claim any efficacy. Electrology is cleared for permanent removal of hair. All laser assisted hair removal is considered a temporary or long lasting method of hair removal.

Until now, electrolysis has provided the only long term method for the elimination of unwanted hair. During electrolysis, a needle is inserted into each hair follicle. Removing one hair at a time, this process is tedious. It can take months or years of treatments to achieve a satisfactory result. The effectiveness is also dependent on the skill of the Electrologist. Shaving is the most common method of hair removal.

Hair removal lasers have been in use since 1997 and the Food and Drug Administration approved it for "permanent reduction." They permanently disable hair follicles, however you have to remember that laser hair removal doesn't work in the same way on everyone and doesn't remove 100% of the hair in an area. Generally, this means that you shouldn't expect to remove every single hair from an area, although you can remove the majority of it.

Shaving, waxing, and depilatory creams are all temporary methods which must be repeated on a frequent basis. The CoolGlide offers permanent hair reduction for lasting results.

Electrolysis has the advantage of being the only permanent method.Even laser treatments are not effective on all hairs. Although lasers may reduce the number of hairs, the hairs are not always completely destroyed even after several treatments. Waxing and tweezing tend to strengthen the hair root, resulting in darker, thicker regrowth, which may often become ingrown.

Type the number of the port in which you want to store the library in. 0 is appropriate if you do not have any expansion cards. Sometimes you have to purge the variable containing the library before storing it in a port, if you are low on memory. See the next question for more information. If you have FXRECV installed: Just type a port number, hit FXRECV and the library will automatically go into the specified port.

You must completely release the adhesive or tape from bonding to your scalp before attempting to remove your unit. Remove with a lace release remover. It may not solve the problem 100%.

The most common error made with a cream depilatory is that it is left on too long or not long enough. Additionally, a thick layer of NAIR® cream needs to be applied to cover hair completely for more efficient removal. Everyone's hair and skin are unique and may vary periodically due to hormonal cycles and other reasons. Test each time before using a full application following the directions. With practice you can easily identify when hair is ready to be washed off.
