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.

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.

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.

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.

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. There is no need to change your hair care routine. However, you should tell your hairdresser that you are using Regaine? Regular Strength. To minimise breakage of existing hair, any massaging of your scalp should be gentle, and any comb used should have widely spaced, round teeth to avoid excessive pulling.

Electrology is the only dependable method of permanent hair removal. Temporary methods such as shaving, tweezing, depilatories, waxing and stringing require frequent time consuming maintenance. Skin irritations, ingrown hairs, discoloration, and scarring may result. These methods contribute to an increase in hair

Many unethical claims are being made that Laser has been approved as permanent by the FDA. Laser has not been approved for permanance! Don't take our word for it, here is a link to the FDA page spelling out the facts. According to the FDA, Laser is not not permitted to advertise as permanent or painless (Laser is extremely painful). What attracts people to laser is it's supposed speed. Laser, however often requires 5-8 treatments spaced 4-5 weeks apart from each other.

Yes, it is permanent in most people after a series of 6-8 treatments. The majority of clients will see significant reduction of hair as well as finer and thinner hairs after a series of treatments. It depends on the goal of hair removal. If you just want a reduction in the number and coarseness of the hair, two to four treatments may be all you desire. If you want significant clearance of hair it will take the typical 6-8 treatments.

Yes! This is also why you need at least four treatments. Hair grows in four different phases. The only hair that we can treat is that hair in the active growing phase. By using the laser for multiple treatments it ensures that we get every hair as it enters the growing phase. Hence permanent hair removal. No, ours is more advanced - the new generation. This is why it allows us to treat many more types of problems, as well as many different skin types.

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.

In many cases the animal is matted, has extremely thick hair, is excessively dirty or has other conditions which make shaving not only more difficult than a hair cut, but usually necessary. Stripping, especially a dirty, matted coat, also subjects clippers and blades to unusual wear and tear which can be costly to maintain or replace. In addition great care and extra time is required in an effort to shave the coat evenly and avoid cutting the skin with the clippers.

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.
