Arizona Permanent Hair Removal

Shaving and waxing are cheap and relatively easy, but permanent hair removal means resorting to more extensive treatments. Electrolysis employs electrical shocks inserted into individual hair follicles through a needle. It kills the hair and prevents it from returning. The treatment is permanent, but it can be very time consuming, since each hair must be targeted one by one. It also tends to be rather uncomfortable.

Laser hair removal can be permanent as well (though less reliably so), and it offers a number of benefits over electrolysis. It can treat wider patches of body hair, and the process tends to be much less painful. The laser light is calibrated to zero in on the pigmentation in your hair and disable the follicle at the root. Because it needs to differentiate between the melanin in your hair and the melanin in your skin, the method works best in high contrast: brown or black hair against very light skin. Patients with dark skin and/or lighter hair are more of a challenge to treat, but a variety of lasers calibrated to higher wavelengths, coupled with an experienced technician who can operate them correctly, makes treatments in those circumstances effective as well.

The NuU Medspa in Chandler, Arizona, Offers Laser Hair Removal

Patients must undergo a series of sessions for permanent hair removal, spaced several weeks apart. Each session treats new hair as in grows in, until the entire area has been treated. Loss of 60 to 80 percent of hair in the treated area is typical, and permanent hair loss is possible in some patients.
