THE PROS AND CONS OF DR JOHN JOHNSON LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Hair removal, sometimes called epilation or stripping, is the intentional removal of facial or body hair. This often occurs when women are pregnant, undergoing plastic surgery, shaving or waxing. Hair removal is most common for the face and legs, but can occur on other areas of the body, including arms, underarms, chest, bikini line and upper back. It is usually performed by a licensed and experienced professional who has experience in this area. There are two basic types of hair removal techniques. These include laser hair removal and electrolysis.
Laser 脫毛 is often the procedure used to remove unwanted hairs. The laser is aimed at the hair follicle causing the hairs to fall out. It removes the hair from the root by using a special laser device that destroys the root and prevents hairs from growing back. Some of the hairs may grow back and some will not. For many people, the experience is unpleasant and leaves them with a shaving rash.
Electrolysis is a much simpler process that does not require lasers. Electrolysis is done by applying an electrical current to the skin where the hair is. This is done by a trimmer like device that makes small punctures in the skin to deliver the electric current. As the current travels through the skin it vaporizes the moisture in the hair follicle causing the hairs to fall out. However, this can leave a redness and irritation for a few days after treatment.
There are many other forms of hair reduction procedures that do not require lasers or other devices. Shaving and waxing are very popular for reducing facial and body hair. You can buy depilatory creams to apply to your skin for these treatments. Some of the treatments involve the use of hot and cold temperatures to increase the rate of hair reduction.
The most effective and the latest in hair reduction technology is the true laser removal. This procedure removes the hair from the root using a pulsed light. The light that the laser emits is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle so there is no danger of damage to the skin. The heat generated during the removal of the hair causes the follicle to shut down.
Unlike electrolysis and laser treatments, this method also does not destroy the melanin in the skin. Many people are worried about the effects of melanin in the skin. Melanin is responsible for pigmentation such as the coloring in the skin. While there is some discoloration after treatment, it is usually minimal. In fact, people that have very light or dark skin tones often benefit from Dr Johnson's treatments.
The major benefit of this treatment is that there is no pain or swelling of the area that has been treated. A minor discomfort during the treatment is also experienced. The lasers used in Dr Johnson's treatments are safe and efficient. Patients can expect to get results after several treatments. One to two weeks is generally required for this type of removal. It takes about a week to grow out new hair follicles so results are normally evident in just a few months of treatment.
Another pro is that this process is relatively inexpensive compared to electrolysis and other methods. For large areas, this may be the best way to remove unwanted hair. Laser treatments cost up to several thousand dollars while electrolysis can require multiple treatments. Cost can
be an important consideration. However, many patients do not consider this factor. With all of the cons and the benefits, it is easy to see why this treatment is becoming more popular.
