Unwanted Hair

Unwanted Hair

Waxing, shaving, and the use of depilatory creams are well-established methods for hair removal, although temporary.

Hair Removal Treatments

These days, the most popular and most effective method for hair removal is the use of lasers that have been specifically designed to remove many hairs in a short time, and with little chance of complications. People are interested in laser hair removal because it involves new and efficient technology, and because its effects are permanent in most of its subjects.

There are many options available to remove unwanted hair, but few options to get rid of hair permanently. Whether it’s old-fashioned shaving, or the new treatment of laser hair reduction, you should chose a method or combination of methods that work best for you depending on cost, time available, skin type, and the desired hair-free area.

Hair Growth

Understanding how hair grows will help you keep hair from growing. Each hair is contained in a pilosebaceous unit, which consists of a hair shaft, hair follicle, sebaceous gland, and erector pili muscle. Hair growth and shedding is a continuous cycle through three phases. The anagen phase is the growth phase, the catagen phase is a transitional state, and the telogen phase is the resting phase. Hairs spend a variable amount of time in each phase determined by genetics, hormones, and area of the body. Hair in the anagen phase is more susceptible to injury than hair in the telogen phase. All of these factors must be considered when choosing a method of hair removal.
