What Makes Laser An Effective Hair Removal Treatment?

Getting rid of body hair is a troublesome task. All the methods like waxing, plucking, shaving are ways to make body parts look smooth, but none of these offer a permanent solution. They have to be repeated consistently to maintain the results.

However, thanks to the laser technique, there is now a permanent solution available to this problem. 

Laser hair removal for women
In the last couple of years, laser has become a preferred non-surgical method in the US for treating body hairs. This process entails throwing a laser beam on the skin. The melanin also known as pigment present in hair follicles absorbs the beam. This process is applicable on almost every body part. Starting from chin to toes, it can remove hair from almost every part of the body.

Laser hair removal in Manhattan is workable on people with almost every skin color and all types of hair. However, it gives best results to people who have lighter skin tone and darker hair. It provides almost permanent results and can destroy up to 80% of growth on the area that is to be treated. Even if they do grow back, they will be extremely fine and light in color, which makes them almost unnoticeable.

People should know that this treatment is offered by many independent practitioners at spas, walk in clinics, beauty salons and even at shopping malls. However, it is critical to select an expert practitioner for the best results. Make sure that the treatment is performed under the supervision of an expert dermatologist.

Typically, it requires three or more than three sittings to achieve permanent reduction in the growth. If you have darker hair, the laser will work to the maximum advantage of yours, by giving best possible results. Although light colored hairs are least responsive to laser, practitioners apply topical medications with a view to increase its effectiveness.

Patients who are planning on undergoing this treatment are advised to avoid any form of skin treatment such as sunless tanners, or any other treatment weeks before the laser. The amount of hair removed per sitting will vary depending on which body part is being treated. Areas where skin is thin such as bikini area and armpits usually respond better to laser compared to thick-skinned body parts such as chin and back.

Endermologie – a non-invasive and safe way to treat cellulite

Endermologie or more commonly referred to as LPG treatment has been designed to help people get rid of cellulite. This technique is excellent for contouring body parts and achieving the desired shape.

LPG can smooth the skin and improve the physical appearance of any body part. This treatment causes no pain at all, and in fact induces a feel good experience. It works by manipulating the connective tissues and by stimulating blood circulation and lymphatic system.

Take a look at what this procedure entails:

During an LPG Treatment in NYC, a machine that has roller like head is used on the area to be treated by putting pressure on it. The motorized rolls are applied on the entire body. The rollers manipulate underlying tissues. The deep massaging by the machine stimulates circulation beneath the skin layers.

The rollers increase the blood circulation by 200%. As the body parts get massaged, it begins to cleanse the body part internally via lymphatic drainage by folding and unfolding of the skin, eventually smoothing it. As the skin quality is improved, stretch marks are treated and the texture gets better.

Normally the patient undergoing this treatment is required to get one to two Endermologie therapy sessions in one week. This patented technique is extremely safe to use, and has no side effects. Unlike other surgical procedures, LPG is non-invasive in nature.

Many people who underwent this procedure got the desired results within a few weeks only. However, the results also depend on the body part that is being treated, and whether some additional treatment is also being used in conjunction. 

Other factors that may affect the outcomes would be general health, age, diet, and exercise. The LPG treatment is approved by FDA and is a well-accepted method for getting rid of cellulite as well as treating muscle spasm, pain and aches.

The FDA has also approved this procedure for body contouring. It has been accepted as an effective way of treating muscle soreness and increasing blood flow.

LPG is also recommended for treating stretch marks and scars by increasing the production of elastin and collagen and by increased circulation. It can also tighten the sagging skin, which is followed by pregnancy.
