Hair removal is a very common practice among both men and women. Over a period of time, there are more salons and spas that cater for removal of hairs. The majority of people opt for the conventional procedures such as plucking, shaving and waxing. The downside with these techniques is that you would still need to repeat them every once in a while. In considering permanent hair removal Newnan residents can benefit from a number of tips.

In actual sense, permanent hair removal can be defined as the ability to stay without the unnecessary hairs for a period of 12 months without you needing to shave, pluck or wax. Thus while it will not be permanent, it means you do not have to shave in the course of that period. There are not many techniques that can be used. Besides that, people react differently to treatments.

One of the techniques that can be used is electrolysis. It is the method that many people use for permanent removal. For this method, there is the use of a minute metal probe which gets inserted into each follicle of hair. There are electric pulses that are delivered through probes which will damage roots of hairs and in the process leave the skin unaffected. The process may sound very scary but if it is done in the right way, the skin will not be punctured.

The process of electrolysis and the feeling involved is similar to a stinging sensation, not really pain. The feeling involved is subjective. Moreover, there will be other such side effects as irritation of the skin and inflammation. Anybody that is seeking to go for the procedure will need to do thorough research and in addition ask for recommendations from friends or workmates. It is best to go for treatment after knowing what is involved.

The other option involves using lasers to remove unwanted hairs. It is the stiffest competitor to electrolysis and is popular too. In this procedure, there is first application of anesthetic creams to areas that are affected. Lasers produce light beams with very high energy. Each wavelength produces beams with energy. There is absorption of the lasers by pigments within hair follicles. You will need to go for a number of treatments spaced between 8 and 12 weeks apart.

In order to fully benefit from the procedure, you should get a professional with many years experience. As compared to electrolysis, the procedure is less costly, faster and comes with less pain. It never however works well for light-colored hair. There are some side effects and complications that one should expect. The most common are swelling of treated areas, itching and redness. Most of them are temporary.

The other procedure is known as IPL. It is a non-invasive option and works best for people with fair skins and dark hairs. It involves the use of high energy lamps that use specific light wavelengths so that pigments in the follicles absorb them. The high energy lamps also minimize any trauma to the skin.

The method to use will depend on an individual. It is a choice that should be discussed with your physician to make the right decision. Most importantly, it is necessary that one has realistic expectations.
