Chicago Hair Removal

It's the process of using a high-energy, pulsed light device. The laser frequency is calibrated to target the darker part of the hair follicle. This light will penetrate through the skin and damage and destroy the hair follicle. But, it can only be effective if it targets the follicle during it's growth cycle. You see, hair grows in 3 different stages but can only be damaged during the first stage... which is the growth stage.

The laser is calibrated to correspond to what the doctor or technician has determined is your skin type by using the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing Scale. You should be asked a series of questions that will guide them to the correct Skin Type.

Both men and women are utilizing the laser hair removal process these days to become hair free! Men for the most part get hair removal for a couple main reasons... One is it gives them a sense of cleanliness, not only for them but for their partners. Second, because it can be very embarrassing to have to ask someone to help shave their backs! Yep... that would be a tough one.. Of course these aren't the only reasons -- there is always the need of athletes... gaining just a few fractions of a second in their chosen sport may be the difference between a Win or a Loss!

For some people, laser hair removal is permanent. Others will experience permanent hair reduction. The FDA has named laser hair removal as permanent hair reduction as it's not always permanent for all peoples. With hair reduction you will experience much slower hair growth and the hair will be a lot finer then before.

While there have been great advances in laser technology over the years, people with darker skin can still be very hard to treat and can run into complications if not treated properly. The best beat for darker skinned people is the use of the Nd:YAG laser. It has a wider light distribution which helps reduce possible problems.

So... What does it feel like? That is a question that has to be answered by each person individually. The majority say that it feels like a small rubber-band snapping on the skin. Others get the sensation of a light pinch. If the pain get to be too much or to uncomfortable the technician or doctor can administer a mild anesthetics.

I think effectiveness is actually relative... it depends on what your concept of effective is. If you hate shaving your legs, underarms, upper lip, chin and maybe sideburns, then yes laser hair can be very effective. It also depend on how much pain you can actually tolerate! Do you enjoy those cuts and nicks each day during your shaving routine? How long does it take for the bleeding to stop and have you ruined that hundred dollar blouse because you cut your underarm and didn't have enough time for it to quit bleeding? If any of those are your concerns then yes, laser hair removal is very effective. Why? because you don't have to shave anymore... no shaving... no cuts or nicks! No more ruined shirts or pants from bleeding. One great reason to get laser hair removal is that you can get almost every part of your body treated! Really, the only area you can't and don't want to get treated is your eyes. As more and more women see the benefit of laser hair removal it's becoming more acceptable by men as well!

Not only are a lot more men opting for laser hair removal but so are more athletes. Now, that may sound strange but for swimmers, biker and runners the less friction the better! It may only be a fraction of a second but just ask that swimmer who came in second to Micheal Phelps... i bet he wished he had just a couple more fractions of a second and he'd have won. Now, i don't know if he is or was hairless but you get my point. Very competitive people can actually gain the little extra with laser hair removal!

One thing you should do is get a free consultation and discuss all of your questions with a medical spa physician and/or technician. They, being certified and trained, will have all the answers to your questions.

Did you know that dermatologist actually caterogize people by their skin type? I didn't%u2026 Why you might ask? Because (especially if they are using laser hair removal) the machines they use are calibrated by your skin type.

So what are the skin types? Well, first let me tell you a little about who discovered them.

A gentleman by the name of Dr. Thomas B. Fitzpatrick of Harvard medical school developed this rating scale in 1975. What he found was that almost all people, when exposed to the sun could be grouped into 1 of 6 different groups. These are labeled Skin Type I-VI.

Skin Type I: This group usually consists of people who have very pale skin and are very sensitive to the sun. This skin type always burns when they are out in the sun. Eye and hair color seems to be an indicator as well. Those with red or blond hair and blue/hazel eyes usually are of type I skin. Also, people with numerous freckles or are albino.

Skin Type II: Skin of this type is usually very sensitive to the sun and burns easily. There is none to very little tanning with this skin type. Most people with fair skin and blue eyes would be characterized as having skin type II. But they do make good candidates for laser hair removal as the lasers can discern between the skin and the darker hair follicle!

Skin Type III: Darker white skin will normally fall into this group. They are sensitive to the sun and will sometimes burn. They do tan but is a slow tan and the skin will become a light brown color. Examples of this skin type would be people of European mix and darker Caucasians.

Skin Type IV: People with this skin type normally have a darker skin color and they are minimally affected by the sun. There is very little sun burning and they readily tan to a medium brown. This is a very large group of people in our society and they usually are part of one of these heritages: American Indian, Hispanic, Mediterranean, Asian or European. You see%u2026 this is definitely a large part of our population today.

Skin Type V: Skin Type V: Brown skin%u2026 The person with this skin type usually is not sensitive to the sun and they will very rarely get sun burns. Their skin also tans very well to a medium or dark brown. Most people that are in this skin type are Hispanic, Middle Eastern or Afro-American.

Skin Type VI: Skin Type VI: The last but not the least is the skin type that is not sensitive to the sun at all and it never sun burns. This skin has a very dark pigmentation and is usually from Afro-American, Middle Eastern or African heritage.

I guess you are probably wondering why I'm telling you this%u2026 It's because when you go to get laser hair removal whether it's in Chicago or another city, they should have you fill out a questionnaire. This questionnaire is what's used to determine you Fitzpatrick Skin Type. This is important because the technician will use your skin type to help set up the laser's energy level! The laser needs to pass through your Skin and target the hair follicle underneath. Now you can see why it's a good thing thing to know your skin type. You can ask intelligent questions of your technician and hopefully understand his answers when he talks about your skin type of how he came up with your skin type using the Fitzpatrick Skin Typing!

Well, there are basically 3 types of hair that grows on the human body. This does not include color, length, diameter or thickness.

1. Lanugo: This type will develop and start growing on the unborn child. About 3 months after the child has been conceived this hair starts to grow. This very fine and soft and grows all over the child's body while he/she grows in the womb. Lanugo all grows at the same time and rate so all these hairs are the same length. About 4 weeks before birth, this type will start to be shed.

2. Vellus: These are very short and will usually measure only 1 to 2 centimeters long. One thing very distinctive about this type of hair is that the follicles for these do not have oil glands. The follicles of this type will never generate hair of any other type. When an adolescent reaches puberty there is an increase in androgenic hormone levels. This increase in hormones will cause the vellus hair to be replaced. Terminal hair will take their place on the body.

3. Terminal: The last type is called terminal. This is your long hair and it usually grows on the head, arms, legs and body. Terminal type can vary among different parts of the body. Your pubic and underarm areas are generally the areas with the thickest grouping other than the head. All the follicles of this type have what's called sebaceous glands. This gland is what's responsible for lubricating the shaft. It's made up of waxes and fats that help to protect the hair. It is secreted via little ducts and is found all over the human body.

Most of the hair that you get removed when you visit a laser hair removal medical spa is of the Terminal type. And, depending on your skin type, determined by Fitzpatrick Skin typing, the technician working with you will select the appropriate laser machine to use.

This darker terminal type is what makes it possible for laser hair removal to work. The laser will target the dark melanin of the follicle and destroy it with its heat energy. As long as the color of the melanin is darker than the skins' you should have very good results with your removal treatments. That's why it's important to get your skin typed correctly and for the technician to consult with you.

Though you actually have 3 different types of hair on your body from just after conception, you mainly have terminal hair as an adult. If you have this hair in places it's really not wanted, look into Chicago laser hair removal as a permanent removal solution.
