Arizona Hair Removal Solutions

People seeking permanent hair removal solutions have several options at their disposal. While prescription medicines (pills and topical solutions) work well for some people, their effects only last as long as treatment is continued. The most effective way to stop unwanted hair growth is to damage the follicles that grow it. Follicles are rooted beneath the surface of the skin, and cosmetic doctors have two major ways of reaching them and stopping their production.

The first is electrolysis. It's been around for 125 years, by far the longest of any modern hair removal technique. However, it is tedious, intrusive and, by some accounts, painful. The process consists of sending electric currents through micro-fine needles, past the skin and into the follicle to damage it.

The other common solution for long-term removal is laser therapy. This treatment harnesses intense pulsed light (IPL) technology to deliver blasts of high-frequency laser light to the follicle, crippling it. It is far less time-consuming than electrolysis, and is the technique of choice when a large surface area requires treatment. However, it is not suitable for all people. Interested parties should have a consultation session with a trusted medical professional and complete an assessment to determine how strong their candidacy is. Normally, the best candidates have:

  • A lifetime of good health
  • Low skin sensitivity
  • Fair skin
  • Dark features
