Arizona Hair Removal

Hair removal is always a concern in warm climates like Arizona: men and women alike want to look their best when the weather is warm, and excessive facial or body hair can be a distraction. Shaving, waxing and plucking are traditional solutions, as are creams and gels designed to dissolve away hairs. Those methods are inexpensive, but last only a few days or weeks, and in the case of waxing, can be quite painful to boot.

Electrolysis and laser surgery offer more long-term methods of hair removal. Electrolysis targets individual hairs by running a needle into the follicles at the root and jolting them with electricity. Laser hair removal methods adopt a wider approach by targeting the melanin in growing hair. The laser light is calibrated to match the hair's pigmentation and damage it at the root without breaking the skin. Electrolysis methods tend to be permanent, but can be very slow and exceedingly uncomfortable. Laser surgery is a less permanent form of hair removal, but most patients still report hair loss of up to 80 percent, with results lasting for years.

Different Hair Removal Results Come From Different Methods

Electrolysis tends to work best on relatively small parts of the body, such as the upper lip or the back of the neck, where it can treat individual hairs more effectively. Laser hair removal works well on larger areas like the back, but can also perform hair removal on smaller parts of the body as well. NuU Medspa has branches across Arizona and offers free consultations on its laser hair removal programs.
