Arizona Permanent Hair Removal Systems

Hair removal systems that offer permanent results include electrolysis or laser surgery. Electrolysis treats hairs individually by inserting a needle into the follicle and zapping it with electricity. The process is very slow and often uncomfortable, but the results are permanent. As a system, electrolysis works best on limited areas of skin, such as under the arms or on the upper lip.

Laser surgery is less permanent, though results still last for years and some patients do report permanent hair removal. The system is far more painless than electrolysis and can treat larger hair patterns more easily. The laser is calibrated to a specific wavelength, which matches the pigmentation in your unwanted hair. It fires at the hair follicle and inhibits the hair's ability to regrow. Because it needs to focus on the hair and not the surrounding skin, there should be a high amount of contrast between the pigmentation--dark hair on light skin works best. But lasers calibrated to a higher wavelength, coupled with experienced technicians, can treat lighter hair of blonde or red successfully, as well as clients with darker skin.

Patients report hair loss in the 50 to 80 percent range following laser surgery. The hair falls away during the treatment system, which lasts anywhere from three to eight sessions. It usually stays away for several years and if it does return, it is much thinner and lighter. Permanent hair removal is not unusual, though it cannot be guaranteed in all cases. The NuU Medspa in Scottsdale has a free consultation program about its laser hair removal options.
