Illinois Body Hair Removal

Body hair removal has been a part of health and beauty since the earliest days of civilization. Egyptians would shave their body hair to prevent parasitic infection, and the aesthetic standard they set is still with us today. Professional hair removal services now make use of effective and permanent techniques to get rid of unsightly body hair for good.

Among the most advanced methods is laser hair removal, which has existed for some time, but which first became available for commercial use in the 1990s. The process involves a laser device pressed to the skin, which sends the beam beneath the epidermal layer to the hair follicles, which are rendered incapable of re-growing the hair. It usually takes several treatments and the laser can sting a bit, though adherents claim that the discomfort is worth it to get rid of the pain of plucking and waxing.

Laser Hair Removal in Chicago Is Getting Easier

Different types of lasers can be used for the treatment in the Chicago area, including the Cynosure Elite and the Soprano. They work best against dark hair on light skin, which the laser can recognize more readily than darker skin or lighter hair. Improper treatment, while not severely dangerous, can cause burns and skin discoloration, which is why professional hair removal services are important for those seeking such treatment. NuU Medspa has a number of locations in the Chicago area--including Skokie, Schaumberg, and Lincoln Park in Chicago itself--that can provide professional laser hair removal to its clients.
