Illinois Laser Back Hair Removal

While waxing is the most used method for removing unwanted back hair, laser, or light-based, technology offers a longer lasting, less painful alternative for those who can afford the cost in time and money.

Unwanted Back Hair

Waxing is probably the most common way to remove unwanted back hair. It can be applied over large areas and does not require specialized training to perform. In this procedure, a layer of sticky wax is applied in the direction of growth. A cloth is placed over that and then ripped off against the growth pattern. Needless to say, it's a painful process that has to be repeated every few weeks.

A longer lasting procedure is laser treatment removal. Light is used to penetrate the skin, target melanin (found densely in the root bulb) and burn away the entire structure. The heat from the beam also damages the follicle, making it incapable of regenerating. Several treatments are necessary, because it only works when the structure is in the anagen, or new-growth, phase and not all unwanted back hair will be in the same stage of growth at the same time. After the required sessions (usually six to eight), though, the process permanently reduces the amount and rate of regrowth.
