Painless Permanent Hair Removal

Painless permanent hair removal is now readily available with the use of laser technology. The days of suffering under yanks of wax strips and the pain of nicks and cuts are over. Both men and women can now opt for laser treatment, a safe and effective method of dealing with unwanted body growth. Lasers can be applied to any part of the body that needs treatment--legs, brows, lips, arms, backs and any other exposed area.

Laser treatment--technically known as selective photothermolysis--involves aiming a laser at the dark tissue that surrounds follicles just beneath the skin. The tissue is heated and safely destroyed by the laser in a way that is virtually painless and ensures long-lasting elimination of growth. The process is most effective for lighter-skinned people, since the heat of the laser is more effectively absorbed by dark tissue.

Painless Permanent Hair Removal Is an Increasingly Popular Method of Unwanted Hair Removal

The only other proven method of permanent growth elimination is electrolysis, but the procedure is slow and can be far from painless. It involves inserting a very thin needle into the follicle and applying an electrical charge, which deadens the tissue. Electrolysis is quite expensive compared to equally effective laser treatments and has fallen out of favor as a permanent hair-removal method in recent years.

NuU Medspa is a center for cosmetic treatments, with offices in the Southwest and Midwest. In addition to laser hair-removal services, it offers a variety of other cosmetic procedures, from Botox to chemical peels.
