Unwanted Hair: Effective Solutions for Long-Term Hair Reduction
Understanding the Causes of Unwanted Hair
The first step in addressing unwanted or excessive hair growth is identifying its root cause. In many cases, genetics, hormonal imbalances, or conditions such as Hirsutism—which results from elevated levels of male hormones—can lead to unwanted hair on areas like the face, chest, back, and other body parts. Hirsutism is especially concerning for women when hair appears in traditionally male-patterned areas, such as the chin, upper lip, torso, or back. While common, this condition can be distressing and impact self-confidence.
Laser Hair Removal: A Leading Solution
Laser hair removal is one of the most advanced and effective ways to achieve long-term hair reduction. It is a fully developed procedure capable of permanently reducing hair on the face, underarms, bikini lines, legs, and back. Modern laser technologies are safe, versatile, and suitable for various skin types and hair colours—excluding red, grey and white.
Types of Laser Hair Removal Treatments
At Skin Renewal, we offer a variety of laser treatments that cater to all skin types and hair colours, ensuring optimal results for each case. Our treatment options include:
ND Yag Laser (CoolGlide Excel): Ideal for darker skin tones, this laser safely and effectively reduces unwanted hair on African and Asian skin.
Prowave™: This treatment delivers results for many skin types and effectively removes facial and body hair.
Tips for Optimal Laser Hair Removal Results
To maximise the effectiveness of your laser hair removal treatment, here are some essential guidelines to follow:
Opt for clinics that use Class 4 medical lasers rather than entry-level IPL devices. These lasers provide deeper penetration and more reliable results.
Avoid waxing or plucking before your treatment. Ensure the hair is in the shaft so the laser can effectively target and destroy the hair's germ cells. Plucking or waxing removes the hair from the follicle, reducing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Before your laser session, it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure. Sunlight increases the skin’s sensitivity and can require your practitioner to lower the laser intensity, resulting in less effective treatments.
Ingrown hairs, a common issue for many, can be safely and effectively treated within two sessions using the ND:Yag CoolGlide.
