Transgender Hair Removal

Permanent hair removal is very necessary for the male-to-female transsexual. Instead of having to deal with recurring hair growth, you should consider laser hair removal.

Hair growth for male to female transgender and transsexual people can be a giveaway. The five-o-clock shadow is a big no-no. It is absolutely essential to try to have smooth hair-free skin. Electrolysis can work, but it does take a lot of time, and when you are trying to remove large amounts of hair, time and the pain factor become important.

Laser hair removal can be performed on almost any part of the body and is less painful than other forms of hair removal such as waxing or electrolysis. Laser removal can be done in as little as a few minutes, depending on the part of the body and can be a cost-effective way to achieve permanent hair-free status. The back, chest, arms and face are areas where laser hair removal is commonly performed. When you are changing gender from a male to a female you will want to be free of all unwanted hair on your body.

There's no guarantee the hair won't come back, but laser hair removal does extend the period of time in which the hair is gone. You will be on the road to feeling and looking a lot more feminine with laser hair removal.

Face Hair Removal with laser hair treatment

Both men and women can benefit from laser hair removal for various areas of the face.

Women: unwanted facial hair can be a huge source of embarrassment for women — but it doesn't have to be. Removing facial hair with lasers is a fast, easy and more comfortable alternative to other methods such as waxing or electrolysis. The procedure can take as little as 10 minutes per treatment and you don't need to grow out the hair for it to be effective.

Men: men who dislike shaving can also benefit from laser facial hair removal. In addition to eliminating the need to shave every day, laser hair treatments can also be used to give men a tidier appearance by reducing the amount of hair in areas such as their eyebrows. (It should be noted that special care must be taken when using lasers around the eyes.)

Laser hair removal also will prevent irritation and the development of folliculitis, in which one or more hair follicles become inflamed.

Laser hair removal is quick, easy and less painful than other treatment options. Several sessions will be necessary, but you'll find the treatment long-lasting. As they age, some patients may decide to use laser to treat new facial hair as it develops.

Because laser hair removal of the upper lip, chin, and eyebrows involves such a small area, prices are often more reasonable than for other, larger, areas of the body.

Men and Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has become increasingly popular for men who have excessive hair on their backs, chests or legs. Athletes, in particular, may opt for laser hair removal as a way to do better in their respective sports. Many men also opt to have laser hair removal before getting tattoos on their chest or back.

Many men opt for laser hair removal because they're tired of waxing, shaving, electrolysis, tweezing, trimming, and the like. Laser hair removal can be a cost-effective, relatively painless and effective way of achieving permanent hair reduction in areas where it is unwanted.

Keep in mind that results depend on your skin color and hair color, so be sure to find out first if you are a good candidate for the procedure. Men who have light skin and black or dark brown hair have the best resul

Back Hair Removal

Back hair removal can be a real lifestyle and health benefit. As anyone with back hair knows, it's not pretty, and it can even increase body odor. Sometimes back hair can irritate the skin, making it itchy and, in some cases, causing infection. Laser removal for men and, in particular, back hair removal is a good option for several reasons:

• First, laser hair removal, while not fool-proof, offers a more permanent method than others (such as shaving, waxing and creams) which have various limitations. The back, for example, is hard to reach, making shaving on your own difficult. Waxing, meanwhile, can irritate the skin (not to mention that it's rather painful).
• Many athletic men enjoy the benefits of laser hair removal to achieve better results in their respective sports. What's more, athletes may not want to bury their attractive muscles underneath a thick coating of hair — so back hair removal is a viable option.
• Laser hair removal for back hair is not perfect, but there are advantages.
  • One laser session can cover the whole back and, in four to six treatments, patients will see significant results that will be further improved with continued treatments.
  • Even men with thicker, coarse hair can see results through laser hair removal. This is particularly important to people who find the hair on their back irritating.

Laser hair removal treatments

Laser hair removal treatments are performed in your doctor's office by a nurse or a trained technician. Most sessions will last anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes depending on the size of area treated. Treatments are associated with mild discomfort, similar to a small rubber band snapping against skin. The discomfort is well tolerated when small areas are treated, but if large areas are treated, discomfort may interfere with the procedure. Discomfort can be minimized by the use of ice immediately prior to the laser application. Laser hair removal sessions usually do not require sedatives, pain medications, or injections of local anesthetic because of the low level of pain associated with the treatment. You may return to work immediately after treatment.

Unlike waxing, you may shave immediately prior to your laser hair removal. Anticipate that your treated skin may turn pale purple, and this will persist for several days. Some areas may scab and blister temporarily.

Hair Laser Removal

Lasers are a popular procedure for the rapid, gentle removal of unwanted hair. The laser causes controlled damage to hair follicles, causing them to go into shock temporarily. While in shock, the follicles do not generate hair. About three to six treatments are recommended over three years for the best results. Hair will eventually return but may not do so for 2-4 months in most people (really lucky people will go for 6-12 months without re-growth). When hair returns, it is usually thinner and lighter, with (typically) 75% reduction in hair growth. Arrested hair growth following six treatments has been reported but should not be expected.

Laser Facial Hair Removal

Laser facial hair removal is a great solution for men and women that deal with unwanted facial hair on a daily basis. For men, shaving everyday becomes a nuisance, but the only alternative is scruffy, stubbly skin. For women, the embarrassment of visible facial hair on the chin, cheeks, upper lip and in between the eyes can become increasingly distressing. Laser facial hair removal is a fantastic alternative to temporary facial hair removal methods.

Female Laser Facial Hair Removal:

Women who have naturally dark hair are often embarrassed by their visible facial hair. Many women use temporary hair removal methods such as shaving, tweezing and waxing to remove the unwanted hair, but these are not permanent solutions. Laser facial hair removal procedures are the easiest for women because their facial hair is naturally finer and thinner when compared to other unwanted hair on the body. A few quick, easy sessions can reduce or completely remove visible facial hair.

Male Laser Facial Hair Removal:

Shaving daily has become second nature to most men, but it can quickly become a hassle and an annoyance. Laser facial hair removal is quickly becoming more popular for male patients. Each treatment works to reduce the amount of unwanted hair on the face. After a few quick and easy treatments, most men will see a significant reduction of facial hai

Permanent Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal, when first introduced in the late 1990’s, was limited to light skinned individuals with dark hair. Efficient Laser Hair Removal was produced by Alexandrite and Diode lasers. Dark skinned individuals could not use these lasers for effective hair removal because early generation lasers were unable to distinguish between skin pigment and hair follicles, which led to the burning of those with darker skin. Today this has all changed. The advent of the new laser line, the YAG, and the re-invention of the IPL system has afforded excellent results for individuals with dark skin and dark hair.
