Studies have shown that underarm hair growth is one of the fastest hair regeneration areas on the body! Can you beleive that? No wonder you’ve been going through so many razors and shaving cream this past year.

No More Shaving! Chicago Laser Hair Removal is Here to Help...

Underarm laser hair removal may be the final solution to your shaving nightmare routine. The FDA states that laser hair removal is a permanent hair reduction process but many women have found it to actually be a permanent solution.

One of the biggest benefits of laser hair removal is how much time you can save. I know, shaving under your arm doesn’t take all that much time but over the long haul if you add up all the time you spend shaving just your underarms… hmmm… you could be saving many DAYS of your life. Wouldn’t you rather spend those extra days you just saved on something like… a vacation? or more time with your loved ones? How about just more time for YOU!

Many laser hair removal medspas offer package deals to help you save more and more time. with additional areas to be treated, there will be some very nice savings as well. Just think about it… what price to put on 5 days of your life? Could money even buy those day back from you? What if i said (this is an example only!) “Hey… here’s $500.00… now you have one day less to live”… is it worth it to you? Time is very precious, how you decide to spend it is up to you… but for me… I’d rather spend it on a beach, playing sports or being with the ones I love rather than wasting my time in the shower with a razor!

Immediately after your laser hair removal treatment you want to check your skin for any abnormal reactions. Your skin will have some redness and possibly some swelling. Apply a cold compact to the area treated to help reduce any swelling and to help control any pain you may be experiencing.

By applying a skin lotion to your treated area, it will help keep you skin healthy and moist. You don’t really need a medicated cream and it may cause your skin to dry out in the process. Speak with you technician or doctor and have them recommend a lotion. Remember, they are professionals and deal with skin all day long. They have tried several types of lotions and should be able to recommend a few different types.

Taking a shower or bath after your treatments will cause no harm but when you are done and ready to dry yourself you’ll want to just pat lightly and not rub or scrub the water. Your skin will be sensitive and you don’t want to irritate it further with the rubbing.

Usually after 3-5 days, you can shave the area that was treated. You just want to make sure to avoid irritating the treated area as much as possible. Some shaving creams, gels and soaps can be harsh on your newly hair free area and might cause the skin to dry.

You will want to avoid tweezing, waxing and bleaching of your hair at all times. Remember… the way laser hair removal works is it will target the dark pigment of your hair follicle (at the root) and destroy it there. If that root is gone or it’s the same color as your skin the laser will not be effective and you’ll end up having to get more treatments!

Stay out of the sun as much as possible! You don’t want your skin to get exposed as it will be very suseptible to burning! If you do have to go outside and in the sun make sure you use the highest possible sunscreen you can find and limit your exposure time to the minimum!

Well, there are basically 3 types of hair that grows on the human body. This does not include color, length, diameter or thickness.

1. Lanugo: This type will develop and start growing on the unborn child. About 3 months after the child has been conceived this hair starts to grow. This very fine and soft and grows all over the child’s body while he/she grows in the womb. Lanugo all grows at the same time and rate so all these hairs are the same length. About 4 weeks before birth, this type will start to be shed.

2. Vellus: These are very short and will usually measure only 1 to 2 centimeters long. One thing very distinctive about this type of hair is that the follicles for these do not have oil glands. The follicles of this type will never generate hair of any other type. When an adolescent reaches puberty there is an increase in androgenic hormone levels. This increase in hormones will cause the vellus hair to be replaced. Terminal hair will take their place on the body.

3. Terminal: The last type is called terminal. This is your long hair and it usually grows on the head, arms, legs and body. Terminal type can vary among different parts of the body. Your pubic and underarm areas are generally the areas with the thickest grouping other than the head. All the follicles of this type have what’s called sebaceous glands. This gland is what’s responsible for lubricating the shaft. It’s made up of waxes and fats that help to protect the hair. It is secreted via little ducts and is found all over the human body.

Most of the hair that you get removed when you visit a laser hair removal medical spa is of the Terminal type. And, depending on your skin type, determined by Fitzpatrick Skin typing, the technician working with you will select the appropriate laser machine to use.

This darker terminal type is what makes it possible for laser hair removal to work. The laser will target the dark melanin of the follicle and destroy it with its heat energy. As long as the color of the melanin is darker than the skins’ you should have very good results with your removal treatments. That’s why it’s important to get your skin typed correctly and for the technician to consult with you.

Though you actually have 3 different types of hair on your body from just after conception, you mainly have terminal hair as an adult. If you have this hair in places it’s really not wanted, look into laser hair removal as a permanent removal solution.

Unwanted hair can be embarrassing and time-consuming to maintain whether you live in Chicago or another city. Over the years, endless methods have been applied to remove hair such as; waxing, shaving, depilatories, bad-odor creams, electrolysis and more. Have you ever thought of why there are so many methods to successfully or unsuccessfully, remove hair? Maybe it’s because none of them are a permanent fix.

Laser hair removal throughout Chicago and other metropolitan areas became available in mid-1990 but has been commercially practiced for 20 years. Since its arrival in dermatologists offices, medical spas and more; laser hair removal is widely accepted and the latest method of permanent hair removal. There are at least 5 reasons to look into laser hair removal, beside the fact that you could stand to thin out the back hair. Here are five great reasons to get started today:

It’s Permanent: Laser hair removal is permanent hair reduction. Through a series of treatments, the laser can damage the hair follicle which slowly prevents the follicle from growing hair. After a few treatments, the treated area of hair will either not grow back at all, or will be so fine that it virtually falls out. The series of treatments are special to every individual however; dark coarse hair responds best to lasers. Imagine no more shaving…ever!

Not as Costly: Messy shaving cream, razors, waxing at expensive salons, creams that can irritate your skin – besides the dreadful maintenance – it can be costly! Most women begin to notice hair on their legs and underarms when they hit puberty; 12, 13? Most men, probably the same. So imagine purchasing these products every few weeks just to get rid of one hair cycle until you return or purchase your next waxing appointment a few weeks later! It adds up! Invest once for permanent hair reduction with minimal or no touch-ups forever. Why wouldn’t you invest in laser hair removal?

Painless: Waxing and electrolysis can be painful. Ripping off hair? Electrical depilation? Ouch! Yes, electrolysis is permanent however; the pain can be unbearable which may prevent you from attending all of your appointment; which can result in failure to remove the hair. Laser hair removal can be uncomfortable but with technology of the cosmetic industry, many lasers are painless! Do your research and call dermatologists or medical spas that offer painless laser hair removal machines and free consultations. Make an appointment and find out of you’re a candidate today!

Save Time in the Shower: We all have dreaded it. For a woman, shaving your legs in the shower can take up to ten minutes! What about the bikini and the underarms? Every morning, we can spend the extra 10 – 15 minutes recovery in bed, that’s an extra 7 hours a month! Men usually have help shaving their backs or other areas; they can forgo the embarrassment and have a licensed professional take care of it in just 30 minutes a month or two.

No More Stubble: How many times have you draped your hand over leg and thought, “I just shaved yesterday?” Probably too often. Even though the hair is not seen to the naked eye, stubble can feel pretty sharp in bed snuggling up to the hubby or your loved one. Remove the hair, the stubble and embarrass once and for all.

So what are you waiting for? I could go on encouraging you to look into laser hair removal but I know with one consultation, you will be sold and shortly be hair-free. Visit a licensed medical aesthetician or dermatologist today and break free from alternatives that have wasted your time and money. If you live in Chicago seek out and find a reputable medical spa and they can provide treatments for you. Remember, you have 5 fabulous reasons why you should get laser hair removal whether you live in Chicago or anywhere else!

What a great feeling and talk about a confidence booster! Don’t you just hate having to worry about hairs peaking out down there or those awful red razor bumps? Well, getting laser hair removal for your bikini area may just be the solution you are looking for to remove those stray hairs!

The question is... Landing Strip or Totally Bare!

The bikini area is one of the easiest areas of the body to be treated and it can also be done in a snap! Usually it will only take about 10-20 minutes to get that perfect look you are wanting and the security of knowing that you will not have any friends peaking out. Laser hair removal is a perfect answer to your fears… the hardest part is figuring out what you want? A Landing Strip or Totally bare!

Put yourself at ease this summer and go hairless. Not only will you feel better about going out in your swim suit but you’ll also have the clean and fresh feel! As long as women have those thongs, frilly underwear and skimpy bikinis the search will continue for that perfect solution to be hair and maintenance free down under.

It’s all about choice and how comfortable you are with your grooming standards but wouldn’t it be great not having to worry if you brought that razor or the self-waxing kit along on your next trip. Take control of those worries; let laser hair removal be your friend and companion on your next beach walk.

With laser hair removal becoming so popular and more affordable everyday, I have run into a lot of people with all kinds of questions about the treatments and proceedures. Here are a few, some of the most common that I’ve heard:

1. What’s the Biggest Advantage of Laser Hair Removal?
Well, that’s a relative question i think… but i think it’s probably Body Parts! Sounds weird huh? lol… what i mean is that most of the body can become hair free! You can get your face, lip, chin, arms, chest, back, legs, bottom, pubic area all treated with laser hair removal. I know all those are available in Chicago and guessing they are treatable in other cities as well! I think the only area they can’t or don’t treat is the area very close to the eyes.

2. Does Laser Hair Removal Hurt?
For the most part, it’s relatively painless. But, i really depends on your pain threshold. It sort of feels like snapping a small rubber-band against your skin. The good news is that there are topical ointments that can be use to help reduce or even eliminate the small amount of pain! All spas are different and what they offer for pain reduction. If you are afraid of the small amount of pain… i would definitely ask your treatment provider what they recommend and how effective it really is…

3. Are There Side Effects?
Most people have very few and little side effects. These are usually redness and some swelling in and around the treated areas. This will only last for a couple days then everything is back to normal. If you have darker skin, please consult with you technician or spa doctor to go over what other side effect you may incurr after the treatment. Though rare, there can also be some small blistering of the skin in the treated area.

4. Will One Laser Hair Removal Treatment Work?
Not usually… as the hair on your body grows in different stages and for the treatments to work and do their job they have to target the ones in the Growing Stage. Since your hair doesn’t all grow at the same time, you will need multiple treatments to permanently reduce hair growth in that area. With the different treatments, you are targeting different hair follicles in the growth cycle.
