<\/b>Introduction<\/span><\/b><\/h4><\/div>\n\n

Hair on body areas, where they should not grow can be very irritating.<\/strong><\/p>\n

With professional laser hair removal, repeated shaving or depilation can be avoided. In addition, razor rash caused by these methods on the face, underarm, bikini line or intimate areas can also be avoided with permanent laser hair removal. The skin looks and feels smooth, supple and healthy.<\/p>\n

    The hair removal trend.<\/h3>\n

    Full or partial body hair removal has deep roots in various cultures around the world and was practiced to a large extent for hygienic reasons. There are even drawings from antiquity in which women are depicted with a depilated pelvic area.<\/p>\n

    The practice of partial or full hair removal still continues today. However, it has taken on new dimensions. Quite frequently individual regions such as only the underarms or pelvic area are dehaired. But removing all body hair is also common.<\/p>\n

    In modern times, to have or not have body hair is above all a question of practiced aesthetics and not necessarily hygiene and is subject to transitions in fashion.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Hair removal is mostly a question of personal aesthetics!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    In the last 2-3 years however, it has gained popularity and hair removal is once again proving to be a fashionable and social trend.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/span>\n\n

    There are hormonal conditions whereby patients suffer from excessive hair growth in areas not prone to have excess hair (masculine hair growth in women).<\/p>\n

    \n

    Male-patterned hair growth in women can be an indication of other diseases or conditions!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    There are also conditions such as inflammation of the hair roots, ingrown hairs and coccyx fistula, which can be triggered by increased hair growth. Laser hair removal helps with these conditions.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t

    <\/b>3.\tWhich areas of the body are suitable for permanent hair removal?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

    In principle, all unwanted hair can be permanently reduced by laser. Removal of unwanted hair is most frequently requested for the face, underarms, bikini line and complete or partial removal in the pelvic region. Men frequently undergo laser hair removal for the shoulders and back.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n

    Unwanted hair can be removed all over the body!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/span>\n\n

    <\/b>4.\tWhat is non-permanent and what is permanent hair removal?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

    When removing body hair, basic distinction is made between two different types of hair removal: <\/p>\n

    Non- permanent Hair Reduction<\/h3>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n

    Depilation<\/h4>\n

    This is the removal of hair on the surface of the skin. This is done by cutting, shaving, hair removal creams or burning. The hair follicle stays intact, and the hair grows back with the natural growth cycle. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n

    Epilation<\/h4>\n

    This is the removal of the entire hair inclusive of the root.<\/p>\n

    By pulling the hair by the root with sugaring (Halawa), waxing, threading, tweezers or with an epilator device, the hair bulb is not destroyed.<\/p>\n

    These are not permanent hair removal methods.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t

    \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n
    <\/div><\/div>\n\n

    Permanent Hair Reduction<\/h3>\n

    Only when the hair bulb is damaged, be it by electro-, or nowadays mostly by photoepilation (light energy), is permanent hair reduction achieved.<\/p>\n

    Photoepilation for long lasting hair reduction is furthermore the correct term for treatment with light energy for the reduction of hair growth.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Only with laser light or electrolysis can the hair follicle be damaged!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    Terms such as permanent laser hair removal, long lasting body hair removal with laser, hair removal device for permanent freedom from unwanted hair, hair remover or hair free laser can be misleading because complete and forever permanent hair removal is unrealistic. These \u201cterms\u201d however, have become customary references for permanent reduction with light energy and are therefore also used here for simplification.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<\/a><\/span>\n\n

    <\/b>5.\tHow does permanent laser hair removal work?<\/span><\/b><\/h2><\/div>\n\n

    Photoepilation, laser hair removal, is a photothermal effect. It is based on the principle of \u00abextended selective photothermolysis\u00bb. <\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t

    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n

    This means that the pigment in the root of the hair is the laser\u2019s target. The light energy is absorbed by the hair\u2019s pigment and converted into heat. The resulting heat damages the bulb at the base of the hair follicle containing growth cells, the hair falls out and regrowth of the hair is prevented.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Before laser hair removal, hair should only be shaved, no plucking, waxing or epilation!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t
