Back Hair - laser hair removal

Hair growth on the backside can be more than a cosmetic issue. The hair may get itchy, irritated, and there may be infection of the hair follicles. The discomfort usually worsens with warm weather, exercises, and sweating.
The back hair may be sparse or very dense. In both cases, laser hair removal can be very helpful in eliminating or reducing the undesired hair. Just like the other body areas, the type of laser to be used for back hair removal needs to be carefully chosen so the patient can get the best possible outcome.

Laser hair removal is more effective than shaving or waxing

For controlling back hair growth, options like waxing, shaving, using depilatory creams, etc. may have some limitations. You will need somebody to help you when applying depilatory creams or shaving the back hair. Among these options, waxing has a good long-term effect in producing hair-free skin, which may last several weeks. But waxing can be an uncomfortable procedure, can be irritating to the skin, and can result in skin pigmentation.

What are the Advantages of Laser Hair Removal for Back Hair?

Even those people with coarse, thick back hair can have a permanent hair thinning, along with decreased hair density. The remaining hairs may be very less cause of concern. This is important for those people who may have irritation in their back hair.

Face and facial hair – Laser hair removal

Both males and females can benefit from facial hair removal using laser treatment.
Facial laser hair removal for women

Facial hair can be removed using lasers and it is easy, fast, and more comfortable when compared to other methods like electrolysis or waxing. The hair removal procedure can take not more than ten minutes of your time. There is no need for you to grow out the hair for the treatment to be effective.
Facial laser hair removal for men
Some men may dislike shaving and may want to remove the facial hair growth permanently. They can benefit by using laser facial hair removal. The removal is effective to eliminate shaving. Laser hair treatments can also give a tidier appearance to the face by reducing hair in areas like the eyebrows. Your physician will take special care when using lasers around the eyes. This is for safety purposes.
Laser hair removal also prevents hair irritation and development of folliculitis, a condition in which some hair follicles get inflamed.
Laser hair removal for facial hair is less painful, easy, and quick, when compared with other treatment options. Many sessions may be required, but the treatment is likely to last long. With advancing age, some patients may need to use the laser again to treat newly growing facial hair.

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

Removal Methods

Electrolysis

Electrolysis takes the most time of all hair removal methods. Hair is grasped strand by strand with a tool that looks like tweezers and an electric current is sent down the hair, into the shaft to kill the bulb from which hair grows. This is a permanent method of removal and can be done at home or at a salon that offers this type of hair removal service. It can be painful if hair is pulled or the current is high.

Laser Removal

Another technique used to permanently remove hair is laser removal. Until recently this method was only available at a special office, performed by a doctor or licensed technician. Hand held laser hair removal tools are now available for home use. One popular choice is the Epila laser tool, which costs less than a single visit to an office for this procedure. Permanent results may not be achieved without multiple visits for the laser treatment, making at home laser hair removal an economical avenue.

Methods

Buffing

Buffing is essentially a sand paper type of disc that is rubbed vigorously against the skin either by hand or with a rotating hand held tool. Hair is ‘sanded’ away, while the skin is left with a smooth, polished look and feel. The buffing tool is a very fine texture and does not damage the skin unless held in one place for an extended period.

Waxing

This application can be done at home or in a salon. The traditional method of waxing involves heating a wax, spreading it over the skin, then placing cloth strips over the wax. The strips are pressed against the skin and stripped away, removing the hair in the area. Cold waxes are used in the same manner, minus the heating which lead to burns in some people when the wax was overheated. Hair that is removed by waxing grows in finer and lighter over time, much like epillation.

Hair Removal Methods

SCA}Removing body hair can be a chore. For decades hair removal methods were either messy, painful or both. Today there are many different methods to keep your skin smooth and hair free.

Razors

There are hundreds of variations on the basic razor. For men, for women, single bladed, double bladed, triple bladed and quad bladed. The bulk of razors sold are disposable, with replaceable head razors coming in a strong second. Some models have thin wires across the blades to reduce nicks. Others have thick bars of shaving cream built into their heads or strips of a skin soothing soothing lotion.

Depilatories

These are lotions, creams or foams that remove body hair by chemically burning the hair at the root. Some depilatories are fast acting and do nit require a long wait time like the creams of the past. New formulations can be used in the shower and will not wash away until scrubbed or scraped with a special sponge/tool included in the package. New scents improve the once foul smell of depilatories.

Relevant Anatomy

In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of how laser hair removal procedures work, one must have knowledge of relevant hair microanatomy, physiology, and growth cycles associated with growth of hair on the body.
Hair follicles are found over almost the entire body surface, with the exceptions of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Each person has approximately 5 million individual hair follicles. Hair follicles may be straight, wavy, helical, or spiral, and the morphologic features of follicles vary among different anatomic locations and racial backgrounds. White persons typically have thinner hair shafts than persons of Asian or African American backgrounds. The density of hair follicles in a given skin surface area also varies widely among individuals. Hair shape is also highly variable; on cross-section, straight hair tends to be round and wavy or spiral hair is oval. Keep in mind the variations in color, texture, and amount of hair on a given body surface area when deciding upon the need for hair removal procedures.
Types of hair
Adult hair has 2 primary types. Vellus hair can be found over the entire body and appears as soft, fine, short hairs that are nonpigmented or very lightly pigmented and can be all but invisible. Terminal hair is the longer, coarser, and more darkly pigmented hair found on the scalp, underarm area, and groin. Subgroups of terminal hair include those on the scalp, pubic region, and eyebrows. Terminal hair is also found on the androgen-sensitive areas of the body, such as the beard and chest area in males. Although greatly outnumbered by vellus hairs, terminal hairs are more important, as they are responsible for the appearance of hair on the body. They may aid in enhancing a person's image, or they can cause great anguish and distress due to their distribution, length, or texture.
Hair follicle anatomy
Hair follicles are associated with other structures within the skin. As the hair follicles develop, they become associated with developing sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, and erector pili muscles. Together, these structures form the folliculosebaceous-apocrine unit.
Each hair follicle may be divided into 4 histologic divisions, which are (from superficial to deep) the infundibulum, isthmus, stem, and bulb.

• The infundibulum is the most distal portion of the hair in the follicle, extending from the surface of the skin down to the entrance of the apocrine gland into the follicle.
• The isthmus of the hair then extends from the apocrine gland entrance to the connection to the sebaceous gland.
• Still deeper, the stem extends from the sebaceous gland opening to the erector pili muscle attachment. The action of this muscle makes the hair stand erect, causing goose bumps.
• The bulb of the hair follicle is deep to the attachment of the erector pili muscle and is the site of the follicular matrix. This is the principal site responsible for hair growth and development.

Introduction

Laser hair removal is one method of treatment for unwanted body hair. Up to 22% of women in North America have excessive or unwanted facial hair, which negatively affects the quality of life for many individuals.¹ Men also feel compelled to rid themselves of unwanted body hair, as dictated by popular culture and appearance anxieties. Body hair may be undesirable for patients for cultural, social, cosmetic, or psychological reasons; unwanted hair can result in feelings of embarrassment or emotional burden that may impede patients' relationships or daily activities. This level of impairment is comparable to that experienced by patients with psoriasis and eczema and eclipses that experienced by patients with acne.

Adequate methods for hair removal have long been in demand; long-term hair removal with minimal adverse effects is the ultimate goal. Laser hair removal has become well established as an effective form of treatment for unwanted body hair.

The shaving and hair removal market in the United States increased 8% between 2002 and 2007 and is currently 1.8 billion dollars annually.² None of the hair removal methods practiced today provides complete or permanent hair removal. This goal will likely be reached with a more complete understanding of anatomy, physiology, hair growth cycles, and laser-tissue interactions, and as more sophisticated technologies emerge.
