In my comparatively lengthy electrolysis hair elimination expertise, I’ve handled a large number of individuals of various ages and genders, and with totally different sort of hair and pores and skin coloration.

Just lately, I’ve had a variety of shoppers coming to me for electrolysis, claiming being dissatisfied with the outcomes of laser hair elimination remedies on their face, shoulders, again or chest. In all these instances, and of their opinion, after having quite a few remedies, laser has elevated the hair progress as an alternative of eradicating or lowering hair completely. In addition they declare that hair grew to become darker and thicker.

Their case histories present that these shoppers have gentle pores and skin, extra hair progress on the face and neck and imbalance of hormones. Additionally, some have poly-cystic ovarian syndromes, adrenal issues and different circumstances that trigger the extreme progress of hair. Though their hair was seen earlier than, it was not as extreme, thick and darkish as once they completed with their laser hair removal remedies.

Being each an authorized scientific – medical electrologist and a laser technician and having labored within the electrolysis area since 1997, I are likely to advocate my shoppers (particularly ladies) to have electrolysis and to not have laser hair elimination remedies on the face, neck, again and shoulders.

Again to primary: laser vs electrolysis

Hair grows out of the dermis. The indentation of the pores and skin through which the hair shaft grows is named a follicle. The one residing portion of the hair is discovered within the follicle. That is the bottom of the basis, which is named the bulb, and which incorporates the cells that produce the hair shaft. It’s this hair bulb within the follicle that each laser and electrolysis are focusing on when aiming to eliminating the hair progress.

Provided that the follicle can produce two kinds of hair: vellus hair, that are pale, advantageous, and fluffy; and terminal hair, that are darker, coarser and thicker, may or not it’s potential that the utilized (laser) radiation, in some instances, stimulates hair follicles that produces the advantageous hair into producing terminal hair?

You will need to level out that laser can not deal with particular person follicles. When utilized, it treats not solely the undesirable hair, however the laser beam goes additionally over a far higher pores and skin space that surrounds the undesirable hair, the place there is no such thing as a seen or a really advantageous hair.

It doesn’t matter what sort of laser machine for hair elimination is getting used – diode, alexandrite or lengthy pulsed Nd:Yg – the principal behind the LASER (Mild Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation) hair elimination is identical.

When the laser operator prompts the laser, the laser beam will cross by the pores and skin to the tiny sacs referred to as follicles the place hair progress originates. The extreme warmth from the laser beam damages the hair follicles, which eliminates hair progress.

The hand piece tip of the laser hair elimination machine should be in agency contact with the pores and skin. A number of pulses ought to then be positioned subsequent to at least one one other whereas searching for the epidermal response. The agency strain additionally flattens the dermis, bringing the hair roots nearer to the floor. Hair roots nearer to the floor have a higher chance of absorbing the laser gentle.

In distinction to laser hair elimination, electrolysis units deal with particular person follicles solely. Utilizing essentially the most trendy expertise, a minute quantity of electrical energy is rigorously utilized to the bottom of the hair follicle. This course of destroys the hair progress cell. Due to this fact, the regrowth capacity of the hair follicle is completely eradicated.

With out the blood movement, that exact follicle can not develop one other hair.

There isn’t any doubt in my thoughts that far higher variety of individuals are happy with their laser hair elimination outcomes than those that are usually not. I don’t need to fake that I do know for sure the rationale behind the laser therapy failing a few of these individuals, and why some individuals expertise the elevated hair progress on the laser handled areas.

For my part, one of many causes for the elevated hair after laser hair elimination remedies is the electromagnetic radiation of the laser when utilized and its influence on the potential hair rising cells there, particularly in shoppers with imbalance of hormones and/or whose hair cells are extra delicate to regular ranges of circulating (male hormones) androgens.

There’s comparatively little printed analysis info on laser hair elimination, though the laser corporations are fast to advertise their new units and promising expectations.

As knowledgeable devoted to giving shoppers the most effective service potential, I want to see extra analysis completed and extra printed knowledge on laser hair elimination. The very best hope for our shoppers is that researchers and physicians proceed to make their findings recognized in peer-reviewed publications. That manner they may have the ability to fight the hype current within the mainstream media, the producer and practitioner promotional supplies and within the typically unreliable, anecdotal experiences from shoppers. With out these researched and established findings, we will solely guess why the rise of terminal, undesirable hair occurs in some ladies (and males) after the laser hair elimination remedies.
