Facial Laser Hair Removal

There are people who have more hair than they would like on their facial area. Usually the amount of hair that would be regarded as acceptable is judged according to cultural norms within a particular society. In a society where facial hair on men is frowned upon traditionally men would shave to remove their facial hair. Nowadays, there are men who opt for facial laser hair removal. It seems that all cultures prefer women not to have facial hair at all. For these reasons we have the convenience of Facial Laser Hair Removal available in our contemporary society.

It is true that certain types of skin and hair are more disposed to the treatment of facial laser hair removal. The lighter the skin and the coarser or darker the hair the better the results of Facial Laser Hair Removal would be. This does not mean that you must have very pale skin and very dark coarse hair. What it would mean in regards to the laser treatment is that the closer an individual is to this type of combination the better. However, before any person could make a personal decision he or she should get the opinion of a technician regardless of skin and hair color and type. A day spa such as Azure would have highly experienced technicians to carry out all facial laser hair removal.

Laser permanently disables hair follicles by being attracted to dark pigment. This is the reason why pale skin and coarse dark hair could be more susceptible to Facial Laser Hair Removal treatment. In 1997 lasers were given the approval for the use of facial laser hair removal. The official explanation for the purpose of the laser treatment was for 'permanent reduction'. As it is known that light is absorbed by dark the lasers target the dark matter that is known as chromophore. There are three main types of chromophore that would attract the laser:

- Hemoglobin - gives blood its red color

- Melanin - gives skin and hair its color

- Carbon - carbon based lotion rubbed into skin after waxing to color hair follicle
