Before the introduction of sleeveless dress and the decree in the 1920s by fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar that to wear it, women should remove "objectionable hair," women did not have to worry about unshaved underarms.
The same revolution in the fashion world removed unsightly hair in a lot more surface area when the '40s made short skirts, sheer stockings, and leggy models vogue. This meant trading a bit of pain for a beautiful gain before the advent of
hair removal clinic.
Today, it's almost a necessity to have flawless and hairless legs (and underarms) if a woman were to wear hemlines that keep rising. As it's also distracting to have hair on the upper lip, chin and cheeks, and inconvenient to have hair on the back, arms and armpits.
Laser clinics in Singapore and elsewhere have become mecca for the seeker of hairless beauty.
The Dangers of WaxingThere's only so much that tweezing, shaving and waxing can do to remove unwanted hair. For one, while they are more affordable and easier to perform, they are nonetheless temporary, leading to frequent treatments which in the long run could traumatize the skin.
Unless done by a highly skilled
skin care specialist, shaving and waxing remove a thin part of the uppermost layer of the skin along with unwanted hair. In the latter, it's not only the hair found on the surface that is removed, but hair pulled by its roots. Waxing can cause obvious traumas such as cuts, or microscopic traumas such as torn follicle roots. When hair is removed this way, it can potentially leave tiny wounds just under the surface. This, in turn, creates bumps that may transmit sexual infections such as molluscum contagiosum, especially if the waxed region is around the bikini area.
How Does Laser Hair Removal WorkA safer approach to removing unsightly hair is by the use of laser performed in a certified
aesthetic clinics in Singapore and in countries where the skin care technology is advanced. This
laser hair removal procedure involves using a beam of highly concentrated light aimed at hair follicles so the pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, a process that causes the hair to die.
Because lasers use highly precise beams of light, laser hair removal can be used to selectively remove dark coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.In an
aesthetic laser clinic, it only takes a fraction of a second for each pulse of the laser to treat many hairs at the same time. This means that smaller areas, such as the upper lip, can be treated in as short as less than a minute, whereas larger areas such as the legs or the back, may take up to an hour.
It takes a while for the hair follicles to be fully receptive to the effects of laser, so most patients may need to have the procedure performed in a laser clinic in Singapore over several sessions to achieve permanent hair removal.
Who Are the Best Candidates for Laser Hair Removal Laser treatments in Singapore involve the laser equipment adjusted according to the thickness, color and location of the hair being treated, with the patient's skin color taken into serious account. There are several hair removal technologies that use lights, and while a laser hair removal procedure can be adjusted to suit all skin types and tones, it is ideally suited to very dark-skinned candidates. For dark to medium skin types, other light hair removal treatments are more suitable.
