Laser Hair Removal ? general information
For those who follow fashion, and there are many who do, body hair removal is not a choice.
Today's fashions demand a smooth, hair free body. And it seems that many women (and some men) will go to any lengths to get rid of what society says is "unsightly" body hair.
There are many methods, both old and new, to body hair removal, from shaving and plucking, to electrolysis and the latest trend, laser hair removal.
Each method has its advantages and disadvantages.
There are several factors to consider when deciding which is the best method for you.
A key factor to you may be cost --- laser hair removal is not cheap, but neither is electrolysis.
And how much do you spend weekly (or twice weekly) on having a wax treatment? Laser hair removal does diminish and weaken hair re-growth, meaning you need less treatment.
Another factor you may wish to consider is the pain involved.
This is a tricky one, because every individual perceives pain differently, and each person has a different pain threshold.
Some people report feeling a mild pinching during treatment, others say it feels like being zapped with an elastic band.
Others experience no pain or discomfort at all.
Another concern may be time.
Shaving every couple of days can eat into your time and is messy, not to mention painful if you slip with the razor.
Re-growth from shaving is quick, and the stubble tends to be sharp and prickly.
Electrolysis is painful as well as expensive and exceptionally time consuming, since each individual hair is targeted.
Re-growth is often mentioned as a problem in connection with electrolysis.
Another consideration is whether you are considered a good candidate for laser hair removal.
Despite the hype and misinformation on the internet, it is not a miracle cure for all.
Most types of cosmetic laser machines target melanin.
This is the pigment or color in your skin and hair.
Therefore those people whose skin is dark, i.e. those with more melanin in their skin, may find they experience skin discoloration after undergoing this type of laser treatment.
The ideal candidate for this non-invasive treatment is therefore someone with pale skin and dark hair.
Typically the Irish combination of fair almost white skin, with dark brown or black hair and blue eyes is considered the most suitable type. The laser beam can clearly distinguish the dark hair (containing melanin) from the light skin.
But do not lose heart if laser hair removal is your last hope of keeping your skin smooth and silky.
There are techniques which a skilled technician can apply to help maximize the efficiency of the treatment, and minimize the risks. Check out the links on this website to find a local skilled and qualified technician in your area.

Laser Hair Removal Treatments
Over the years, laser hair removal treatment has been accepted and has mushroomed because of a better understanding of its use. Laser hair removal treatment may be the best form of hair removal, but it is not for everyone. Contrary to common conception laser hair removal is not permanent.
During hair removal treatments, lasers operate by producing light at different wavelengths, output and pulse widths. The wavelength establishes the point that the laser falls on, such as melanin (a dark biological pigment), water or veins. Lasers used for hair removal are intended to burn structures that hold dark color pigment.
Thus, laser hair removal treatments work better for people with a lighter skin and darker hair. Similar to electrolysis, hair follicles in the growth phase (anagen) are more easily damaged than those in the resting phase (talogen). It should be noted that at least 15% of the time, hair follicles are in the talogen phase. That makes permanent hair removal...

Hair removal has been around as long as mankind. There is evidence that cavemen shaved their faces with sharpened rocks. Removing unwanted hair has existed in every culture since then. The ancient Greeks and Romans both shaved. The use of depilatories has also existed in history since ancient times.
Today people continue to remove unwanted hair by several methods. Shaving continues to be used as a quick easy solution. Modern electric razors make it easy. Hair removal creams are available from many manufacturers. Electrolysis and laser hair removal are modern additions to the types of hair removal.
The first person to use electrolysis for hair removal was Dr.
Charles E. Michel in 1875. Electrolysis uses an electrified needle which is inserted into the base of the hair follicle while the patient holds a rod which serves as an electrical ground. A chemical reaction takes place which destroys the hair growth tissue. A hair treated by electrolysis does not grow...

SHEC Labs plans Renewable Solar Hydrogen Pilot Plant
(ContentDesk) June 1, 2005 -- SHEC-Lab's prototype solar hydrogen generator has now operated for approximately 1,200 hours with no noticeable coking or degradation of the catalysts. Hydrogen production is near the theoretical maximum at approximately 66% in the product gas stream with a 98.2% mol conversion of the feed methane. The estimated maximum hydrogen production with the unit is approximately 3,500 kg per year with minor modifications to the operating pressure and reactor configuration and an increase in the solar mirror area.The next stage of development is anticipated to be a commercial-scale demonstration at a landfill gas site using 40,000 kg per year hydrogen production modules. This one project (a small-to-medium sized landfill gas project) will prevent more than 1.6 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) from entering the atmosphere over the next twenty years and will significantly improve local air quality and reduce smog.
This one plant would consist...

One hate shaving, tired of putting up with painful waxing, tweezing, depilatory creams, and all of the time that removing unwanted facial or body hair can take, laser hair removal may be the answer to those.
