Laser Hair Removal (Part II - How the laser works)

Firstly, they will examine the type and location of hair removal for example ((armpit. Hands feet, face)) for each of these are quality hair different from each other, it may be thick and may be mild

Secondly, they will put anesthetic in hair removal places to ease pain or pokes resulting from the laser.

This dampening works on quenching and tempering the upper layers of the skin and provides more comfort, this helps to protect the skin during treatment and at the same time helps to deliver greater amounts of light reaching to the ends of the bulbs to destroy

Thirdly, the laser will start work by sending energy and turn it in the form of laser and sent to the skin on the hair, the hair is the link between the laser beam and the root inside the skin .... and here determine the quantity of sessions, why?

the first reason: whenever the hair was thick connected to the laser will be better and stronger ... and the results of the operation will be best and fastest

The higher the hair light, laser positive work will be reduced and perhaps the number of sessions will increase

The second reason: types and sizes of hair, sometimes the hair is in the growth phase, as we mentioned earlier .... At this stage, the hair has come out of the skin but it is not connected to root, so the laser radiation up to the extent to which the hair is not up to the root .. . so sometimes does not take away the hair from the first hearing and that is why ...!!

The laser is reduce the density of hair after several sessions spaced at intervals effectiveness depends of this method on the density of hair in the area to be treated and the degree of hair growth, the more the hair thicker the better the results, therefore the treatment is more effective in people with black hair or dark brown because it contains a higher proportion of melanin, which absorbs more light.

People with blond hair need more sessions to reach the desired result with the consideration that the white hair (graying) is not affected by the laser because of the lack of pigment material.

Laser is valid for all skin types even black, but must reduce the power of the laser for the brown skin .

There are modern devices brown skin care, there are coolers have been added to the lasers fit with this type of skin. We must choose the right laser and power appropriate to each skin and this needs experienced in dealing with this type of skin

The machine is an energy turning the laser to heat weakens the hair follicle without causing any internal complications, and the skin is protected during treatment through effective cooling, this is done by pumping soothing to the skin rushes the same speed of light.

  Hair is made of keratin , which is the same as protein that nails and the outer layer of the skin made up. Hair shaft is consists of:
r 1- a thin outer layer and a protective and without color
e 2-  intermediate layer (crust) give the hair color and hardness
q 3-  bone (found in permanent hair) permeates it's cells with air spaces
e 4- the root of the hair: under the skin and inside encysted part receives nutrition through the tiny capillaries. The gland that adjoins this part and produce fatty substances give hair shine and make it more resistant to water and external factors. The bottom of this part there are cells that divide and produce new hair.

:The life cycle of the hair:
Pili pass in their life cycle in three stages: the growth phase are more sensitive to lasers And permanently die, the second stage is to stop growth and then comes the third stage is falling and this leads to renewed hair gradually without noting that
It is important here to point out that natural hair is going through three stages of growth are as follows:

What are the reasons of excessive hair growth in women frequently

Many women suffer from the problem of hair growth on the body in a short time after removing it, but what are reasons and how can we get rid of them .. Let's see.

A- Genetic factor:

Genetics is one of the most important reasons for increasing hair as the readiness of the disease may be inherited from the father or mother as a pervasive trait, which is reflected on the children and for this, we find that the increase in facial hair in the mother or grandmother increase the likelihood of excessive hair growth on the face of the daughter also there is often more than one in the family has a relative increase in hair growth.

B - gender or race:

Shows the effect of gender or race in the incidence of hirsutism from different degree of hair growth in various races so we find that body hair is visible in the Caucasian race and in some races in the Near East and South Europe, South America and southern Russia, Asia and India, and we can also note the proliferation of hirsutism in the Middle East more from other areas and are increasing between brunettes and among women with dark skin sometimes more than women with light skin especially Hispanic, Indian and in some races especially dark skinned individuals.

C - : disorder hormones :

The effect of hormones is very important to increase the growth of body hair , and we note that by increasing the growth of hair than normal in some women in some areas of the body usually starts after puberty and during pregnancy or after the age of forty which is a time of hormonal changes .

Increase the male hormone (Androjn) in some women leads to increased appearance of hair because of male hormones stimulate hair follicles, leading to the abundance of growth this may be sometimes accompanied by other symptoms such as lack of menstruation or a stopover, atrophy of the breast, increase muscle growth, deepening of the voice and other symptoms ,

In addition to the role of the male hormone, there are other hormones may play a role in the process of increasing the growth of hair like milk hormone (prolactin) and others, as the pillespecially those which containing compounds progesterone and the ratio of estrogen may have a visible impact on the activity of follicles and thus to the emergence of body hair.

 D- a defect in the ovaries:

Ovarian hormones secretes feminist women that give the look of a female and the ability to pregnancies, and these hormones help in skin smoothness and reduce hair growth, therefore, any defect in the secretion of these hormones leads to counterproductive hirsutism may be one of them, and this imbalance is happening in the following cases:

(A) polycystic, ovarian enlargementis a problem afflicting about 2% of women of childbearing age to varying degrees, one of the most common causes of hirsutism frequent, and may be associated with obesity or an increase in acne Therefore, any woman suffering from increased hair in the body with obesity or increased acne significantly must be scanned ultrasound, because her risk of ovarian inflation than others.

(B) ovarian tumors, whether benign or malignant, and both lead to the lifting of ovarian androgens.


(C) failure of ovaries after menopause or ovaries removed.

:E- a defect in the adrenal gland:
Disorders of the adrenal glands causing an increase in the growth of body hair because they lead to increased secretions of hormones note thereby cause hirsutism.

Hirsutism occur in the following cases:

(A) adrenal hyperplasia: gland produces in the normal case, the male hormone in women at a certain rate, but inflation increases the secretion of the male hormone in women thus increasing hair growth may occur in the breast atrophy and menstrual disorder.


(B) the adrenal gland tumors or Cushing's syndrome This also leads to an increase of adrenal androgens and thus increase hair growth.

:F- a defect in the pituitary gland:
Disorders of the pituitary gland may cause an increase in hair growth, but at a lesser degree of disorders of the ovaries and adrenal glands.

Hirsutism here as a result of blood prolactin hyperstimulation syndrome which is accompanied by hirsutism in addition to acromegaly with gonadal failure.

:G- Drugs:
Hirsutism occur as a result of the use of Some medicines like birth control pills, cortisone, and some medicines for nerves, pressure, and other

These drugs may increase the rate of hair growth, regardless of the amount of the dose or duration of treatment.
The compounds of the male hormone like androgen, Danazol and testosterone, which are used in the treatment of some gynecological or used in the construction and growth of the body or used in the treatment of thinness severe all these compounds may cause hirsutism with a note that the response depends on the receptors of testosterone in the skin and sensitivity to the amount given.

Femininity hormone compounds which are sometimes used in menopause and birth control pills have a clear impact on increasing hair growth in some women, and steroids like cortical steroids, ACTH and others have a clear role in the revitalization of hair follicles body if given for a long time.
In addition to these drugs that cause often hirsutism, there are other medications Studies have shown the possibility caused hirsutismit became clear that some antibiotics such as penicillin and some medications used to treat high blood pressurelike minoxidiland also some Pharmaceuticals of vitiligo like psoralenand also phenytoin which is used to treat epilepsy may lead addressed to the growth of body hair profusely.
