When in the process of searching for methods to remove hair from the body, there are many things to take into consideration. When doing so, a man or woman has to consider every option and evaluate which one will cater to their needs the most. One must do a substantial amount of research and ask the necessary questions to make sure nothing will go wrong.

Due to technological advancements, there are many kinds of treatments available in the market today. One of these is called alexandrite laser, and this is a very powerful equipment used in salons and clinics by licensed practitioners. Since there are no home devices of this sort that has been approved by the FDA, one must go to a clinic to have the procedure done.

By using radiation, light amplification is achieved so light can flow through. This light is then directed at an alexandrite crystal so that a 750 nm laser is produced in the color red. While that is the standard size, the length will depend upon how much is needed in order for it to effectively go through the pores of the skin.

Since it uses produces laser in short pulses, it is a highly effective way to remove any unwanted skin. But it has many other uses as well, such as treating age spots and spider veins. It is also able to reduce the visibility of vascular birthmarks and scars. Tattooed people who wish to erase their art can also avail of this service and will have their tattoos fully removed in a few sessions.

Although this is considered as the most efficient treatment available in the market today and works with all skin and hair types, it still has its limitations. For instance, while this is proven to eliminate all types, it is still more effective for thin wispy types. It also is less effective on darker skin and will take more sessions to fully take its desired effect.

After the recommended number of sessions, clients can expect the hair to clear out by at least seventy percent. However, the number of sessions will depend upon the thickness of the hair. For instance, a person with thin and fine hair will have an average of six to eight treatments, while thick and dark will take at least eight to twelve.

Just like any other method, it also has its fair share of disadvantages and side effects. People who have a darker skin tone are more prone to getting hypopigmentation, which lightens patches of skin. People with a lighter complexion are not entirely safe either because there is a tendency for the over production of melanin which will lead to dark patches as well.

One should also be aware that the procedure will be somewhat painful, but not something that is too unbearable. Make sure that the practitioner will not neglect applying a cooling gel on the surface in order to prevent swelling, and to minimize the pain felt. Some patients will experience some initial itching and swelling, however that is expected to go away in a few days.

When selecting any sort of procedure, always make sure it has been approved and certified by the FDA. Ask to see any documentation or proof to assure safety and hygiene. Luckily, alexandrite is already an established and approved method since 1977. It is also highly important for the practitioners to have FDA clearance in order to operate the equipment and use the product on clients.
