Laser hair removal is arguably one of the most radical treatments to stop or slow the growth of hair. It can be performed on almost any part of the body, is relatively safe and widely available. There are some disadvantages, with the major being the cost of the procedure. Actual prices will vary depending on the amount of hair to be removed and who you choose to do the procedure. You should remember that this is a serious step and there is potential for damage to the skin so be sure to choose a reputable source for your laser hair removal.





If you decide that laser surgery is a viable option for you, check into the potential for a free consultation. Ask questions including how long the hair growth will be stopped (some don't guarantee permanent hair removal but do promise for a specific period of time).





There are literally thousands of hair removal products on the market, many touting their ability to permanently remove hair. Be sure to know about any procedures before you sign up. Ask what kind of training the person performing the procedure has had and check into testimonials from clients. In the case of a product that offers permanent hair removal, take time to read instructions, ingredients and potential hazards. If you're hoping to remove the hair from your face and a particular product sounds appealing, be sure that it's safe for use on the face.





Depending on the individual, permanent hair removal could be worth the cost and effort of one of the many permanent hair removal processes. Before you take that step, be sure that you are one of them.Is there any way to stop hair growth permanently?
yeah, electrolysis. It's really expensive though
Epilation is the process of removing unwanted hairs. There are two methods for removing hair: electrolysis and thermolysis. Both methods work well and differ mainly in the type of current used.





Electrolysis is done by inserting a thin needle into the hair follicle parallel to the hair shaft. A small amount of high-frequency electrical current is then applied to the hair. This results in the generation of heat that destroys the hair. After the current is applied the hair is removed with forceps.





Side Effects:





A hair re growth rate of 15% - 25% can be expected. Often the hairs that grow back are smaller and less noticeable than the original hairs.





Epilation works by causing a small scar around the treated hair. In people prone to forming thick scars, the scar may be noticeable. If you tend to form thick scars you should not have this procedure done. Dark-skinned people may develop dark or white areas around the treated hairs; therefore a small test area should be done first. There is a slight risk of bacterial infection from epilation. If a treated hair becomes red or has pus, call your doctor immediately.





Epilation performed by laser was performed experimentally for about 20 years before it became commercially available in the mid 1990s. Laser and light-based methods are sometimes called phototricholysis or photoepilation.





In addition to lasers, some light-based epilators use a xenon flash lamp which emits full-spectrum intense pulsed light (IPL) . Treatment with this device is sometimes popularly referred to as laser hair removal, though the device is not a laser per se.





The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. Lasers can cause localized damage by selectively heating dark target matter in the area that causes hair growth while not heating the rest of the skin. Light is absorbed by dark objects, so laser energy can be absorbed by dark material in the skin (but with much more speed and intensity). This dark target matter, or chromophore, can be naturally-occurring or artificially introduced.





The dermal papilla is the only appropriate target of destruction, as it is the only substructure of the hair shaft which can reproduce a new root system, and therefore a new hair shaft. The dermal papilla is located at a depth of 7-8 millimeters for coarse hair, and so is beyond the reach of laser.





The laser light beam, however, does a great job of vaporizing large areas, just not permanently. Challenge your laser tech to sign a ';plain english'; money back guarantee if you want to find out for yourself.





No form of laser is capable of permanent hair removal without scarring. At most, 5% of hair in a given area can be removed which adheres to the common usage of the word ';permanent';, usually because the hair root is not very thick in diameter, or have any pigment, and is therefore within the two millimeter range of the laser.





At present it looks as though this is the closest you'll get to permanent hair removal and this may be satisfactory for you. the average cost for laser epilation is around $500.00, now this is determinent on the area to be treated and of course the number of treatments required.
Gt it lasered off, it hurts a lot. And its not inexpensive, but thats the only way I can think of.





Good Luck!
become a hippie and let it grow. Then braid it and wear wife beaters :)
laser hair removal. its permanent, but expect to pay through the nose.
That's a weird question, but it's one that DOES make sense, unlike a lot of questions on here. But.. unfortunatley, I dunno. Sorry.
Roundup does wonders for my weeds, but you would not want to use it on your hair.
