There’s one particular conversation that us girls have, and often compare notes. Although styles and preferences have changed over the years, it seems the consensus over the last 20 years has been when it comes to bikini lines, “less is more.”  With the option to go from no hair to barely there, laser hair removal for bikini lines have become more and more popular as swimsuits have gotten tinier and tinier.  When faced with the options of doing-it-yourself or having a professional waxing, each come with uncomfortable side effects. No matter what some say, ripping it off quickly like band aid doesn’t help it hurt any less. This month is the perfect time to start in order to be ready for the summer. Below are

Six Reasons to Get Bikini Line Laser Hair Removal

2. It’s modern – Afros went out of style in the 70’s.
3. Be Simply Irresistible – Your husband will love the new you.
4. Brazilians are sexy – And waxing REALLY hurts.
5. It’s not fashionable to be furry – Merkins (pubic wigs) went out the 1700s.
6. Save Time – Spend less time grooming before summer and every time you decide to swim.
7. What a relief - Say good-bye to razor bumps and ingrown hairs forever.

A unibrow, also known as monobrow is the the presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows, so that they seem to converge to form one uniform eyebrow.  After 15  or more years in modern American vocabulary, parody sites, pop references, and news citations,  unibrow was added to the Webster Dictionary in 2006.  In Western perception the unibrow may make a person seem ugly, fierce, grumpy, or overly serious, so much so that the unibrow has become something of a cliché in fiction, especially with cartoon characters or muppets. Although, many people disguise his/her would-be unibrow using painful and time consuming conventional and unconventional techniques, with the inexpensive tools and hair removal lasers of today, these methods are no longer needed.

1. Avoid the pain of tweezing daily — Day in and day out, it never goes away. You tweez, pick, pull, cry. Why put yourself through this torture for the rest of your life? Remember those times when you forgot to bring your tweezers on vacation? You had to walk around on the beach with some strays waving at passersby.
2. Save time in the morning - You have enough to worry about with styling the hair that’s on your head instead of taking the time to manage what’s between your eyes. Take that extra ten minutes of tweezing to sleep.  Studies show a 60 years of tweezing = a full week of your life. I just made that statistic up, but it sounds about right.
3. Avoid the pink razor burn between your eyes – How embarrassing can it get? Once someone puts two and two together, they get one. You’re a closet unibrow concealer. There is no other explanation or excuse for pink between the eyes.
4. Painful electrolysis of yesteryear is no longer needed – It’s not the 1880s anymore, hair removal has come a long way. It’s no longer painful and it no longer takes years of excruciating pain.
5. Save money & relief from skin irritation on “instant hair removal” products – One popular product which rhymes with hair will remove your unibrow, but then you still have the irritation of harsh chemicals and your pores releasing the hair. Plus the spending adds up for products year after year after year.
   
6. Waxing your unibrow only makes it grow back thicker – This is God’s joke on human hair removal, hair comes back with a raging force thicker, darker, and more heavily rooted than before.
7. You’re not Frida Kahlo and it’s not cool anymore – Frida was a proud woman and artist. She depicted herself in several of her paintings as having a unibrow and pencil thin mustache. That was the 1940s and 50s and women’s rights and respect have come along way since then. Protests and bra burning are one thing, but the only thing you’ll accomplish by letting the brow fro go is a dateless saturday night.
8. Avoid getting asked to speak at Star Trek Conventions – Ok so Spock doesn’t have a full unibrow, but he does have some other action going on up there that needs some attention.

Laser hair removal is one of the most sought after services for women and men in the Dallas area.

Many people nowadays tend to get pressured to look good. In fact, in a recent research conducted by The Nielsen Company it was shown that almost all of US Consumers attest to the fact that the pressure to look good has never been so great. This burden done on these people, however, does not automatically translate to people buying or feeling obligated to purchase health and beauty products that do nothing but artificially cover up their feeling of not being too good-looking.

As a result, Americans, along with the majority of people across the globe, feel that buying beauty products does not really contribute to their need of feeling beautiful and attractive.

This, however, “doesnt necessarily mean that consumers are compelled to spend more on beauty products and treatments. It seems the older you get, the less you spend, as teens and consumers in their 20s spend more in this category, said Shuchi Sethi, VP of Nielsen Research Team.

Here’s the real story for your unwanted hair options.

If you are certain that you want to permanently get rid of unwanted hair, you may find the following lists helpful in your decision.

Thousands in Dallas have opted for and embraced Laser Hair Removal versus an ongoing series of waxings, here’s why:

LASER HAIR REMOVAL

• No need to let hair grow out before treatments
• 6 Treatments recommended 5-6 weeks apart
• Results (no hair) enjoyed between each treatment
• Ingrown hairs and razor burns go away!!
• 80% – 90% Permanent Hair Reduction for most
• Cost: Most offer Great Specials for Packages
• When finished with treatments, payments are over!
• A permanent solution to unwanted hair!!
• Much less expensive in the long run.
• Your skin will be smooth, soft and hair free

WAXING

• Must let hair grow out before treatment
• Ongoing commitment every 3 – 4 weeks
• Temporary, short lived fix
• Waxing can lead to irritation, blistering, ingrown hairs
• Cost $50 – $150 per treatment
• Never done paying
• Really hurts!

Laser Hair removal is fast becoming a staple procedure for many thousands of people. Unwanted hair can be eliminated or at least greatly reduced. Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is a multi step process. The hair follicles are literally destroyed via the transmission of heat (caused by the laser pulse) through the hair shaft to the bulb. When the hair has it’s most color (melanin) the Alexandrite (755nm) laser (for skin types 1-3) is most effective. Because hair grows in cycles and the earliest part of growth phase brings with it the most melanin that’s the ideal time to destroy a hair follicle.

The laser will sufficiently damage the hair follicles so that about ten days after being treated the hairs will begin to evacuate themselves from the skin (much like a splinter will , only with no pain). You will be able to see the process as the hair begins to fall out. Now you have the result you have hoped for. But , wait a minute, while you may seem mostly hair free in the treated area (and you are very happy about this), this will only last for about 3-4 more weeks. Then your ready for your second treatment. This pattern will repeat itself until you have completed about six treatments. After which you should have way less, if any visible hair in the treated area. The great thing about the LHR process is that for about half of the time between treatments you will be generally hair free and after the six treatments you will be good to go for years.

It is critical in our experience, to be committed to a scheduled treatment regimen at 5-6 week intervals. As the new cycle of hair growth occurs the laser needs to be applied. The schedule and the hair growth cycles work together such that your growth cycles will get in sync with your treatments and you will get the hair reduction/removal you are hoping for.

The end result will be softer smoother, hairless looking skin area that will feel soft and smooth much like the underside of a (typical) females’ forearm. Also the visibility of the pores where the hair once grew will decrease markedly if not completely disappear.

We have gotten the best results using the Candela GentleLase Mini. It’s the fastest, least painful and most effective laser that we have found and our clients heartily agree. As an example, treating a females’ underarms or bikini area takes less than ten minutes, then they’re on their way back to work or play or wherever.

Stay out of the sun and stay on schedule, don’t wax, tweeze, or depiltate between treatments and this process works wonderfully well. Be sure you are a good candidate and that your laser center and laser operator are well trained and very good at operating the laser safely and effectively. There are many great Q&As for LHR at Evanesque.

As we’re about to publish a number of before and after photos to our Evanesque website, this title came to mind.

Before I had Laser Hair Removal (LHR) on my underarms I hated the constant chore of shaving. After, I never give shaving the slightest thought and my skin there is entirely soft and smooth. Haven’t touched my underarms with a razor in over 4 years, I love it. The Candela GentleLase has been a wonderful asset to me and to our LHR clients. Before, my friend Susan had her bikini area treated 3 years ago, she often suffered from the unpleasant effects of ingrown hairs, rashes and the like. After, she raves about how great LHR is and how much she is glad her razor rash days are behind her. She has come in for yearly touch-ups just twice in 3 years, but other than that her bikini upkeep is non-existent. If you haven’t tried it you should at least do some research. Of course you can see the Q&A Section on our website or here are some other sites with pretty good information: Hairlasers.com, & Hair Removal Forum
After, is way way better than Before when it comes to Laser Hair Removal.  

Contrary to popular belief, it is not only women who feel embarrassed about the amount of hair they have on their body. Laser hair removal for men is growing in popularity as more men than ever are resisting the urge to have a manly image and they are getting rid of their body hair.

How is the laser hair removal process completed? First, a cool gel is applied to the skin which protects against the intense beam of light that is used destroy the hair follicle and inhibit the growth of new hair. An intense light beams at various intervals is applied to the skin which can cause damage to the follicle, after multiple treatments the follicle eventually becomes destroyed and hair growth is impossible.

Laser hair removal for men is a welcome alternative to other methods of quelling unwanted hair, such as; tweezing, waxing, electrolysis and shaving. Men are getting popular parts of the body lasered such as; the back, chest, even the face and area in between the eyebrows.

Laser hair removal is performed at a recognized clinic at various intervals and has a low recovery time. When the patient undergoes the treatment they can continue with their normal activities within hours of the treatment being completed.

The procedure is relatively painless as no needles or blades are used in the hair removal process. In as little as a few sessions the treatments can begin to be effective to slow the growth of hair and reduce the appearance of unwanted hair on the body. The pain factor of this process has been compared to the feeling of tiny flicks on the skin of a rubber band. Read the rest of this entry »
