Straight Lace Front Wigs Baby Hair
It may seem strange to hear about a laser being used for hair regrowth, but this type of treatment has been around for some time and was discovered accidentally by a scientist testing the effects laser radiation on mice. It was in 1967 soon after the first working laser was invented that Dr Endre Mester at Semmelweis, university in Hungary was carrying our research to see if laser radiation cased cancer in mice. No cancers were found, but what surprised him was that hair grew back much more quickly on a shaved test area of the mice than on the mice in an untreated group. This effect called low level laser therapy (LLLT) also known as laser biostimulation, photobiomodulation and cold laser therapy is now used for the treatment of hair regrowth.Possibly due to the then high cost of laser technology, very little research was carried out over the two decades after the first experiments were conducted. During the 1980s LLLT started becoming available as an expensive treatment through a number of exclusive hair clinics.Does It HurtDue to the heat generated by the light, there is a slight discomfort at times during laser hair removal, but particularly on more sensitive areas of the body. A cooling gel that is applied on the area prior to beginning the procedure minimizes this feeling. What Can I Expect AfterwardsThere will be some redness and tenderness at the sight of the treatment, but this should dissipate by the following morning. Sometimes swelling can occur, but will also go away by the end of the day. Patients can expect the affected area to crust over in the few days following the treatment. The only limitation that patients have after their procedures is avoiding tanning beds as well as the sun for a month or so. Why Not Waxing or ElectrolysisPatients prefer laser hair removal particularly to electrolysis because of the larger area that can be treated at once. With electrolysis, each individual follicle is treated, which can result in a highly expensive and time consuming effort.
