Follow on Google News |  Ultra Sound Hair Removal Now Available for Light Hair Colours But it could Soon Cost More due to VATSince first becoming commercially available in the 90s, laser hair removal has become more advance and more affordable, however it only had an effect on dark hair but that could now change with a new kind of treatment that could work on all colours.
“Many women have not been able to get laser hair treatment as it would not work effectively on their hair colour and will only work on dark hair colours,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You who specialise in helping acquire cosmetic surgery loans for UK residents. http://www.poor- People with white, blonde, red or grey hair or people with dark skin could not have the treatment because the way that the treatment works is the light energy emitted by the laser is reflected by the pale skin around and absorbed by the dark colour in the hair and transforms into heat and destroys the hair and root, however pale hair doesn’t absorb the energy, while dark skin absorbs too much of it, resulting in burns. There have been many attempts to try and adapt the laser surgery so it can work with paler hair, but these have been unsuccessful. “Techniques such as dying hair with squid ink before the procedure was tried, but this did not create the right colour required, resulting in the hairs being destroyed but soon growing back,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You. Many people had given up on the idea of being able to take advantage of laser hair treatment because of their pale hair or dark skin, but new technology has been developed in Israel that should allow for more people to be permanently hair free. This new procedure is being distributed under the name Applisonix and it uses ultrasound, which travels through the hair down to the root, where the energy is converted into heat, destroying the hair and the root instantly. “It is not all good news with this treatment though as only one hair can be tackled at a time so the treatment can be lengthy and is unsuitable for large areas,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You. http://www.poor- The treatment has been around for about a year now and many of the people who have tried it says it is pretty much pain free because the ultrasound waves don’t affect the surrounding skin. Dr Sean Lanigan, the Group Medical Director of skin clinics who were involved in early research into Applisonix, believes that the technology has more to offer and said, ‘Manufacturers are looking at adapting the technology, so you could treat multiple hairs at the same time and also some form of home-use device.’ Applisonix costs about £50 for a half-hour session, yet the price could soon increase if the government have their way. The Chancellor is planning to add VAT on to certain cosmetic procedures in a plan to raise up to £500 million a year. So with VAT added on to most cosmetic procedures it will cost you an additional 20 per cent. Until now VAT has only been charged on small treatments such as Botox injections and chemical peels that are carried out in high street beauty salons. All patients and cosmetic surgery will be subject to VAT unless the patient can persuade a doctor that the operation is being carried out for ‘therapeutic’ Fazel Fatah, president of the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons said, ‘the subjective proposals being put forward by HMRC will potentially harm large numbers of patients. ‘They imply that, by definition, any procedure that corrects appearance rather than function is not a medical need. There has been no meaningful discussion with professional bodies involved. ‘We only hope that common ground can be found that protects the wellbeing of patients while balancing the obvious need to increase tax revenues. With surgery, we are dealing with human lives.’ The plastic surgery industry is thought to be worth about £2.3 billion a year and increasing which has caused many to come to the conclusion that VAT is being added because of the continued growth of the industry. “There are fears that this could cost more for the country in the long run as people will be forced abroad for treatment which may result in botched jobs as other countries procedures are not as stringent as ours which in turn may have to be put right by the NHS,” said James Jones from Poor Credit Loans 4 You.
