Laser Hair Removal: Best Products Announced

July 7, 2013 - PRLog -- Twenty years ago, laser hair removal was considered a thing of the future. Since the middle of the 1990s, thousands of international companies have been hawking products of various expenses to remove unwanted hairs for good. But a new study has found which products are the best for modern times, and which fall by the wayside.

Currently the only FDA-cleared laser hair removal product that can be used at home is available on http://www.confirmedchoice.com/choose/laser-hair-removal/

The products are divvied up by several criteria, including cost, effectiveness and ease of usability. The best products have been tested and passed by the United States Food and Drug Administration, also known as the FDA. In the best cases, the FDA has approved that products be used without other products; in essence, according to this new study, they’ve confirmed that certain products are safe and thorough enough to be used on their own as a one-stop solution to hair removal. Several inferior products which have not received this FDA clearance require some combination of shaving or waxing to go along with the laser removal.

Since the turn of the millennium, he top products have been featured in women’s health and beauty magazines, such as Allure, Women’s Wear Daily and Cosmo. These products have been thoroughly tested to weigh the benefits of hairlessness against the discomfort of the process itself. It is universally acknowledged that painless laser hair removal is nonexistent, and that multiple sessions will be required. But the best of the best tend to be products that ease the pain or come with recommendations for ways to avoid it.

In the worst cases, disastrous side effects can take place. Skin burning, blistering, scarring and changes in skin texture are the most extreme, whereas hyper-pigmentation is more common. The skin may also be itchy and turn pink, or even red. Swelling is often likely to occur around the treated areas. All of this, in the best of cases, lasts only two or three days. It’s also recommended to check with a doctor before using any of these products, as you may be allergic to the pain-numbing creams or be vulnerable to laser radiation.

Shaving has long been the dominant method of removing hairs, and remains to be for most men and many women. In the 1950s and ‘60s, products like creams, pills and ointments were beginning to spring up, but were not ready to be considered effective. After decades of testing with new technology during the 1970s and 1980s, laser hair removal became immensely popular in the mid to late ‘90s. The cost was huge at first, but doctors and innovators gradually worked the services down, until eventually the procedure could be handled by handheld devices sold privately to customers directly.
