Unwanted hair treatment at glogen beauty clinic in vancouver

 Unwanted hair refers to hair growth in specific body areas such as face, under arms, legs and pubic areas. It is a cosmetic concern for many people.   

 Several factors contribute to unwanted hair growth, and understanding these factors can help individuals make decisions about managing or removing unwanted hair. Hormones, medications, genetics, and certain medical conditions all play a role in this issue. 

Hirsutism is a hormonal imbalance which mostly happens for women. In this case women have a lot of hair growing in places where it usually does just for men like face, chest, back and inner thighs.  The hair is often dark and coarse instead of the light and fine. Polycystic ovary syndrome, or PCOS, can cause hirsutism. 

Hypertrichosis also causes excess hair growth, but it’s a different condition than hirsutism. With hypertrichosis, excess hair grows anywhere on your body. 

At GloGen Beauty Clinic in Vancouver we have one of the best laser machines to resolve your unwanted hair concern. 

Wanting to remove unwanted hair is a very personal decision. You can choose temporary methods such as shaving and waxing or go for permanent options such as laser hair removal.  Laser hair removal employs concentrated beams of light to target and damage hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The process involves the following steps:

1. Melanin Absorption: The laser device emits light energy, which is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles.
2. Heat Generation: The absorbed light energy transforms into heat, damaging the hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin unaffected.
3. Follicle Inhibition: The damaged follicles are unable to produce new hair effectively, leading to a reduction in hair growth over time.

Definitely YES!

Laser will target the melanin inside the unwanted hair follicles. Having hair will cause skin burning. So it is necessary to shave the treatment are a day before.

 It depends on several factors including hair and skin color. In total you need 5-10 sessions but most of the people will get the result in 6-8 sessions for permanent hair removal.
You also should have commitment to your treatment and complete the sessions by

4-6 weeks interval. If you don't follow the sessions or the intervals, you may not get desirable results. 

 Laser hair removal can provide long-lasting results, the exact duration will vary from person to person. For achieving lifelong results it is important to have maintenance treatment sessions within 6 months after your last treatment. It is better to repeat these sessions once in a year to get the best result for permanent hair reduction.
