hair removal.

to be

  they are merely hair reduction methods.

of hair removal and hair reduction

• including laser and intense pulsed light.

Permanent Hair Removal VS. Permanent Hair
Reduction
9
As stated earlier there is only one recognized
method of permanent hair removal.
10
That method is electrology and it works by
destroying the

• cells responsible for hair growth.

11
This is the only method that is approved by the
FDA.
12
The key difference between hair removal and hair
reduction is that hair removal

• will stop hair growth permanently.

13
Hair reduction will reduce the amount of hair
grown.
14
More often than not the latter will also be
referred to as

• hair removal since less hair growth is usually
  what you want.

15
So, lets explore the different methods.
16
Permanent Hair Removal Electrology
17
Electrology is the only method of permanent hair
removal.
18
Electrology is performed by inserting a hair thin
metal probe into the hair follicle

• and delivering electricity through the probe.

19
The damage caused by the electrocution of the
cells producing hair will stop

• hair growth from those cells permanently.

20
The process, if done correctly will not cause the
skin to be punctured in any way.
21
By damaging the cells responsible for hair growth

• permanent hair removal will be achieved.

22
The most common method of hair reduction is known
as

• photoepilation and covers several different
  techniques.

23
Permanent Hair Removal Photoepilation
24
Photoepilation is not a permanent hair removal
method.
25
There will be hair growth after photoepilation
has been performed.
26
The amount of body hairs grown will simply be
significantly less.
27
The most commonly known method of photoepilation
is laser hair removal.
28
Laser Hair Removal
29
The general principle behind permanent hair
removal or

• reduction with laser is fairly simple.

30
A laser light designed to target only dark matter
on the subject.
31
Since hair is generally darker than the skin this
will be affected by the laser.
32
The laser cause the hair to be heated and cause
damage

• to the follicle responsible for hair growth.

33
The ideal subject for permanent hair removal with
laser is

• a light skinned person with dark hair.

34
However, the technology is still developing and
is now able to target

• dark hairs on dark skinned subjects as well.

35
A cheaper and faster method called intense pulsed
light or IPL is now emerging.
36
Intense Pulsed Light
37
This cheaper and faster method of permanent hair
removal is based on intense

• light for very short durations of time.

38
The general principle is not to far removed from
laser hair removal.
39
The objective is to cause damage to the hair
follicles

• preventing further hair growth.

40
Experts in the field generally consider IPL to be
as efficient as laser hair removal.
41
There is a difference between permanent hair
removal and permanent hair reduction.
42
It might seem insignificant, but it is something
worth considering.
43
If you dont need the hair to be removed entirely
a hair reduction method might be

• preferable to a permanent hair removal method.
