Laser Hair Removal Cape Town, South Africa

Your entire body is covered with hair and that's a fact. But, when darker, coarser hair appears in places we don’t like or expect, it may be time to consider laser hair removal with the Light Sheer Diode Laser available at Cape Rejuven8 at the Cape Town Medi-spa. This is the gold standard in hair removal. The laser targets actively growing hair and destroys the hair follicle (objective is to target the hair follicle without causing thermal damage to surrounding tissues).
That particular hair will then not grow back. An interval of a minimum of 6 to 8 weeks is required between treatments to let other hair grow back before your next treatment. Anywhere between 4 to 8 treatments are necessary to destroy hair follicles resulting in long-term hair reduction
Mechanism of action The primary principle behind laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis. Lasers can cause localized damage by selectively heating dark target matter, (melanin), in the area that causes hair growth, (the follicle), while not heating the rest of the skin. Light is absorbed by dark objects, so laser energy can be absorbed by dark material in the skin (but with much more speed and intensity). This dark target matter, or chromophore, can be naturally-occurring or artificially introduced.   Hair removal lasers selectively target Melanin: Melanin is considered the primary chromophore for all hair removal lasers currently on the market. Melanin occurs naturally in the skin (it gives skin and hair its color). There are two types of melanin in hair: eumelanin (which gives hair brown or black color) and pheomelanin (which gives hair blonde or red color). Because of the selective absorption of photons of laser light, only black or brown hair can be removed. Both men and women seek laser hair removal services to have superfluous or unwanted hair removed. Hair removal is commonly done on lip, chin, ear lobe, shoulders, back, underarm, abdomen, buttocks, pubic area, bikini lines, thighs, face, neck, chest, arms, legs, hands, and toes. Laser works best with dark coarse hair. Light skin and dark hair are an ideal combination, but new lasers are now able to target dark black hair even in patients with dark skin

Electrolysis is another hair removal method that has been used for over 135 years.[22] It involves treating one hair at a time and is an option for smaller areas (like eyebrows or upper lip) where precision is necessary, although even in these areas it has fallen out of favor because of the possibility of scarring and the pain of the procedure. In addition it takes so many treatments compared to laser to complete a large area, and the extreme cost and discomfort are such that electrolysis is rarely used for large areas. At this time, it is the only permanent option for very fine and light-colored hair. The FDA currently allows the term "Permanent Hair Removal" for electrolysis only. Unlike laser epilation, electrolysis is effective on all hair colors
