A basic hair growth cycle takes between 4-6 weeks to complete. This consists of 3 stages:-
Every single hair on your face and body goes through this cycle,
unfortunately not all hairs are growing at any one time, which means your
hairs are constantly growing, resting and shedding.
Hair growth can
be affected by Age, Hormones, Gender, Medication, Medical conditions, Family
genetics and the all too often self inflicted problem as a result of home
removal (facial tweezing, waxing or threading). The lower portion (beard
area) of your face is a hormone target area and generally this is where
facial hair becomes troublesome.The WORST method of removal for this area is
PLUCKING, WAXING & THREADING.With continued removal of this kind you will
usually find that the hairs become Thicker, Stronger and Increase in
quantity!
Electrolysis is a permanent method of hair removal. It is a
slow process that involves shrinking the root and cauterising the blood
supply to each hair using a diathermy current.Each time a hair is treated it
will get weaker and finer and will eventually stop growing.
Intense
Pulsed Light (IPL) is a method used to permanently reduce hair growth. It is
the next generation of lasers that utilises light energy and relies upon
hair pigment (colour) to travel to the root of the hair where it becomes
heat. This light energy becomes heat energy that cauterises the blood supply
and destroys the germinative cells that are responsible for growth. It
selectively destroys Anagen (growing) hairs at each treatment. Whole areas
are treated at each session so it is much quicker than electrolysis,
however, it will not treat white,grey,red or blonde hairs successfully.
Waxing is a temporary method of hair removal which is better suited for
body hair and eyebrows. Hairs need to be about 1/2cm in length and is
generally done every 4-6weeks.
Sometimes you will get Ingrowing
Hairs,this can be prevented/solved by regular exfoliation of dead skin cells
that build up and moisturisation to keep the skin fresh and soft so that
hairs can grow through without problem.
PLEASE NOTE A CONSULTATION IS
