Hair Removal Laser Equipment - Should You Be Scared?

People tend to fear what they do not understand, and there is perhaps no more misunderstood technological advancement in the past couple of decades than lasers. When we think of lasers, our imaginations go wild with all kinds of sci-fi and fantasy visions. Lasers cutting people open, a la James Bond in Goldfinger. Lasers used as futuristic weaponry like lightsabers and blaster pistols in Star Wars. Lasers even make us think of new weaponry projects like the missile defense system currently being constructed.

For some reason, lasers have a certain bond with death and destruction - a problematic assumption that laser hair removal equipment manufacturers and specialists have to deal with day after day.

However, not all lasers are bad. Take laser pointers, for example. These are low wattage, completely harmless beams of light that are emitted from a device powered by a lowly battery. Those lasers certainly aren't capable of slicing people in half or shooting down missiles. And so is the case with laser hair removal equipment. Such devices are completely harmless and are designed for one purpose and one purpose only - to remove unsightly or bothersome hair anywhere on your body.

Instead of simply telling you that the laser hair removal equipment that will be used during a laser hair removal procedure is completely harmless, let's present some facts about hair removal with the use of lasers instead. The laser, almost always based on a ruby or another mineral known as alexandrite, shoots a beam of light that is not powerful enough to damage your skin but is perfect for destroying the hair follicle and the hair bulb - preventing hair growth in areas hit by the laser. This laser, through excellent targeting and low power consumption, simply cannot damage a person's skin - no matter how long it shines on the same spot.

Now compare the laser hair removal equipment used by laser hair removal specialists to other kinds of hair removal techniques. Previously, one of the most effective ways to remove hair was by using a sort of hair removal cream. You've probably seen these products advertised on television as "completely harmless." But why would you want to rub a cream on you, made of unknown and unpronounceable chemicals, that makes your hair fall out and not return for months on end. It could be anything in those products - even chemicals that are dangerous or deadly when used for prolonged periods of time.

Compared to the harmless laser hair removal equipment that modern hair removal specialists are now using, the choice seems clear. Why would you risk your life using a hair removal cream when you could simply visit a laser hair removal specialist and receive a treatment that is totally harmless and uses only the newest, most high tech equipment available. There is simply no reason to fear the new laser hair removal equipment when what you should have been fearing all along was the pain of waxing and plucking, the harsh chemicals used in various hair removal creams, and the cost of purchasing drugstore hair removal product after drugstore hair removal product because none of them worked as well as advertised.
