The causes of excessive hair growth are as follows: - - Pregnancy - – Hormonal Imbalances (ex. PCOS) - – Thyroid Problems - – Reactions to certain Medications Patients with excessive hair grown in uncommon areas should explore possible underlying medical reason before starting with a laser treatment. Laser hair removal can only impact hair that’s currently growing. They cannot prevent the body from developing new hair after treatments are completed. Those who have facial male pattern growth or irregular menstruation should see an endocrinologist and should inform the consultant or presiding Physician regarding this matter. Before making a decision where to have underarm laser hair removal, here are things to consider: - Consider the price, relative to the treatment. If the clinic is using Soprano XL or Lightsheer Duet, make sure that the technician or the physician is doing at least 2 passes on your underarms to cover the whole area. The number of shots will depend on the size of the underarms. Some even do 3 passes. Make sure that you are getting enough especially if you got a discounted price. - You should have reasonable expectations. Some might say they have only undergone 3 or 4 sessions and they have no hair anymore. Again, the number of sessions needed by a patient varies. It is rare for patients to need less than 6 sessions, but it can be happen. Ask your friends for actual experiences, and consult with your dermatologist for realistic expectations. Hair growth in each hair follicle occurs in a cycle – anagen, catagen and telogen. Anagen is the growing or active phase or when the hair fiber is produced. Catagen is the period of controlled regression of the hair follicle. This phase is when the lower part of the hair stops growing, but does not shed, and the follicle is reabsorbed. Telogen is the last of the hair growth cycle. In this resting phase, the old hair falls out in preparation for the development of a new anagen hair. Normally this cycle of hair production will continue for the duration of the individual’s life. However, various factors can influence, promote and inhibit hair production. Laser affects hairs when it’s in its anagen phase of growth. Thus, patients need multiple treatments in order to disable each batch of hair as it enters the anagen or active stage. Hair cycle length varies depending on body part. Face usually requires more frequent treatments (about 6 to 8 weeks apart) whereas legs and back need less frequent treatments (closer to 12 weeks apart). Spacing treatments 6 to 8 weeks apart allows adequate time to target hair on most body areas. SPIRUSTAMIN ,,yun lang po ang sagot jan ..
