Do away with excessive body hair in the “laser” way

June 27th, 2009 by admin

Laser hair removal is a phrase that is very common now and is a cosmetic surgery that many people, especially women go for. The medical term for laser hair removal is photo-epilation or phototricholysis. Laser method of hair removal will mean that there is freedom from the regular sessions of waxing at the parlors. You can remove the unwanted hair from your body with the laser hair removal technique.

Excessive hair growth in the body happens due to medications, malnutrition, hormonal causes, tumors, heredity or metabolic problems.

The hair removal lasers target melanin in the area which causes hair growth. Hair has two kinds of melanin – eumelanin and pheomelanin. There is a selective absorption of laser light photons and owing to this the hair which can be removed is either black or brown in color. Laser hair removal is sought by both men and women. The body parts which are normally subject to laser hair removal are the underarms, lip, back, shoulders, chin, ear lobe, buttocks, bikini lines, pubic area, abdomen, face, thighs, cleavage, hands, neck, arms, legs, chest and toes.

This form of hair removal technique is also effective for pseudofolliculitis barbae or the ingrown hair. Laser hair removal has been found to be a treatment for the congenital disease called pilonidal cysts; the laser rays help in the elimination of the ingrown hairs that is the source of the disturbing foreign body reactions in this disease.

Dark hair and light skin is the best combination for the laser technique to work effectively. There are many laser wavelengths that have been used for the removal of hair. The wavelengths range from visible light to may be infrared radiation. The laser wavelength is measured in nanometers.

The sessions

There may be many laser hair removal sessions that a person may have to go through when doing away with unwanted body hair. The number of sessions required will depend on certain factors like:

    * The area of the body that is being laser treated

Michael Jackson’s changing Look

June 27th, 2009 by admin

I have never been a particular fan of Michael Jackson’s music, only really liking a handful of his songs, but I have always admired his showmanship and ability to continue producing more music, in spite of his troubled private life.

Hearing the news of his untimely death was a shock to everybody.  Anybody under the age of 45 has grown up with his music which has covered 4 decades!  Love or hate his music, everybody has heard it and you can only admire his musical talent and stamina for producing so much.

As I was watching footage of his extraordinary life from child phenomenon to the King of Pop, I cannot help feeling sad that his life cannot have been a happy one.

Looking at the physical transformation from the happy smiling child Michael was when he first sang with his siblings to the sad, pinched and pale Michael of recent years, it amazes me what somebody will do to change their appearance to “conform” to an image they perceive as “the look”.

Plastic surgery, Botox and many other cosmetic surgical procedures are becoming more and more common place and are no longer prohibited to movie stars, pop singers and celebrities.  Ordinary women and men are resorting to the surgeon’s knife.  I find this a frightening trend and one that suggests that there is only one “look” that is beautiful.

By concentrating on the good bits and showing them to their best advantage, we can ignore the bad bits and nobody will notice. 

Focusing on these “good” features will give you confidence to celebrate the body you have, without resorting to major surgery which carries risks that, in my opinion are not worth taking. 

Michael Jackson didn’t  focus on the good things in his life and in his appearance.  I do not believe that his unhappy life was made any better by his tranformation of his facial features.  His childhood difficulties and somewhat dramatic life will be debated for many years but for “ordinary” men and women  learning to love ourselves as we are, is not an impossible dream.
