If permanent hair removal isn't allowed to be advertised as such, how come I have had IPL hair removal in Kent and no hair has grown there for over 6 years?
Wouldn't many of us like to permanently get rid of unwanted hair growth? From the beard to the bikini line there is usually some area that bothers people but that's where IPL or Laser Hair removal can have a long lasting effect. I am owner of www.advanceclinic.co.uk in Kent and I had treatment for underarm hair removal back in 2004 and haven't had to shave since. No hair is there and no new hair growth has been triggered. To me, this suggest
s that permanent hair removal is possible however, there are certain factors to be considered;
Changes in hormones affect hair growth, for example, a pregnant woman may notice that she has hair growing in places that it wasn't growing before. If this hair were then to be treated by laser or IPL it would get rid of the hair that is currently in the 'growing' phase. It would kill those hair follicles and the living cells around it rendering it unable to produce new hair growth. However, that isn't to say that dormant hair follicles won't be activated with some other hormonal chages later in life. Trading standards do not permit providers of laser or IPL hair removal to advertise it as 'permanent' as there are no guarantees. I work on the principle that I explain this to clients who come for hair removal in Kent. but also show them my under arm so they can see for themselves. Yes, my armpit has been forced out on many an occasion, some of which were social occasions. This is mainly because people are just starting to learn that this form of longer lasting hair removal treatment exists, even though it has been available for years. Another thing people aren't aware of is how affordable hair removal with laser or IPL actually is. There is a miss conception that you would have to take out a second mortgage in order to be able to afford it. Price comparision checks to say waxing show that in the long term, going for the longer lasting hair removal solution is much more cost effective.
