Can Anyone Undergo Laser Hair Removal?
African-Americans and persons with hair color lighter than their complexion will not be admitted for laser hair removal treatment as their skin will tend to absorb more rays than what it usually needed for the purpose of hair removal, making the process dangerous. However, new and innovated laser technology has given rise to new laser hair removal treatments made especially for people with hair color lighter than their complexion.
Is Laser Hair Removal Treatment Better Than Electrolysis?
Electrolysis has better results compared to laser treatment. However, electrolysis as a treatment is more expensive than laser treatment and takes a longer time for the whole procedure to finish.
What Are The Parts Of My Body That Can Be Admitted For Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Most people have their backs, underarms, chests, thighs, arms, upper lip, and bikini lines treated for laser hair removal as these are the most common parts of the body with unwanted hair. Most clinics don’t perform laser hair removal on areas near the eyes such as the brows as this can be dangerous.
Who Are Qualified To Perform Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Different states have different laws and qualifications on who can perform laser hair removal treatment. Mostly, laser hair treatment is usually performed by licensed nurses and doctors who have had professional training and background on such a delicate procedure. However, electrologists, and medical assistants can also perform the procedure even without supervision.
Can I Still Undergo Laser Hair Removal If I Have Tanned Skin?
People with tanned skin are usually advised to wait for some time until their skin color returns back to its original complexion before undergoing the treatment. This is because of the reason that if your skin color is darker than your hair color, your skin will have the tendency to absorb more laser rays than you actually need for laser hair removal. To an extent, this is dangerous.
How Is Beta Carotene Related To The Laser Hair Removal Treatment?
Beta Carotene can be found in foods with Vitamin A such as carrots. Beta Carotene gives a yellow or orange effect on the skin and prevents the laser rays from being absorbed into the hair follicles. To have an effective and successful laser hair removal treatment, it is advisable to keep away from diets with high Beta Carotene.
What Are The Side Effects Of Laser Hair Removal?
Most people who complain about side effects are those who have dark skin tones and light hair color. They report slight burning and pain on the areas treated by laser hair removal. However, these side effects are easily remedied by prescribed topical creams and in some cases, symptoms of side effects simply die down after a period of time.
Are There Any Pre-Treatment and Post-Treatment Procedures I Have To Perform With Laser Hair Removal?
Clients scheduled for the laser hair removal treatment are required to avoid extreme exposure to sun as well as to avoid food with high Beta Carotene content. Body parts that will be subjected to the treatment should also be shaved three days before the schedule. The attending doctor will give the client specific instructions and may prescribe creams to make sure that the effects of the treatment will last. Clients undergoing or about to undergo laser hair removal treatment should follow these instructions religiously.

    It's more irritating than painful. I think the analogy of snapping rubber bands is pretty good, pinpricks would work too. I think it feels similar to getting a tattoo, except a tattoo keeps hurting. The pain of the laser is really momentary, it hurts but it doesn't last. The smaller the area, the less it will hurt.

Aloevera, the wonder herb

Of all the herbs available in the kitchen garden, aloe is perhaps the richest in healing properties and has been rightly named the “first-aid” plant. It has moisturizing and emollient properties and is used in cosmetic creams, sun-lotions, shaving creams and face packs. It can easily be cultivated as a house-plant in a sunny warm spot with good drainage. Cosmetologists mix aloe with several other herbs and draft fancy names for it. Then these “herbal” avatars are sold at exorbitant prices. Growing a plant and using fresh gel is much more effective than bottled gel, simply because it is alive and therefore is more potent. It is the only plant whose extract is applied directly from plant to face in its natural and purest form.

I do have this habit of slathering pain balms whenever I have a headache. But never did I get a skin reaction or rashes from it. It so happened that I had an extremely severe headache a few months ago.  The pain was so unbearable that I gingerly reached out for a pain balm kept on my bedside table and kept on slathering it repeatedly all over the temples of my forehead. Next morning, after I woke up, I found that the skin on my forehead was peeling off and worse there were red rashes!  This was the first time in my life that I was getting rashes from applying a pain balm on my forehead !  I have never had any pain balm allergy or as such!  Side-effects due to application of a pain balm  was something I've never come across all these years! I usually use pain balms of reputed companies – my usual favourites are Tiger balm, Amrutanjan, Zandu balm and Sloan’s balm.  This time I had used Tiger balm. But why did it  give me rashes now, when I had used it...
