Epilation is a technical term for removing hair from the skin, and proceeding to destroy it down to the root, therefore removing the entire follicle. For thousands of years, both men and women have found ways to remove their unwanted follicles, deeming it unattractive. This is especially true for women. In the 1970s, a process known as Laser Hair Removal was made commercially available after having been used in experimentation for a number of years.
A laser is a device that produces electromagnetic radiation through a process of optical amplification based on stimulated emissions of photons. A stimulated emission is a process by which atomic electrons are interacting with electromagnetic waves of a certain level of frequency and therefore transfers its energy into that certain field. It is obviously a technical definition, but its simple meaning is that energy, and therefore, light, is used to remove the actual follicle itself.
This method is also known as Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. When working in cosmetic cases, it is usually a beam about the size of a thin pen. It possesses the ability to be focused onto tiny spots, such as follicles within the skin. It has "irradiance, " a term which simply means that the electromagnetic radiation is incident on the surface of the skin.
It selectively targets dark heat matter in the root while at the same time refraining from heating the rest of the surface of one's skin. It is technically referred to as IPL, or Intense Pulsed Light. This intense heat literally seeks to "kill" the follicle, leaving no mark behind. Although in time it will grow back, the span between visits is usually much, much longer that anything produced by waxing or creams.
It's also known by other names such as Phototricholysis and Photoepilation. As previously noted, epilation is when the entire follicle, all the way underneath someone's skin and down to the root, is removed.
The main target of this beam is melanin, the pigment which gives hair its color. This process is especially popular with movie stars and those who don't want to spend their time waxing or shaving. Treatments are oftentimes placed anywhere from eight to twelve weeks apart. The operation itself is subject to emitting some level of pain, although it is very low. Threading and waxing are just as painful in that respect.
Some people may experience allergic reactions to the radial process. Itchiness, swelling or redness may occur. Sometimes people have a reaction to the gel or cream that is given before and after the process is complete. There are numbing medicines that may be administered that may also cause an adverse reaction as well.
It the late 1990s this technology began to procure widespread popularity. It is, however, much more expensive than other more traditional ways of removing hair from the body. But it does last longer than other treatments. As of the present, electrolysis is the only permanent process for which the FDA approve to use for those which light, nearly invisible follicles in the skin, since laser technology targets dark melanin.
