help okay need information about laser hair removal around nipples is this safe?

Hi dear, There is nothing to worry about the safety. In history so far no one died due to laser hair removal. But the only negative point is that your hair will not be remove away from your body for your life long. I do not see any good reason that a male should be totally without a hair in the body. If you wish to remove that you can go ahead but choose the best machine. All the best

Is it possible to only reduce the hair with laser hair removal?

Each laser hair removal session will remove a little hair more and more each time. The only thing is that the laser does not evenly remove hair over the entire area. After treatment, you may notice that there are some bald patches where the laser worked really well, then there will be spots where no hairs were treated at all. Laser hair removal is not intended to be used to just reduce hair. It is meant to be done to completion. If you are not concerned about the evenness, then it would work really well

What's the difference between waxing and laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal uses a laser to "kill" the hair at the root. It can cost thousands of dollars and demands multiple treatments. It all depends on the area and thickness of the hair you are trying to remove. It can also lead to permanent scarring and adverse skin reactions when not done properly. Waxing uses a hot (or sometimes cold) wax applied to your skin and a linen strip to rip the hair strand from it's follicle. It is not permanent and requires nearly monthly trips to the salon. It does have quicker results though. About the worst things that can happen are burnt skin and allergic reaction. Personally, I feel that waxing is safer, but not permanent and a monthly hassle (but women are used to that!).

Help about laser hair removal?

Heres what i found Normal side effects * Redness - after treatment, temporary redness of the skin can occur for 1-3 days on treated areas. * Swelling - slight swelling or irritation is possible at the follicle site post treatment, dissipating in 1-3 days. * Itching - itching or discomfort can occur on treated areas during laser sessions. * Slight Pain or Tingling - many patients report that the sensation of laser hair removal can be likened to the light snapping of a rubber band against the skin. While few find it painful, the sensation can vary depending on the sensitivity of a patient's skin; for sensitive-skinned patients, most laser clinics provide a topical anesthetic cream or spray to numb the skin. Rare Side effects * Bleeding or Scabbing - sometimes laser hair removal can irritate hair follicles, such that slight bleeding or the formation of scabs occur. This is often only an issue when areas are being over-treated. * Infection - if treated areas are not cleaned and disinfected properly prior to treatment, and post-treatment, a minor infection can set in. * Bruising - patients with very sensitive skin may experience slight bruising on treated areas. * Burning - burns to the skin are most often the result of improperly performed laser hair removal, or because a laser was used inappropriately on a specific skin and hair type. In such cases, the laser's energy gets absorbed by the skin rather than the hair itself and causes burns. * Changes in Skin Pigment - like burn side effects, hyperpigmentation (darkening of skin tone) and hypopigmentation (lightening of skin tone) are rare to occur if laser hair removal is performed by an experienced technician, and by using the correct laser technology. If the laser's energy is absorbed by the skin tissue rather than the hair follicle, it can either stimulate or inhibit melanin production, thus darkening or lightening skin tone. While this side effect is painless, the results can be permanent unless corrected through other skin treatments. Both hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation are found to be a greater risk for tanned or dark-skinned patients. * Purpura - the appearance of small purplish spots, the result of bleeding underneath the skin, is a possible side effect for some patients, but it's usually as temporary as bruising.
