A loss of self-confidence among young people leads to low mood and anxiety, but this can be overcome. Discover the solutions that bring about the much-desired change, using state-of-the-art technology and the expertise of highly qualified medical professionals. You’ll learn how to give the best gift to a teenager with unwanted body hair, with the help of laser centre Body Aesthetics.
The problem of unwanted body hair in girls and boys arises during the complex teenage stage of development that we all go through. As we grow from children into adults, our bodies undergo a series of difficult physiological, emotional and intellectual changes. One of the major challenges at this age is the appearance of body hair, along with all the other secondary sexual characteristics.
During puberty, the brain releases hormones that stimulate the production of oestrogen in girls and testosterone in boys. The bodies of teenagers begin to produce sebum. Consequently, the skin becomes oilier and body hair appears for the first time in certain areas. This causes a great deal of excitement, comments from peers and anxiety. Between the ages of 10 and 15, so-called „initial“ hair growth begins – fine and straight. Later, it becomes darker in colour, with curlier and coarser hair. Underarm hair appears within two years of pubic hair growth. By the end of the teenage years, all body hair is fully developed. From this point onwards, it is indistinguishable from that of adults.
There are two main physiological issues associated with unwanted body hair in teenage girls and boys. One is the premature onset of hair growth – during childhood. In this case, we advise parents to consult a doctor and have the relevant hormonal tests carried out. The other is excessively heavy hair growth, which is more likely to be due to genetic factors or, in rare cases, a hormonal imbalance. In such situations, we also advise you to consult a specialist. These conditions can be treated with timely intervention and following consultation with a doctor – an endocrinologist or andrologist.
Often The more serious problem is the one with the complex, which has arisen due to the inability to control unwanted body hair in teenage girls and boys. For many people, the battle with body hair begins precisely at this age. Comparisons with the unrealistically smooth-skinned people in TV adverts and magazines also contribute to a constant sense of shame. This leads to all sorts of home experiments with wax, creams and small devices, which do not always have a positive effect on the skin. Just a decade ago, at least here in Bulgaria, there was no more modern method than hair removal cream and those old torture devices – spring-loaded epilators. Now we have laser hair removal, which solves this problem in the long term and relatively painlessly, whilst also saving time and money. In other words, you now have the perfect gift idea for a teenager facing this sort of tricky situation.
As well as the traditional methods of shortening hair (shaving, using a trimmer, depilation) or removing it from the root (epilation, tweezers or waxing), there are new and convenient permanent
solutions. Here we are talking about laser hair removal using state-of-the-art technology.
The success of the method is due to the destruction of the hair follicle through photothermolysis. This involves the conversion of concentrated light energy into heat deep within the skin. Laser hair removal during adolescence has one huge advantage. It lies in the fact that Once removed, it is highly unlikely that hair will grow back in the treated areas after puberty.
It is important to note here that a 100 per cent success rate cannot be guaranteed in teenagers with hormonal imbalances. This may be the reason why unwanted hair growth persists in girls and boys, even though the hair follicles are destroyed during laser treatment. In such cases, you can seek advice from your therapist or arrange a further consultation with an endocrinologist.
For most people of this age, the decision is also a question of budget. Yes, on the one hand, laser hair removal is certainly more expensive than wax and razors. In the long run, however, at правилен избор на апарата и мястото, тя ще намали трайно окосмяването за години напред. За сравнение, коламаска трябва да правите през няколко седмици.
On the other hand, many people believe that they will have to pay for laser hair removal every month for a long period of time. This is also an inaccurate claim. The misconception arises because some salons encourage their clients to visit every 30 days. However, such measures actually reduce the effectiveness of laser hair removal.
When undergoing full-body laser hair removal, there is something truly important to bear in mind. In different areas where hair is removed, hair grows at different rates, and hair removal is carried out only during the active phase of hair growth. For example, facial treatments are carried out every 30–45 days, treatments for the arms, underarms and intimate areas every 45–60 days, and treatments for the legs every 60–90 days. For the first few sessions at Body Aesthetics, we tend to stick to the minimum intervals, whilst for the second and third sessions we opt for the maximum intervals. This ensures that the hairs are in the anagen phase of their growth cycle and that the treatment will be effective.
Laser hair removal as a method of permanent hair removal has now become established worldwide, and has been gaining ground in Bulgaria for years. The type of laser used to carry out the procedure is of crucial importance. The GentleLase Pro, the most powerful alexandrite laser, treats the widest range of hair types – from thick and dark to very fine, thin and light. The person’s skin type and hair type are important factors in determining the device’s settings and parameters during the treatment. It is also crucial to adhere to the recommended intervals between treatments. Therefore, you should only place your trust in centres staffed by medical professionals with the necessary expertise and equipped with high-quality apparatus. Such as Body Aesthetics, where we combine both of these factors.
We at Body Aesthetics have set ourselves an ambitious goal. It is to provide our visitors with the most advanced solutions to help them meet the challenges of today’s world. For the young people of today, these challenges are becoming ever more numerous. However, we believe that unwanted body hair in girls and boys no longer has to be one of them.
