A Look at Shinepil Laser Hair Removal Treatments

Posted Mar 14, 2009

Women have been vexed by the prospect of leg hair removal for nearly a century. Early leg-hair removal methods were quite uncomfortable, however things have improved for ladies over time. One of these improvements is the shinepil treatment. Just what does the shinepil treatment do?

For starters, shinepil is a new treatment that is just about ready to hit the mainstream market. It's purpose? To eliminate outdated, time-consuming, or painful methods of hair removal. Nearly all women have waxed their legs at some point in time. Heat the wax, apply it to the hairy area with a stick and cloth, then rip the hair right out at the root in one fell swoop. Ouch!

Shaving is far less painful than the aforementioned, however it can leave skin dry, itchy, and nicked with cuts. Additionally, it must be done again and again and again.

Shinepil takes advantage of recent advances in laser hair removal to provide a convenient, home-based method of hair removal. Through a process called selective photothermolysis, the laser pulses an intense beam of alight directly onto the skin for a brief second. The wavelength of the light it puts out is a specifically calculated amount that is designed to be absorbed by the nearest dark area (the hair shaft compared to the skin color), destroying it without harming even a layer of skin. Because of the way this system works, lighter skinned people often have the best results, however it has been tested and show effective on all skin types.
