Having excess hair on your face is an unpleasant and unattractive feature. One of the older options for removing this hair is waxing. This is especially painful when you do it to your face as the skin on your face is extremely sensitive and does not take kindly to having hot wax poured on it and the hair ripped out by the roots. And you do not have to do it just once, the hair grows back after a few weeks, often thicker and darker than the first time! Instead of waxing, consider a fraxel treatment. The hair is permanently removed in a few treatments. The laser target the base of each individual hair and kills the root, thus preventing the hair from growing back. This fraxel treatment is very effective on coarse, dark hair and least effective on fine light coloured hair.

Fraxel treatments can also be used to treat the varicose veins we all seem to get as we grow older. The Australian Medical Services Advisory Committee has found that laser removal is very effective for varicose vein removal. There are fewer complications involved in fraxel treatment of varicose veins than with the surgical options. The non surgical treatment does not require any anaesthetic or hospitalization and you will be able to carry on with your life immediately after the procedure. It also take a few treatments to be completely effective, but is much safer than the surgical removal of varicose veins. The time that passes between visits is just long enough for your body to recover and be ready for the next bout of vein removal. Giving your body time to adjust to new things is always better for you health then a sudden change and medication to help your body adjust and ward off infection.
