Laser Hair Removal Side Effects - Are You Safe?
- By: Tim Croy

As the quest for the perfect hair removal solution commences, the laser continues to reign supreme. Nevertheless, as technologically advanced as this process is, there are side effects that you should know about. The most common side effects of laser hair removal include mild redness and swelling to the affected area, both of which should subside and dissapear after the first few hours.



Serious laser hair removal side effects are very rare, and are usually caused by a few well known factors, and can generally be prevented. Individuals that have lighter hair or darker skin are more prone to these side effects, such as discoloration of skin (striping), blistering, and/or burning. However, those with darker hair and lighter skin need not worry because the contrast from dark hair to light skin makes it easy to spot treat these areas with the laser. For those who have recently tanned artificially or naturally it is generally recommended that they wait to get the procedure done, as the chances for unwanted side effects will diminish greatly once the skin tone has lightened.



Another major factor that can reduce the chances of experiencing laser hair removal side effects, is to do your "due diligence" on the clinic or person performing the actual procedure. Ask the clinic how long their technicians have been doing this particular procedure. Ask to see results or pictures. It is also important to find out the type of laser they will be using. In the world of hair removal, not all lasers are created equally. Sometimes clinics will try to skimp on costs and purchase lower quality equipment. The different types of lasers involved are beyond the scope of this article, however, consulting with a few clinics will generally give you a clear idea on what's best for you.



The truth is, if done correctly, laser hair removal is generally quick, easy, and painless. The normal side effects of laser hair removal are very minor. And serious side effects can be prevented if one does their homework correctly. So if you're still asking the question - "is laser hair removal safe for me?" The answer is a definate Yes!

All Natural Insecticide Products - 3 Reasons To Switch
- By: Tim Croy

Many people are concerned about the impact of insecticide products that use a high concentration of chemicals to produce the desired effect. Because of this, there is a growing market of all natural insecticide products. Below, I discuss just a few of the many benefits of using natural insecticides over other mainline products.



First, all natural insecticide products to not contain many of the harsh chemicals used in normal insecticide sprays. While these harsh chemicals kill or disperse insects on contact, they can often be very harmful to their surrounding environment, too. This is not so with natural insecticides. While they may take slightly longer to take effect – say one to two days – they will not inflict any damage on the surrounding environment. By using natural insecticides, you will improve the eco-stability of your lawn or garden.



Next, natural insecticides tend to be less harmful to human beings (although they are not entirely harmless). If you have children or neighbors who play in your yard, you wont have to worry about them coming into contact with the insecticide, since many of these products are made with ingredients such as vinegar and other non-toxic substances. However, with that said, it is important to note that you should always read warning labels on natural insecticide products, as they can sometimes contain components that irritate skin and are harmful if ingested.



Last, while mainline bug sprays tend to be cheaper, natural insecticides generally offer enough benefits to outweigh the extra cost. Most producers of naturally formulated products do not have the benefit of the mass production that occurs with mainline insecticides, so the production costs are higher. Keep in mind that the extra dollars you pay help to keep the business going, which translates into more people having all natural insecticide products available in local stores as time goes on. The end result is managing a pest problem while doing less damage to the environment, which is definitely a worthy goal.

Many people are concerned about the impact of insecticide products that use a high concentration of chemicals to produce the desired effect. Because of this, there is a growing market of all natural insecticide products.
