  • When Razor Meets Skin: a Scientific Approach to Shaving by Dr
    When Razor Meets Skin: A Scientific Approach to Shaving by Dr. Diana Howard A survey conducted by The International Dermal Institute indicates that 79 percent of male respondents say they have one or more skin problem(s) that they notice daily, and yet the selection of their shaving products rarely takes this into account. Shaving can not only result in razor burn, ingrown hairs and razor bumps, but it can lead to increased sensitization and inflammation that results in premature aging. Unfortunately, as the average man’s beard grows two mm per day, there is ample opportunity to create an inflamed skin condition during shaving. As a matter of fact, if the average man starts shaving at age 13 and continues until he is 85 years old, and assuming he spends all of five minutes shaving each day, he will devote over six months of his life to just shaving his beard. As professional skin therapists, we may not be shaving our clients, but with the ever increasing number of men in skin treatment centers, salons and spas, we need to educate them about their specific skin care needs as it relates to shaving. Problems Associated with Shaving We know that the simple act of shaving imposes constant stress on the skin. Shaving is a form of physical exfoliation that can impact the health of the skin. Razor bumps, ingrown hairs, razor burn and inflammation are just some of the visible signs of trauma that the skin endures when a razor is used on the beard. Shaving triggers a high level of visible irritation and can lead to over- exfoliation, as well as a compromised lipid barrier.

  • WHO Surgical Site Infection Prevention Guidelines Web Appendix 7 Summary of a Systematic Review on the Effectiveness and Optimal Method of Hair Removal
    WHO Surgical Site infection Prevention Guidelines Web Appendix 7 Summary of a systematic review on the effectiveness and optimal method of hair removal 1. Introduction Removal of hair from the intended site of surgical incision has traditionally been part of the routine preoperative preparation of patients undergoing surgery. Hair removal may be necessary to facilitate adequate exposure to the site and preoperative skin marking. Furthermore, suturing and the application of wound dressings can be complicated by the presence of hair. Apart from these practical issues, hair has been associated with a lack of cleanliness and the potential to cause surgical site infection (SSI). However, there is also the belief that hair removal inversely increases the risk of SSI by causing microscopic trauma of the skin. To minimize the potential of skin trauma, the use of clippers instead of razors has been proposed for preoperative hair removal. Clippers cut the hair close to the skin without actually touching it, whereas razors involve a sharp blade drawn directly over the skin. A third method for hair removal is the application of depilatory creams containing chemicals. The drawbacks are the necessity to leave the cream in place for approximately 15-20 minutes for the hair to be dissolved and the potential for allergic reactions. A Cochrane review, published in 2009 and updated in 2011, concluded that there was no statistically significant effect on SSI rates of hair removal 1. However, a significant harm was seen when hair removal with razors was compared with clipping. 2. PICO questions 1. Does hair removal affect the incidence of SSI? 2.

  • Laser Hair Removal Information and Consent
    COSMETIC LASER AND AESTHETICS CENTER LIGHT SHEAR LASER HAIR REMOVAL INFORMATION AND CONSENT I understand that the purpose of this procedure is to reduce and/or remove unwanted hair. There are several alternatives to laser hair removal treatment including but not limited to electrolysis, shaving, waxing, plucking, or no treatment at all. I understand that the possible risks of the procedure include pain, bruising, swelling, redness, itching, skin inflammation or irritation (dermatitis), allergic reaction, ulcers, scarring, blistering, hypopigmentation, hyperpigmentation, mottling of skin vascularity and pigmentation, and other unforeseen complications, and that these can be temporary or permanent. I understand that a single procedure will most likely fail to remove all my unwanted hair in the area treated. Multiple treatments are required, although we may not be able to ever remove 100% of the hair. Individual response will vary according to skin types, hair color, degree of color/tanning, follow up care, and the body area being treated. Eye injury is possible but unlikely, providing complete eye protection is properly used throughout laser treatment sessions. I understand the treatment may be painful, but this is typically manageable without any pain medication. Color changes, such as hyperpigmentation (brown/red discoloration) or hypopigmentation (skin lightening), may occur in treated skin and may be temporary or permanent. This may take several months to resolve, if at all. Unprotected sun exposure in the weeks following treatments
