Welcome to our blog dedicated to laser hair removal! If you dream of smooth and beautiful skin without the need for daily shaving, you are in the right place. In this article, you will learn why laser hair removal has become one of the most popular and effective methods of hair removal.
What exactly is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a method of removing unwanted hair by using a laser light beam. It operates on the principle of selective photothermolysis, which means that the energy from the laser is absorbed by the melanin pigment located in the hair follicle, causing it to be destroyed, and the hair either stops growing or regrows in a significantly weakened manner. This means you can say goodbye to the hassle of shaving or waxing forever!
The procedure of laser hair removal:
Initial consultation and laser test: Before the treatment begins, the client attends a free consultation with a specialist. During this meeting, the client's skin and hair type are assessed, and a medical history is taken to rule out contraindications. A laser test is performed to determine the appropriate parameters for the specific body area.
Preparation for the procedure: Prior to laser hair removal, clients are usually advised to limit sun exposure for at least 2 weeks, avoid using self-tanners, products with gold particles, and reduce the use of herbs like calendula and St. John's wort. On the day of the procedure, the skin should be cleansed of makeup, creams, and deodorants. The area to be treated must be shaved the day before the procedure or on the day of the procedure itself to prevent irritation after shaving.
The depilation procedure: Various parts of the body are subjected to laser hair removal. After applying a water-based gel, the laser head is moved over the treatment area, and clients may feel slight stinging sensations. The skin is kept cool throughout the procedure. Hair growth is not a continuous process but occurs in three different phases: ANAGEN (growth phase), KATAGEN (regression phase), TELOGEN (resting phase). The laser beam damages only the hair in the active growth phase (anagen). Since only 20-30% of hairs are in the anagen phase during the first treatment, each person should undergo 5-8 sessions. The intervals between treatments should range from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the body area. The effectiveness depends mainly on hair color, thickness, depth, hormonal balance, and genetic predisposition.
Benefits of laser hair removal:
Long-Lasting Results: One of the main reasons why laser hair removal has become so popular is its long-lasting effects. Thanks to its precise targeting of hair follicles, the treatment can make hair much thinner, weaker, or even permanently stop it from growing back.
Speedy Procedure: Compared to other hair removal methods like shaving or waxing, laser hair removal is relatively quick. Larger areas of the body, such as the legs or back, can be treated in a relatively short amount of time. After completing 5-8 sessions of laser hair removal, you may only need a yearly touch-up.
Less Pain: Compared to some other methods like waxing or electrolysis, laser hair removal can be less painful and less invasive. Advanced technologies help minimize discomfort during the procedure. Many laser systems have cooling systems that alleviate the sensation of burning.
Safety and Effectiveness: Modern laser hair removal devices are designed with client safety in mind. Advanced technologies allow for precise targeting of hair, minimizing the risk of damaging surrounding tissues. The laser beam is absorbed by the hair pigment, preventing it from reaching the surrounding tissues.
Adaptability to Skin and Hair Type: Laser hair removal can be customized for various skin types and hair colors. Advanced devices offer different settings for wavelength, intensity, and pulse duration, allowing for personalized treatment for each client.
Skin Irritation-Free: With laser hair removal, you can forget about skin irritations that often occur after shaving or waxing. This is especially important for individuals with sensitive skin. Say goodbye to razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or strawberry legs.
Time Savings: By avoiding the need for daily shaving or regular waxing, you gain more time for yourself.
