We all have a special relationship with our hairiness, according to our physical particularities and the aesthetic codes that we validate..
The latter has long been reserved for a certain category of people only (one of your stars on Instagram certainly uses it), the prices charged for the sessions were beyond the reach of ordinary mortals. But in recent years, there has been a drop in its price and a democratization. Here’s everything you need to know about this method, and most importantly the trendy preferences.
How it works ?
The latter allows it to be absorbed only by the melanin of the hair so as not to damage the skin itself. The light emitted by the ray is absorbed by the melanin of the hair to the hair bulb, which causes the hair to grow.
The resulting heat damages the germ cells. The consequence is that the treated area will no longer be able to produce hair. Laser hair removal is a medical procedure, so it must be performed by or under the supervision of a dermatologist. It should also be noted that this method is ineffective on blond or red hair, because they are devoid of melanin and do not absorb the laser beam. Here, we accept everyone (specific devices exist for dark skin)!
Some information and precautions to take
Here are some important information and precautions to take before a hair removal session with a laser epilator:
- Make sure you understand the protocol: principle, risks, side effects, number of sessions and duration of treatment…
- Shave the day of the session (Laser and wax are not good friends. The wax tears the hair to the bulb, the laser is no longer effective, because it no longer has a target to attack;),
- Protect yourself from the sun before the hair removal session and generally for the duration of the treatment,
- From the first session, we appreciate the benefit: slow regrowth, reduction then disappearance of ingrown hairs,
- Small redness may appear and last for less than 2 days. In case of pain, itching and for any questions after a session: do not hesitate to contact the Center and consult one of our laser doctors.
- Prepare your budget. Laser hair removal is a long-term investment. The prices indicated are the price of a session. The number of sessions is indicative because each person is different and the results depend on the biology of each. As a general rule, it is best to discontinue treatment when no further progress is seen.
- Dedicate time because the sessions last between 20 minutes (shirt) and 1 hour (legs + shirt), the technological evolution and the most recent lasers (2020) are faster and more efficient, which reduces the duration of the sessions .
- Your comfort during the session will be improved thanks to the application of anesthetic cream 1h30 to 2h before the session.
Fashion preferences in the use of laser hair removal
This method of permanent hair removal is increasingly known and appreciated. The laser is no longer reserved for a category of people. For the areas to be depilated, certain parts of the body are more in demand for the laser.
- Down on the upper lip or chin : To drastically reduce hairiness, the laser is a preferred option for a growing number of people. Already, its result makes it possible to satisfy people who perceive their facial hair as unsightly. Also, unlike razors, it does not make the hair coarser and the skin darker. No more pimples after shave too
Some people have excessive body hair and do not feel comfortable in their bodies. Thanks to the laser, they have a solution to live better in their bodies. The arms and legs are regularly exposed and relatively sensitive areas. Repeated hair removal, with a blade or wax, causes discomfort that the laser soothes.
- The jersey is a very sensitive area. And preferences vary, with some preferring to keep their hair full while others want it smooth. It is necessary to take into account the final character of this depilation because the reversal is not possible.
