There are many methods of depilating unnecessary or excessive hair. Selection depends on many factors, including. pain sensitivity, color and type of hair, or degree of skin sensitivity. Epilation with a razor is the most popular. Many women choose this way of getting rid of unwanted hair because of the quick effect of smooth skin and lack of pain. However, the main disadvantage of this method is that the removed hair grows back within 1 – 2 days. In the case of other methods, this period is longer but is accompanied by less or no discomfort – waxing or electric depilation is too painful for many people. Currently, the most effective method of getting rid of unwanted hair is laser hair removal. It is painless and can be used on all areas of the body. It brings quick and lasting results.
Laser – a device that allows you to get rid of unwanted hair once and for all. What it does
Hair intensity is an individual trait. Among other things, it depends on the type of complexion – women with light complexions my usually have less body hair than women with darker skin tones. Typically, the hair of women in the former group is also thinner and less visible. Hair intensity is also affected by hormone levels – especially the male hormone testosterone. Its excess can cause the occurrence of the so-called “excess”. “male hair” in women i.e. In the area of the upper lip or chin.
The laser beam is absorbed by malanin, a pigment found in hair and skin. The higher the concentration of this pigment in the hair, the better the results of depilation with this method. Currently, treatments using different generations of devices are available on the market. A device with which you can get very good results even for people with light complexion and light hair type – is the Laser Motus AX- this device gives very good results for people who have not been satisfied with other methods of hair removal so far – emphasize specialists from Warsaw Beauty Skin Clinics.
The operation of this type of laser allows for 25% better energy absorption capabilities of the melanin contained in the hair than is the case with a diode laser. This means that it produces very good depilation results even for light and fine hair.
What does the treatment look like?
Before performing the procedure, the doctor determines the skin phototype and hair type. He then sets the parameters of the device in such a way as to achieve the best possible depilation effect and avoid burning the skin.
The number of treatments is determined individually depending on skin and hair type. Typically, full results are obtained after four treatments at four-week intervals. However, it should be remembered that in areas where hormone-dependent hair appears (in women – chin, upper lip area) new hair may appear in the future. The laser removes the hair currently present on the skin.
This method is painless, and does not cause any discomfort to the areas being depilated. It is also safe for the skin.
