Laser hair removal has become very popular in recent times. It is the only method that can permanently get rid of unwanted hair. The laser also reduces the risk of skin irritation caused by classic depilation methods, such as regular shaving. In addition, it saves us a lot of time and money on buying special hair removal products or razors. Laser epilation is increasingly being used by both ladies and gentlemen. Find out what the laser does and learn about the lasers used in our clinic for epilation!
What does laser hair removal look like?
Laser epilation is a relatively new method of hair removal. It guarantees to get rid of the problem of regrowing hair, as it removes the hair structures that are responsible for its growth. The laser emits light beams of different lengths that penetrate the hair and destroy it. By having a destructive effect on the hair follicles, it not only removes hair, but also ensures that it does not grow back again. During the procedure, the continuity of the epidermis is not violated, and the light beams penetrate deep into the skin. The procedure is virtually non-invasive.
Is laser hair removal painful?
We often associate shaving or hair removal with waxing with irritation and pain. How is it with laser epilation? By combining the laser with special Skin Cooling Systems, it can be performed in great comfort, including for those with a very low pain threshold. In our clinic, specialists use as many as three professional refrigerators that reduce the sensation of discomfort to a minimum. In addition, for some lasers, their heads are equipped with special sapphire glass, which has a cooling effect and further guarantees the safety of the treatment.
Who should not undergo laser epilation?
Laser hair removal is a very safe procedure, but there are some contraindications that prevent it from being performed. Foremost among these are a fresh tan. So a good time to perform laser epilation is autumn or winter. Then we will also not be exposed to skin exposure to the sun, which is inadvisable after laser epilation treatments. Other contraindications include pregnancy, lactation, as well as active skin infections or taking photosensitizing drugs. During the initial consultation, specialists rule out such contraindications and decide whether to perform the procedure.
Epilacja laserowa Vectus
An example of a laser used to perform laser epilation at Beauty Skin is the Vectus laser. It is distinguished by a built-in sensor for the level of melanin in the skin. Such a sensor allows to choose the ideal treatment parameters individually for each patient. This not only makes the treatment safer, but also features higher efficiency. Typically, 4 to 6 treatments are needed to get rid of the problem with unwanted hair on a particular body part permanently. However, the exact amount depends on the individual predisposition of the patient.
