Body hair can be a problem for men and women depending on their aesthetic understanding. There are many methods used in this regard. Although most of these are temporary, epilation offers a permanent solution.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser epilation is the process of removing hair with a laser beam.
effect
Although the skin transmits light, the hairs on the skin do not transmit light. This is because the melanin pigment in the hair, which gives it its dark color, absorbs light. With the laser epilation application, a fast beam is shot that focuses on the hair root through the laser device. These rays, which are concentrated in the hair root, turn into heat. Heat destroys the structure of hair-producing cells in the hair root and permanently inhibits hair production. After a series of applications, the hairs gradually disappear.
Advantages
It is fast: Laser application takes place in a very short time compared to other hair removal methods. For example, hair removal in the upper lip area takes only a few minutes. It can be applied to large areas in the same session.
Pain is less. Depending on the pain threshold of the person, it is in the form of a mild stabbing pain.
It is hygienic.
It leaves no trace. There may be redness and swelling for a few minutes after the application.
The skin areas other than the hair transmit the light and do not intensify it into heat, so no side effects are seen. It is a safe method that has been used for many years.
activity
The success of laser epilation is related to the application of skin color and hair structure. Its application at the recommended frequency increases the success. Depending on the situation, an application is usually made every 4-12 weeks.
In order to get effective results, it is correct to apply it during the growth phase when the hairs are most sensitive to light. This period will be specified by the expert. Efficiency and the number of sessions required are also related to the color of the skin and hair, hair thinness and hormonal structure. The light color reflecting the light on the skin and the dark color absorbing the light on the hair increase the success. Different laser tools should be chosen for different hair and skin types. The dose should be readjusted for each session and site. More sessions may be needed for the face compared to other areas.
The fact that the skin is protected from sunlight is also a factor that increases success. For this, it is recommended to apply before tanning. After the application, the skin should be protected from the sun as recommended.
Laser Hair Removal Preparation
Hair removal methods such as wax, tweezers and thread should not have been applied until at least 1 month before the laser epilation application.
In the first session, the characteristics of the hairs are evaluated and shortened accordingly. Anesthetic cream can be applied to this area, if necessary, for patients with a low pain threshold.
While Alexandrite is successful in light skin and dark hair, Nd Yag laser tools are more successful in all types of skin colors, fine hair, facial hair and deep hair.
