What does laser hair removal provide? What you need to know about laser hair removal and how fast and effective it is to remove unwanted hair. Video: the essence of the procedure

Thanks to innovative cosmetic procedures, you can simply and effectively get rid of almost any external flaw. So, removing body hair with a razor today is almost the same as doing a manicure with a chainsaw. The problem of excess hair is successfully solved by laser hair removal, without the daily routine and unpleasant consequences such as peeling, blackheads, ingrown hairs and skin irritation.
To learn more about this procedure, we turned to the head of the Moscow studios, Delight Laser and Epilaserman, Alena Kaygorodova.
This salon uses the latest lasers with Iplaser technology. With them, the procedure is as comfortable as possible, and the devices themselves are suitable for almost all skin types.
An experienced cosmetologist told how to prepare for laser hair removal and how to avoid becoming a victim of deception by unscrupulous clinics.

1. How does laser hair removal work?

In order for laser light energy to affect hair, the body must have special substances that would attract, absorb, and carry out a physical and chemical reaction. The main absorbent substance needed for laser hair removal is melanin. It is what gives color to hair and skin.

Melanin has 3 fractions: eumelanin, responsible for dark shades, pheomelanin, responsible for light shades, and neuromelanin, which is located in the structures of the brain. Ultimately, the predominance of one faction or another will determine the final shade of hair color. Only eumelanin has light-absorbing abilities. The remaining fractions reflect light, so hair removal blonde hair, be it light fluff, blond or gray hair, is impossible. For such people, laser hair removal is a waste of time and money. They are usually recommended to turn to other types of hair removal: depilation or electrolysis.

When light energy is absorbed by hair shafts containing melanin, various reactions occur in the subcutaneous tissues, the main of which is thermal. The hair is heated to a high temperature, which leads to the destruction of the follicle. Therefore, the process of light hair removal is called thermolysis (thermo - temperature, lysis - destruction), and from a scientific point of view, photo and laser hair removal is correctly called photothermolysis (light-thermal destruction). With photothermolysis, hair is heated to 70-80 degrees Celsius. All cells of the hair follicle die, including the cells of the hair papilla, so hair growth does not resume for a long time.

But, unfortunately, the structure of the follicle is regenerable, so it is impossible to permanently remove hair.
You also need to understand that there are different phases of hair's life: the growth stage, the intermediate stage and the resting stage. Laser hair removal can only remove hair that is in the growth phase, as it is saturated with melanin. From 20% to 90% of the epilation zone is in the growth phase, so after about 2 weeks, hair loss occurs in patches. The transition from the sleep phase to the growth phase takes 21-28 days, which determines the interval between procedures for a maximum of 30-31 days.

But it happens that due to individual characteristics, the transition takes more than a month. In this case, a month after the procedure, you need to be guided by the hairs that appear: if they are there, then the transition has occurred and you can work.

Often, after 3-5 sessions, the follicle tries to replenish the lost bulbs and activates their maturation. This reaction is natural, it is called “paradoxical growth.” But this quickly goes away with subsequent procedures. The main thing is to calm down, don’t panic and just continue the course.

2. Which technology has the best price/quality ratio?

Today there are dozens of lasers from different manufacturers. But they can all be reduced to several types: alexandrite, diode, neodymium, Elos, AFT, IPL and IPLASER.
We only use lasers with the IPLASER system as they are safe, effective and painless. Our masters are qualified physicians, as it is important to assess the risk and possibility of laser hair removal individually for each client.

3. On which parts of the body can hair be removed with a laser, and on which cannot?

Using a laser, you can remove hair from any part of the body, even on the labia of women, in the nose or ears. The exception is the eyes. Since the skin around the eyes is very thin, to avoid the risk of any damage or consequences, we do not epilate the hair under the eyebrows, but we can do it between and above.

4. How many procedures are needed for complete hair removal?

This is an individual question. There are many scammers on the market who promise to do this in 6, 5 and even 4 sessions, but this is a trick to attract clients, nothing more. Yes, there are rare exceptions when girls’ hair disappeared in 4 sessions, but the probability of such a result is approximately 0.5%. More realistic figures are 6-10 sessions. This is on average. This means that sometimes there are 12. We honestly warn our clients about this so that they are mentally prepared.

In addition, when the master tells you the exact number of sessions you need, this should alert you. In life, no specialist can say exactly how many sessions you will need for complete hair removal. One thing is the color, thickness and density of hair. Yes, we can consider them and assess the complexity of the case. But there are factors such as hormones and heredity, and no one can predict their behavior. And even if you take a bunch of expensive tests, there is no guarantee that the readings will not change after six months. So is hair growth.

5. How to care for your skin between sessions?

What not to do before laser hair removal:

• depilate the selected area (waxing/sugaring/electric epilator) less than 30 days before the session. Because during depilation, the hair is removed along with the follicle, and we simply have nothing to influence;
• sunbathe 7 days before the procedure;
• use peelings and scrubs three days before the session.

What to do after laser hair removal:

• Avoid exposure to the sun or solarium for 7-10 days. If you are planning a vacation at sea, you can use sunscreen (minimum SPF50) and apply it every 3-4 hours to all areas of the body that were exposed to light. If possible, try to protect the treated areas from direct rays;
• in the interval between procedures, exclude any alternative methods of hair removal and depilation, except shaving;
• We expect hair loss from 10 to 21 days. We don't rip them out. You can only help them fall off with a washcloth or scrub.

No special cosmetics or care are needed.
Like any cosmetic procedure, laser hair removal has contraindications. This:

• acute allergic skin reactions, in particular an allergic reaction to light - photodermatosis;
• exacerbation of chronic diseases (eczema, psoriasis, lichen planus, ichthyosis, atopic dermatitis, lupus erythematosus, scleroderma, bullous dermatoses, collagenosis, vasculitis, dyschromia);
• coronary heart disease and hypertension;
• herpes in the acute stage;
• dangerous varicose veins (anticoagulants should be stopped a month in advance);
• any benign and malignant neoplasms;
• acute infectious diseases;
• pregnancy and breastfeeding (lactation);
• We simply bypass moles, nevi, pigment and birthmarks, papillomas, retreating from them by 2-3 mm;
• if you have recently had botulinum toxin injections.

After Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Relatox, various dermafillers and biorevitalizants based on hyaluronic acid, hair removal in injection areas can only be done after 2 months. This is due to the fact that any type of energy accelerates the breakdown of administered drugs. But in other areas you can epilate as usual.

6. Is laser hair removal a painful procedure?

Depends on the laser. On Alexandrite, for example, cases of burns are not uncommon. With our laser, the maximum you will feel is a slight tingling sensation or a feeling of warmth. There was a case when a client was indignant at the painlessness of the procedure and was worried that there would be no effect.
Unfortunately, many girls come to us with traces of burns and scars after visiting other clinics. However, it is important to understand that making the client feel nothing at all is not yet possible by any technology.

7. Is there a risk of ingrown hairs, folliculitis or skin cancer?

There is no risk of ingrown hairs. Moreover, the laser gets rid of them too. If the hair is not too deep, then the light reaches it, the hair dies and gradually the skin pushes it to the surface. Depending on how advanced the case is, these ingrown hairs may take anywhere from 1 to 8 months to go away.

Before the procedure, you need to shave the selected area. This recommendation is rarely given, because for most lasers you need to grow hair to 3-5 mm. For ours, there is no need to do this, which is certainly more comfortable in everyday life.

If the client wants to remove hair above the lip or on the arms and has not touched it there before, then the specialist can remove the hair himself before epilation using an electric trimmer.
Well, the most important thing is not to read horror stories, but to tune in to a positive mood.

9. Is it true that laser removes hair forever?

Regular procedures are needed. Since the hair on our body is in different growth phases, we can only influence those that are active. Therefore, a full course of laser hair removal can last for six months, until all the hairs wake up one by one and we “light up” them during the period of active growth.

10. Are there any restrictions for girls with skin conditions: pigmentation, vitiligo or albinism?

Yes, there are restrictions. As stated, laser hair removal is not possible for blonde hair. Also a difficult case is red hair (Scandinavian skin phototype). They are accepted, but with a probability of 50 to 50. There have been cases when the hair came out no worse than dark hair, and it happened that the laser did not work.

It is important to determine the nature of the skin features. At the everyday level, determining whether laser hair removal is harmful or not is quite simple: imagine, will heating the skin in the problem area be harmful? If you don’t see anything good in this, then most likely you shouldn’t do hair removal.

As a rule, we bypass pigmentation with a handle. In any case, it is better to consult a dermatologist.

11. What should you beware of when choosing a salon?

First of all, I would like to open my eyes to what methods of fraud there are in this area.

First, the laser. Now many salons buy cheap Chinese LEDs, which are ineffective. Very often in such salons the prices for procedures are prohibitively low, for example 200 rubles for the upper lip. If this is not a promotion, but a regular price, then you should be wary.

Secondly, lasers have a part (the lamp or the handle as a whole) that needs to be changed. For example, in our laser the handle needs to be changed every 600-700 thousand flashes, since the lamp power drops, and with it the result of the procedure. But many unscrupulous salons neglect this and shine with “empty” lamps. The effect is the same as at home under a light bulb.
Particularly cunning salons do the first 1-2 sessions with a normal laser so that the client sees the effect, and then, at the 3-4th session, they can do it with an “empty” handle. As a result, the person is convinced that the problem is in his characteristics, and not in the shortcomings of the equipment, because at first there was an effect.

Thirdly, unscrupulous salons carry out procedures despite obvious signs that laser hair removal is not suitable for the client. One day a girl approached us with a request to rid her of the hair on her arms. She went to an expensive clinic for 1.5 years and did not get any effect. At first glance, everything became clear: she had white translucent hair. When we said that, in principle, no laser can treat such hair, she was shocked and said that she could already buy a car with the money she left at that clinic.

Or another case. A very dark man with black hair on his back, stomach and chest came. The master noticed that they were already growing stubble and asked what they were doing before. The client said that he had already gone to laser. The master suggested that there was probably only 1 session at most, because the hair was growing quite thick. But the man admitted that he had already done 15 sessions on Alexandrite in an expensive clinic. Most likely, in order not to burn the skin (Alexandrite can only remove hair on the skin up to the 4th phototype), they turned down the power to the maximum, but it was not enough to burn the hair. As a result, the man started our course from scratch. After the first session, the effect was immediately visible; about 99% of the hair that was in the active stage was gone.

Here's what they won't tell you in any salon:

1. Laser hair removal Doesn't remove hair forever. Only for 12 months, in rare cases up to 5 years. We can say that forever, but subject to supporting procedures. After some time, some hairs will still wake up.

2. Laser hair removal is not completely pain-free - there will still be unpleasant sensations. The only difference is in strength: from tingling, as with electrophoresis, to burns.

3. Some lasers can cause hair to grow darker than before. Our specialists recently encountered this effect. We contacted girls who, after visiting other salons, began to grow guns on their hips instead dark hair. My colleagues told me that after Alexandrite, unfortunately, sometimes this happens.

4. Before epilating your entire body, try the laser on a small area of ​​skin. For example, we conduct a free test drive - this is when you can do one armpit, see what happens in 2-3 weeks, and if the result suits you, then come to us for a serious procedure. And one more thing. Some clients say that you need to find a laser that is right for you. So try different ones. We hope that the Soft laser salon will become “your” place for you.

Thanks to developments in modern ophthalmology, the use of a scalpel is becoming less and less common during operations. This is due to the fact that new techniques are emerging in ophthalmology and eye microsurgery, with the help of which the operation is performed using laser.

Compared to other types of operations, this is the safest and effective method operative therapy in microsurgery.

It is mainly prescribed to patients aged 18 to 55 years who have a disorder:

• Myopia.
• Hypermetropia.

The main task during laser eye correction is to achieve precise focusing of the image on the retina of the eyeball. So that the patient regains the sharpness of visual perception and clarity of display of surrounding objects.

Advantages of laser surgery

Laser surgery has been used in medical practice for about 30 years. During this time, observations have shown its superiority compared to other surgical interventions.

To the main positive qualities can be attributed:

Indications for laser surgery

Indications:

In addition, surgical treatment can be performed:

• If the value is from 1 to 15 diopters.
• Hypermetropia from 1 to 6 diopters.
• Astigmatism 0.5 to 5 diopters.

Contraindications for laser surgery

As with any type of therapy, laser eye correction cannot be performed in all cases. There are many reasons why surgery is not performed.

The most common reasons for refusal surgical intervention using a laser:

Such pathologies make it possible to develop irreversible changes after surgery.

If the patient, for any reason, uses steroids medicines, or medications aimed at suppressing the immune system, the process of regeneration and recovery in the postoperative period may be delayed.

Relative contraindications

Relative restrictions are temporary, and as they are eliminated, surgical intervention can be performed.

Absolute contraindications

But there are situations in which laser surgery is completely excluded:

Preparing for surgery

Before the operation you must:

Immediately before laser surgery, the patient must:

Equipment for laser correction

Modern ophthalmological clinics are equipped the latest types laser systems that allow high-precision operations.

Excimer laser WaveLight EX500

This is a device, the latest achievement of scientists in the field of laser ophthalmology. Has increased laser speed.

This contributes to a minimal thermal effect on the cornea of ​​the eye.

It does not cause symptoms of dehydration, which has a beneficial effect in the postoperative period (rapid tissue healing occurs).

When using this setting, the laser depth can be automatically adjusted. This allows you to obtain data on the thickness of the cornea at all stages of the operation, if necessary.

The infrared tracking system allows you to monitor the position of the eyeball in relation to the center of the pupil or the edge of the cornea. This significantly increases the accuracy of all manipulations.

You can achieve a positive effect:

• For myopia up to 14 diopters.
• Astigmatism and farsightedness up to 6 diopters.

VISX Star S4 IR laser

Unlike other laser systems, this device allows vision correction in advanced forms of myopia and hypermetropia.

After vision correction, the installation creates a smoothed corneal surface.

The use of this device minimizes the development side effects and rapid recovery in the postoperative period.

It is possible to eliminate myopia if the indicators of visual impairment do not exceed 16 diopters. For farsightedness and astigmatism, the indicator should be no more than 6 diopters.

Femtosecond laser FS200 WaveLight

This device is a record holder for the formation of a corneal flap. This manipulation can be performed within 6 seconds.

With another device, you need to spend 20 seconds to carry out such actions.

What is unique is that, using this laser model, the ophthalmologist has the opportunity to form a corneal flap, while completely controlling its thickness, diameter, alignment and morphology.

Does not cause damage to nearby tissues and blood vessels. This device allows laser correction to be performed on patients who have anatomically thin corneas.

Microkeratome

Using these devices, laser eye correction is performed using the .

In this case, the inner layers of the cornea are affected.

It is very important that most of these devices can operate without external power sources (autonomous).

Moria Evolution 3

Allows you to perform the preparatory stage of forming a corneal flap.

The design of the device makes it possible to take an individual approach to this stage of the operation, taking into account.

In the vast majority of cases this gives a positive result. And the patient’s sensations, discomfort or pain practically do not appear.

Epikeratome Epi-K

The purpose of this device is to separate the epithelial layer of the cornea, which creates the opportunity for subsequent laser correction.

The uniqueness of this device is that the removed epithelial flap has a minimum thickness, and the subsequent operation is performed in a gentle manner.

Photorefractive keratectomy and laser intrastromal keratomyelosis

To correct vision using a laser, three main techniques are used.

They are considered:

• FRK(photorefractive keratectomy). This technique was one of the first to appear. It is used to this day to eliminate the symptoms of myopia in the early stages. Initially, the epithelial layer of the cornea is removed, the deeper layers are evaporated. Recovery after surgery occurs within 5 days, less often it can take a week.
• LASEK(subepithelial keratomileusis). The operation is mainly performed on patients with an individual characteristic of a thin corneal layer. Using Bowman's membrane, stroma, and the epithelial layer, a valve is created, which is fixed with a contact lens. The operation is usually well tolerated by patients, the rehabilitation period occurs in a short time.
• LASIK(laser keratomileusis). Compared to other methods of laser corneal correction, this is the safest and most gentle type of surgery. Surgical intervention is divided into two stages:
  • First, the superficial corneal layer is cut off with a laser beam.
  • The second stage involves the elimination of pathological processes in the deep layers of the cornea, followed by restoration of the cut-off layer.

This technique allows you to get rid of advanced forms of any eye pathologies. The main advantage of this type of operation is the almost complete absence of complications and side effects.

IN lately This methodology has expanded and been supplemented in three areas:

• Super LASIK. Occurs using a high-precision apparatus, taking into account individual characteristics the structure of the patient's visual organs. Has higher efficiency rates than previous methods.
• Femto Super LASIK. The method is similar to the previous version, the main difference is the cutting of the cornea using a femto laser.
• Presby LASIK. Surgical intervention using this technique is performed in people over 40 years of age.

According to most experts, the most promising and safest method is LASIK.

Postoperative period

To avoid negative reactions from the body and the occurrence of complications, it is necessary to comply with the rules and regulations that are prescribed by the ophthalmologist:

Consequences of surgery performed using a laser

Like any type of surgical intervention, when performing laser vision correction, unwanted side effects may develop.

The consequences include:

Restoring vision in myopia

Most often used:

Restoring vision in case of farsightedness

To cope with this pathological process, you can resort to traditional methods of therapy.

They are:

In addition, people suffering from farsightedness are recommended to use:

Restoring vision with astigmatism

The correct choice of technique in the treatment of astigmatism can only be made by an ophthalmologist. It is impossible to solve this problem on your own.

To carry out complex therapy, the doctor may prescribe:

Cost of laser vision correction

Basically, this type of operation is paid. The approximate price may vary (depending on the region of Russia) from 27,000 to 105,000 rubles. The complexity and type of laser correction are also taken into account.

In some cases, applications from working citizens may be considered, after submission of which it becomes possible to return a tax deduction (13%).

In all other situations, insurance companies consider this type of surgical intervention as cosmetic procedure. This is an argument for the patient to pay on his own.

Sometimes companies can give a discount to regular customers or low-income social groups.

Conclusion

Laser surgery is a promising method for treating eye pathologies.

In most cases, the patient immediately after the operation forgets what glasses or contact lenses are.

In addition to restored vision, the operation creates a positive psycho-emotional mood for the patient.

Swiss diode laser hair removal center V Klinik (formerly “Vogue”), offers laser hair removal with the help patented nozzle, which will remove even the most tenacious hairs.

Tell "STOP" endlessly growing hairs, choose the only one effective method - laser hair removal. So that you have no doubts, we will clearly show how it works and what it gives laser hair removal.

How is laser hair removal done?

Using a special laser device Thermal influence is directed to the hair growth area. It heats the hair and destroys the hair follicle along with the hair papilla. The only one in Russia nozzle "Erweit Düse", which we use, distinguishes between skin pigment and hair pigment. This prevents damage to vital organs skin. If the hair pigment is missing, the beam energy is dissipated without heating the skin.

The feeling of the procedure itself is similar to a tingling sensation. Erweit Düse nozzle sends an instant cooling shot following the thermal energy. Thus, the following tendency is achieved: the hair shaft is heated, then immediately cooled. It’s like being in the sun: in order not to overheat, you need to go into the water from time to time. This technique does not allow the appearance of steam, which could burn capillaries, nerve endings, blood vessels, sebaceous and sweat glands.

The essence laser hair removal consists of destroying the root system, making further hair growth impossible. In addition, internal microdamage stimulates a powerful release of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The skin becomes elastic, soft and velvety. In addition, girls who completed a course of laser hair removal of the buttocks and thighs noted a decrease in the appearance of cellulite.

How quickly hair falls out and how many laser hair removal treatments are needed.

After the procedure, after 10-14 days, treated hair falls out. Destroyed in one session 20-25% follicles in the active growth phase. The dormant phase of hair growth lasts from 2 to 4 months. For these reasons, 4 to 6 procedures are necessary.

The interval between sessions is individual and depends on the speed of hair growth. On average it is 21 days with a subsequent increase to 2-3 months. The end result awaits you permanent removal of 95-98% of excess hair.
You will forget about constant painful procedures that only gave the desired result for a short time.

Laser correction is the most effective and safe method treatment of farsightedness, myopia, astigmatism of various degrees in our time. This operation improves vision by eliminating the need for uncomfortable lenses or glasses.

As you understand, laser correction helps restore vision. But there are certain criteria for carrying out the operation.

• 1 month before surgery, contact correction is canceled.
• You need to take tests prescribed by your doctor.
• The operation is carried out as planned if you do not have acute chronic diseases.
• The day before the operation, the eyes begin to dribble.

Day of the operation

• Cannot be used cosmetics, creams, perfume.
• There must be changeable shoes.
• Clothes must have an open collar.
• Take the sun safety glasses.
• Having a passport.

Period after surgery

In the first days you may experience watery eyes, poor reaction to light, painful sensations. But the degree of manifestation is greater with PRK surgery, as well as with individual pain sensitivity.

You should not touch your eye for several days. You can’t squint your eyes or not wash your face for one day. You need to sleep on your back. And don’t forget to drip some drops! The recovery process lasts from 1 to 7 days, complete healing takes several weeks or months.

Restrictions after surgery

• Eye injury.
• You cannot visit the baths.
• Alcohol is prohibited.
• Tan.
• Hormonal drugs.
• Taking vitamins.
• Pregnancy.
• Spicy or salty foods, limit coffee, highly carbonated drinks.
• Physical activity.

How is laser vision correction performed?

There are several laser correction techniques. Below we will look at the most popular ones and analyze the advantages of each of them.

The LASIK system was invented after PRK and is more reliable and safe. Produced experienced specialist, this procedure can correct myopia up to 15 diopters, and reduces the rehabilitation period to just a few days.

Produced on the basis of very accurate computer calculations. This operation also preserves the anatomy of the layers of the cornea.

The first step is to separate the corneal layer into a flap using a surgical instrument called a microkeratome. It provides access to the middle layers of tissue in just 2-5 seconds, and painlessly. After this, using a laser, the layer of the cornea is transferred to the desired depth and then returned to its place. Literally a couple of hours after the procedure, you can safely return to your normal lifestyle.

• Very fast. The duration of the entire process is 10-15 minutes.
• This operation does not require hospitalization.
• Short recovery period.
• Full control over the process, guaranteeing safety.

Super LASIK - high standards of ophthalmology. This method consists of precise “grinding” of the cornea by analyzing its surface, which the Keratron system is capable of. Using this technology, all irregularities of the cornea can be eliminated. Using a computer, the data is transferred to the laser. The beam selectively corrects uneven areas of the cornea. All distortions are eliminated and the quality of vision improves.

• Correction accuracy.
• Increase in vision more than 90%.
• Safety.
• Postoperative period.
• You may experience some discomfort for some time after surgery. Later, all sensations will pass without a trace. There are no restrictions on visual loads like after LASIK.
• It is better to come to the operation with a person who will accompany you home afterwards.

Femto LASIK – performed on the WaveLight FS200 femto laser. The beam is very careful with the corneal tissue, providing a perfect flap. Guarantees a quick rehabilitation process, without pain and discomfort.

• Excellent laser precision allows you to make a perfectly precise flap.
• Possibility of surgery for a patient with a thin cornea.
• Small risk of forming an incorrect flap.
• Fast flap formation – 6 seconds. Thanks to this, the eye tissue is less damaged.

Myths of laser correction

You can often hear that the retina is burned during correction. Of course this is not true. Such myths appear due to misconceptions about the operation.

If this were true, then during the first operation the patient would lose his vision. Therefore, only the cornea of ​​the eye is included in the operation. Most likely, Lasik and PRK are confused with laser coagulation of the retina; it is often performed before laser correction. But this is an optional procedure. Retinal damage can occur without surgery, if you have the prerequisites for this.

Also read: And why?

Many people say that the ophthalmologists who perform these operations wear glasses themselves. Are they hiding something? In fact, there are no secrets in correction. Do not forget that this surgical intervention, like other operations, does not provide a 100% guarantee of a good result. Everyone who goes under a knife or laser must understand the risk.

Consequences of laser vision correction

Many people are afraid of bad consequences after laser vision correction. Yes, there may be consequences, but their percentage is so small that with the right approach, it does not exceed 0.05%. Deterioration of vision after surgery may be due to the following reasons:

• Incomplete correction. The patient was left with 0.5 – 0.7 diopters of myopia, astigmatism or farsightedness. In this case, additional correction is carried out, but not less than after 3 months. Such cases are very rare, and do not exceed 1 eye in 200 operations, but they happen even less frequently.
• Light cloudiness. Also a rare occurrence. Quick identification of problems in the patient helps to almost completely eliminate these problems. Complications can also occur if there are deviations in the operation itself.

What women are willing to do to get rid of unwanted body hair, achieving the feeling of impeccably smooth and soft skin. For the time being, they were little concerned about this moment. But soon everyone recognized its aesthetics. Razors, cream and wax have been replaced by laser hair removal.

Today it is available to everyone. It is used not only by women, but also by men. It affects the melanin pigment, destroying the hair follicle and slowing down hair growth. This allows you to forget about unwanted hairs on your face, arms, legs and other parts of the body for a long time in just a few sessions.

We will understand all the details of laser hair removal: its harms and benefits, indications, contraindications, affected areas, results, how many procedures are needed to achieve the optimal effect and whether there can be negative health consequences from the sessions.

History of the discovery of the method

People started talking about the first laser hair removal devices in the 1990s, although this method was first discovered back in the 1970s during physics research.

The scientist accidentally put his hand under the laser light and noticed how the hairs disappeared in this area.

There was no damage to the hand, so the physicist quickly forgot about the incident, not attaching any significance to what happened.

After some time, the scientist again noticed that that same area on the skin was different - there was no hair on it at all.

He repeated the experiment again. This is how laser hair removal appeared in cosmetology.

During hair removal, laser energy hits the hair roots, heating and destroying the hair follicle. After some time, the hair weakens and falls out.

But the effect of the laser does not apply to all follicles. Some of them are inactive or dormant and remain invisible. That's why you need to repeat the procedure after some time.

Laser hair removal is effective for hair removal in intimate places(in the region/zone deep bikini, on the chest), on the neck, arms, legs, buttocks, in the armpits, on the face (antennae above upper lip, on the chin, eyebrow correction), stomach and back.

With the help of laser hair removal, cosmetologists remove not only unwanted hair on the body.

Using a special device you can get rid of age spots , capillary dilations, spider veins.

Prices for laser hair removal range from 500 rubles for removal above the upper lip, to several thousand for complete hair removal from both legs.

How it happens

The procedure looks like this. The cosmetologist hands you protective glasses and puts on the glasses himself.

Having prepared the skin for the procedure, he directs the laser beam with a special attachment. To avoid overheating the skin, affects it with short breaks.

The beam affects melanin, discoloring the pigment. It also absorbs the energy of the laser beam. She, in turn, reaches the bulb and destroys it.

If the laser is applied to a large area of ​​skin, the entire procedure takes from several minutes to half an hour.

Women remove hair from their legs and shape their eyebrows. Hair removal has already become commonplace during the holidays.

The beach season involves the use of swimsuits, which means it's time to remove hair in the bikini area.

Not only women, but also men turn to cosmetologists. Hair is removed from the back, shoulders, chest and buttocks.

Results, number of sessions

How many laser hair removal sessions are needed? Usually the procedure must be repeated four to six times, sometimes it is necessary to undergo 8-10 procedures.
