Notes on laser hair removal treatment
How to choose between different hair removal methods?
Laser is suitable for people with severe and coarse body hair who want to remove hair quickly and are not afraid of pain;
Freezing point is suitable for people who are sensitive to pain;
Photon combines skin rejuvenation and hair removal, suitable for delicate and sensitive parts or hair removal with less severe body hair.
What is the difference between laser, freezing point and IPL?
All three are essentially laser projects, but the focus of treatment is different.
Laser hair removal uses monochromatic and directional light, which can accurately reach the root of the hair follicles, directly act on melanin, and inhibit hair growth.
Freezing point hair removal
Freezing point hair removal is actually a cooling system added to the hair removal equipment, which will not cause thermal damage and overheating reaction, and is more comfortable.
Photon hair removal uses a strong pulse light source (broad spectrum technology), which has a wide range and has a certain effect of shrinking pores. However, the energy is not as concentrated as laser, only part of the light energy reaches the hair follicles, and part will be absorbed by the skin
How many times of hair removal is effective?
The number of hair removal treatments depends on the type of hair, part, personal hormone level, treatment interval and other factors. Generally, more than 6 times are required.
Regular follow-up treatments can help improve the effect of hair removal.
If you are pregnant again, have polycystic ovary syndrome, take steroid hormones for a long time, have adrenal-related diseases, etc., which cause endocrine fluctuations in the body, the effect of hair removal treatment will be relatively poor. Please have reasonable expectations.
Interval:
Generally, the interval for face and bikini area is 1.5 months, and the interval for other parts is 2 months.
Postoperative care:
Immediately after surgery, a routine 20-30 minutes of cold compress is required.
During treatment, skin moisturizing should be strengthened, sun protection should be strictly enforced, and sunscreen is recommended.
If there is sun exposure, local skin is dark and grinding and peeling treatment are performed at the same time, erythema, edema, and small blisters are more likely to occur locally after surgery. This phenomenon generally disappears within 48-72 hours, and a few people may have pigment abnormalities.
Treatment results:
1% of patients achieved permanent hair removal; the diameter of the regenerated hair gradually became thinner, the color gradually became lighter, and the growth rate slowed down. The treatment was terminated when only fine sweat hair appeared in the hair removal area.
What does body hair look like after several hair removals?
In the same period of time, a certain percentage of hair follicles in each part will be in the growth phase, such as 80-85% for hair, 30% for armpits and bikini, and 20% for limbs.
Therefore, the number of hair follicles growing hair will decrease with the number of hair removals, the growth rate will slow down, and the hair will become thinner and thinner.
Are the frequency of hair removal the same for different parts?
In general, laser hair removal requires an interval of about 4 to 8 weeks between each course of treatment. The next laser hair removal treatment can only be performed after new hair grows out.
Hair removal effects in different parts: armpits > bikini line > limbs > hairline > beard > lips.
The following is the general frequency of hair removal for each part, but due to individual differences and different requirements for hair removal effects, the beauty seeker can increase or decrease the number of hair removal according to the actual situation.
