Laser epilation

The laser epilation is allowed to get rid of growth of hair in undesirable places quickly and without serious consequences. Popularity of this procedure grows more and more because according to reviews the laser epilation is much more effective than other ways of fight against the undesirable growth of hair.

By means of the laser it is possible to depilate any hardly accessible and sensitive body part. After a laser epilation hair do not grow during a long period.

The procedure of a laser epilation at fungal and herpetic infections of skin is not recommended, in case of a malignant origin of new growths, at acute infections or exacerbations of chronic diseases. A gray and white hair is insensitive to laser radiation.

Principle of action of a laser epilation

Under the influence of the laser of hair instantly and strongly heats up as the thermal wave absorbs the painting pigment (melanin) in it. Because of it the hair at first becomes thinner, and after repeated influences by the laser the hair bulb dies off, and the hair drops out.

Full dying off of a hair bulb requires not less than 4 - 5 procedures of a laser epilation that varies depending on specific features of growth of hair. For one session it is impossible to achieve it because of features of a vital phase of a hair as hair grow unevenly and with various intensity. Laser radiation as much as possible influences a hair in a phase of active growth therefore its influence usually uneven. The interval between sessions of a laser epilation usually makes 3 – 4 weeks.

The laser beam is fixed on dark hair, and light skin for it is not a barrier. For this reason the laser epilation is according to reviews inefficient at dark and swarty skin, and also on a fair and gray hair.

Before and after a laser epilation

Special preparation for a laser epilation according to specialists is not required. Before holding this procedure it is not recommended to sunbathe or apply autosuntan – it will reduce its efficiency.

Before a session of a laser epilation on a face it is possible to shave or to shortly cut hair, it is desirable that their length was no more than 1 - 3 mm. The laser epilation is not applied to removal of eyebrows.

After a laser epilation within a week it is not recommended to sunbathe not to provoke emergence of a hyperpegmentation. Going outside under direct beams of the sun, it is necessary to put skin sunblock cream. Cosmetologists do not advise during this period to use also abrasive cosmetology conditioning agents behind skin, such as peeling or srub.

After a laser epilation on the site of skin which was affected small reddening as result of a trichangiectasia of skin can appear. During the day reddening usually takes place independently.

The chlorinated water at contact with skin in the place of the carried-out laser epilation can cause burning sensation in the first 2 days after the procedure. In case of a laser epilation of bikini or axillary hollows for the purpose of hygiene several days after the procedure recommend to use soap with antibacterial effect.

Between procedures of a laser epilation it is not recommended to apply other ways of removal of hair on this body part (wax, tweezers) as they do not influence a hair follicle.

Laser epilation of the person

Persons carry out a laser epilation both to men, and women. The problem zones demanding removal of undesirable hair are both at those, and at others – most often it is area of a chin, over an upper lip, a partition and wings of a nose. And if for men shaving can become an alternative of a laser epilation of the person, then it is almost unacceptable for women.

The separate problem of excess pilosis (hirsutism) faces women with hormonal disturbances, in particular, at a giperandrogeniya (excess education in an organism of male sex hormone of testosterone). Except a characteristic constitution of such women distinguishes the excess growth of hair over an upper lip.

For the procedure of carrying out a laser epilation it is important that on a face there was a minimum quantity of a nevus pigmentosus or birthmarks as it can not only reduce efficiency of an epilation, but also change the nature of growth of birthmarks.

By means of a portable epilator the laser epilation of bikini can be executed also in house conditions. After the procedure of an epilation for cooling and abirritation it is possible to apply special gel on skin.
