Laser hair removal: between simplicity and effectiveness!
Simple and radical, laser hair removal allows you to put an end to your unsightly hair. Laser hair removal works on the hair system to prevent regrowth. It destroys the hair follicle via its melanin (pigment). The hair will then be eradicated, and the treated germinal area will be sterilised.
Why choose laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is aimed at certain types of hair and skin. It is essential to schedule a preliminary appointment with a 'laserist' doctor before commencing any treatment on your hair. Since the technique for eradicating the hair involves targeting the melanin within it, your hair system must be visible. Ideally, you should not be tanned and should not have applied self-tanner so that the colour of your skin is clearly distinguishable from that of your hair. Otherwise, there may be risks of burns.
Light-coloured, blonde, or white hair cannot undergo laser treatment. It is advisable for laser hair removal to extend over a year to ensure all hair is eradicated. In fact, hair typically has a lifespan of approximately four months. During the first session, some hairs may be 'asleep' and not treated. Sessions every 6 to 8 weeks will help tackle the hair cycle.
Why choose electric hair removal?
As for electric hair removal, it is undoubtedly one of the most effective methods for permanently eliminating hair. The aesthetic doctor will send a low-voltage electric charge to the hair follicle to prevent regrowth. The natural physical reaction called electrolysis will lead to the definitive destruction of the hair. The advantage of this technique is that it will be suitable for all hairs that cannot be treated with laser.
It may be painful but is nevertheless very reliable. This technique can only be performed during the anagen phase (the hair growth phase). It is possible to have a long session under local anaesthesia to treat the entire area to be waxed. You will need to wait one month before repeating the procedure. Sometimes, this interval can be reduced to 15 days.
If your hair causes you distress, do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with a professional to consider a permanent hair removal solution that will make your life easier!
