Electric hair removal or laser hair removal: which one to choose?
Laser Hair Removal: A Blend of Simplicity and Effectiveness!
Simple and radical, laser hair removal allows you to put an end to unsightly hair. This method acts on the hair follicle to prevent regrowth. It destroys the hair bulb through its melanin (pigment). The hair will then be eradicated, and the treated germinative zone will be sterilised.
Why Choose Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is suitable for specific types of hair and skin. It is essential to have a preliminary appointment with a 'laserist' before commencing any hair treatment. Since the hair eradication technique targets the melanin contained within the hair, it is necessary for your hair follicles to be visible. Ideally, you should not be tanned and should not have applied self-tanner, so that your skin tone is distinctly different from the colour of your hair. Otherwise, there may be risks of burns.
Light, blonde, or white hair cannot be treated with laser methods. It is advisable for laser hair removal to be spread over a year to ensure the eradication of all hair. Indeed, hair has an average lifespan of four months. During the first session, some hairs may be 'asleep' and left untreated. Sessions every 6 to 8 weeks will help to overcome the hair cycle.
Why Choose Electrolysis?
As for electrolysis, it is undoubtedly one of the most effective methods for permanently eliminating hair. The aesthetic medical professional will send a small low-voltage electric charge into the hair bulb to prevent regrowth. The natural physical reaction called electrolysis will lead to the permanent destruction of the hair. The advantage of this technique is that it is suitable for all types of hair that cannot be treated with laser.
It may be painful but is, however, 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 process. Sometimes, the interval may be reduced to 15 days.
If your hair is a source of insecurity, do not hesitate to make an appointment with a professional to consider permanent hair removal that will make your life easier!
