People who do not want to constantly check whether the hair has grown back again, should bet on laser hair removal. Many questions have been raised about the procedure and among them is the question of its safety.
Laser hair removal – how does it work?
Laser hair removal is a procedure in which a special laser is used, which destroys the melanin in the hair follicle. As a result, the laser attacks the hair bulb, weakening it and preventing hair regrowth.
Laser hair removal allows to remove unwanted hair from almost every part of the body. From the back, thighs, armpits, hands. The treatment is effective in case of moustache removal or hair removal from bikini area. The only place where laser hair removal cannot be used is the male genitalia.
Salon J’adore specialist in laser hair removal, recommends a consultation before the first treatment to help determine the laser power and frequency of visits. The cosmetologist will assess the condition of the skin, as well as the hair. If the specialist finds that the client/client does not have a fresh tan, the skin is not irritated and dry, and there is no skin irritation due to trauma, you will be able to proceed with the treatment.
Is laser hair removal safe?
Laser hair removal is one of the safest methods of hair removal. Unlike waxing or shaving, laser hair removal does not cause irritation.
For the laser hair removal treatment to be safe, it is important to prepare the skin properly. First of all, a month before the treatment we should not sunbathe. It is impossible to use bronzing cosmetics or self-tanners. It is also not allowed to depilate the skin and pull out hair.
A week before the procedure, if possible, we should stop using products that increase skin sensitivity to the sun. It is also worth moisturizing the skin so that it is not too dry.
The day before the treatment or on the day of its performance we carefully shave the part of the skin, which is to be treated.
To make laser hair removal safe, you should also take care of your skin after the treatment. First of all, immediately after leaving the beauty salon do not use alcohol-based cosmetics. In order not to irritate the skin, which may be sensitive to the effects of preparations after the treatment. Salon J’adore specialist in laser hair removal, warns that for two weeks after the treatment the skin should not be exposed to strong sunlight. The treatment should be repeated every 4 to 8 weeks.
Many people wonder whether laser hair removal is safe and painless. All specialists emphasize that it is a completely safe procedure.
