Laser epilation of hands
All classic methods of dealing with unwanted hair on the arms and underarms injure the skin and are often accompanied by the problem of ingrowth, inflammation and painful purulent rashes. Laser hair removal, on the other hand, does not damage the skin, promotes the healing of all microtraumas and makes it possible to say goodbye to this delicate nuisance for a long time.
If you experience symptoms of an illness, please consult a doctor.
Is this method of removing hair on the hands suitable for everyone?
Unfortunately, light hairs cannot be removed in this way. In addition, laser hand hair removal is contraindicated if you have:
- diabetes;
- skin diseases of connective tissue, viral and infectious;
- oncology;
- ARVI and ARVI;
- exacerbation of chronic diseases;
- fresh tan;
- if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How does laser hand hair removal work?
It's simple - laser light is absorbed by the hair pigment melanin and passes unhindered along the grown hair shaft to the follicle, where the hair bulb is destroyed with the help of concentrated laser heat. It is worth noting that thermal radiation acts only on follicles in the phase of active growth, which is why the epilation course is so long in time.
As a rule, after laser epilation on the arms or armpits, the hair does not disappear instantly. Hair "burns", becomes dry, curls and can stay in this state for up to 10-14 days, gradually falling out. Usually, laser hair removal is performed in the autumn and winter period. This is due to the fact that an excess of ultraviolet can provoke the appearance of pigment spots on the skin. In any case, the doctors of the "LeoDerm" clinic recommend using sunscreen for the next 2 weeks after the procedure
Will it hurt during laser epilation under the armpits?
Thanks to modern equipment, you will not feel pain during epilation of armpits, hands or any other part of the body. Usually, a slight tingling and heartburn is felt. A special cooling system ensures painlessness and comfort. If desired, local anesthesia can be used, but this is more likely done for psychological reasons, especially for those with a low pain threshold.
How many sessions are needed for complete hair removal?
The required time is always individual. For laser epilation under the armpits, 4-5 sessions are enough, for the treatment of the hands, about 6 are needed. But already after the first procedure, the growing hairs will be softer and lighter and much less noticeable.
How should I prepare?
For hand epilation, it is enough to stop using alcohol-containing cosmetics a few days before the procedure. Shave the required area 12 hours before the visit to the clinic. Do not use deodorant on the day of the first visit.
Precautions before and after the procedure
It is forbidden to sunbathe and pull out hairs before and after the procedure. Most of them will fall off during the first 7-10 days. Repeated procedures are appointed after several weeks. Usually, complete hair removal occurs after 5-7 sessions. After the session, it is forbidden to visit public pools, baths, or take a bath for several days. These measures are necessary to prevent the risk of developing infectious complications.
