Epilation with alexandrite laser

Epilation with alexandrite laser is considered the best way to remove hair. It has long been used in the field of cosmetology, because it has repeatedly proved safety in use and a guaranteed result. This method will be indispensable for owners of dark hair on the body, as well as for those who are used to feel constant self-confidence.

Before talking about the features of the alexandrite laser, you need to learn to distinguish between such things as hair removal and hair removal. In the first case, the hair follicles are destroyed or the vegetation is removed along with the root, and the second hair removal option provides only a superficial elimination of unwanted hairs. Depilation does not affect further hair growth, so after a couple of days the hairs reappear on the body.

This device has a high speed, and due to the long wave it allows you to set the parameters, which are located in the range of 700-820 Nm. This factor has a special significance, because with it doctors can adjust individually for each client.

Such a device is recommended to treat only dark hairs, because he does not see vegetation with weak pigmentation. It is not recommended to use this method of hair removal for women who regularly attend a tanning salon. The laser can not recognize the vegetation on the tanned skin and begins to attack the brown epithelium cells.

When it comes to new technology, many people wonder if this technology is dangerous. Those customers who decided to remove hair with this equipment can not worry. This type of laser has been used in the field of beauty for a long time and, according to the monitoring carried out, is not accompanied by adverse side effects.

The advantages include the following:

• if we talk about comfort, then if you follow all the recommendations, such hair removal will not be accompanied by painful sensations. For the procedure to be comfortable, you must have the necessary skin type, vegetation. You will also need to competently prepare for the event;
• If the procedure is not performed by an old device, you can not be afraid. Trade marks, which produce alexandrite laser, offer their audience only high quality products. The Candela laser system is among the most popular equipment;
• Laser equipment of the latest releases is equipped with electronic components that allow you to make precise settings for each client. In this technique, there is a cooling system of the skin, which relieves pain;
• Lasers have high efficiency as well as a sufficient spot diameter to deal with a lot of vegetation in a short time. In one flash, several follicles are processed at once, which reduces the period of unpleasant sensations to a couple of seconds;
• the procedure lasts from a couple of minutes to one hour based on the area of ​​the area being adjusted;
• alexandrite epilation can be used for any part of the body, except for the area of ​​eyes and ears;
• cosmetologists have reported that this type of hair removal is characterized by a very interesting side effect: rejuvenation. The laser tightens the skin, eliminates pigmentation and other pigments;
• duration of effect refers to the main advantage. After a course of hair removal, you will notice that the vegetation has disappeared for several years or forever.

The disadvantages of this procedure include:

• session duration No laser can eliminate vegetation that is in the growth stage or in sleep mode. For this reason, when new hair appears on the skin, you should again resort to the procedure. However, this does not guarantee that all follicles will be destroyed;
• the result does not reach 100%. This suggests that hair that is located in the treatment area cannot be completely removed. Some hairs will remain on the body. However, the percentage of "surviving" hairs after working with alexandrite laser is the lowest;
• Many people who decide to use this procedure note that smooth skin does not make them happy for so long. Within a few months, vegetation begins to grow again, but to a lesser extent. Such cases are often found in practice. This is due to the fact that follicles are able to recover;
• The cost of the procedure is among the shortcomings. Every woman who applies to a beauty salon knows that the full course of laser hair removal is accompanied by an impressive price tag. However, if you add up the cost of depilation, which you have been expecting for several years and compare them with the price of 8-10 epilation procedures, you will be able to see the benefits;

• It is believed that this procedure has an overestimated cost, when compared with other types of laser equipment, even if we talk about a diode laser. This is due to the fact that the cost of a single outbreak of alexandrite cost a lot, because the device itself and its maintenance is not cheap. But due to the fact that the removal of vegetation with the help of this device is 20-30% more efficient, a smaller number and duration of sessions is required. As a rule, when alexandrite hair removal is enough to carry out 3-8 procedures. The break between sessions is 4-8 weeks. The final price of the course will be comparable to other types of laser systems;
• such equipment does not differ universality. This method is suitable not for everyone, but only for that category of clients who possess certain features of appearance. But if this type of laser suits you directly, you should not look for other options;
• As in other types of laser epilations, alexandrite can cause abrasions, scars, pigment spots, and an allergic reaction. Such troubles can manifest themselves in the event that you are not properly prepared for the procedure or because of the individual characteristics of the patient.

Any type of hair removal is shown to people who suffer from excess vegetation on the body. As a rule, this fact is associated with genetics. Usually, women of the Caucasian nation, Chechen women and Armenians face this problem. In some nations, the fluff over the upper lip is considered normal, but modern society requires smoothness from the female body, regardless of nationality.

Another reason for the manifestation of excess hair in certain areas of the body may be associated with hormonal disturbances. If you suspect that this fact is related to this kind of violation, contact an endocrinologist to help you eliminate the source of the problem. Solving issues related to hormonal background, helps to prevent further appearance of excess vegetation on the wrong areas of the skin.

Among the indications for the procedure listed:

• increased growth of vegetation on a visible part of the body due to a hormonal failure;
• inflammatory process after depilation;
• the desire to abandon permanent depilation procedures, eliminating excess vegetation forever;
• the formation of ingrown hairs, as well as irritation after shaving.

There are also contraindications:

• poor blood clotting rates;
• lactation period;
• the period of carrying a child, as well as 2-3 months before when you are planning pregnancy;
• epilation cannot be combined with hormone therapy;
• the presence of diabetes;
• diseases of the skin of any nature, as well as numerous birthmarks, birthmarks;
• if there are problems with the circulatory system.

The process of removing excess vegetation using an alexandrite laser is similar to classic epilation. The procedure itself consists of three parts:

• preparatory process. In order for the operation to take place qualitatively, it is necessary to wait for the moment when the length of hairs will reach 3-5 mm. This suggests that you should not shave for 5-7 days;
• depilation. To carry out hair removal, you do not need to resort to auxiliary anesthesia with the help of pricks or creams. Special equipment locally affects the hair roots, preventing the skin from heating around the area being treated. Not only women can resort to the procedure, but also men with any type of epithelium and hair. However, the greatest effectiveness can be achieved only by those who have such skin type as Celtic, Nordic, dark or European;
• logout After 40-45 minutes the process of hair removal is considered complete. The specialist treats the skin with gels with a cooling effect that can soothe the skin. Such a tool is able to eliminate the occurrence of burns and age spots.

After epilation, you should observe some activities. A beautician who will perform this procedure will advise you to use a special cream after hair removal. They should be used for two or three days. It is best to apply the tool until the inflammation disappears completely.

What is prohibited:

• for two weeks is not allowed to visit the solarium and beaches;
• during the course of laser hair removal can not be resorted to shugaring or waxing. You can use only a razor or depilatory cream;
• before the procedure, refrain from visiting the pool, bath, solarium and the beach;
• use sunscreen for a couple of months after the last session of laser hair removal.

Most reviews of laser hair removal are positive. Those to whom this procedure did not help report that they ignored the recommendations of their cosmetologist and decided to use the alexandrite laser on the hairs with light pigmentation. For such purposes, more suitable neodymium laser.

Girls who decide to use this type of hair removal, share their impressions, saying that the hair falls out after the procedure immediately and does not grow back for a long time. You can forget about things like shaving razors or depilatory creams that help to get rid of hair for only a couple of days. The laser removes hair for a long time, thereby allowing you to feel self-confidence.

Many report that for a long time they were glad that the hair did not appear. Their appearance was noticeable during pregnancy, which contributed to a change in hormonal levels.This has nothing to do with the effectiveness of the laser, because hormonal alterations cause significant changes in the body.

In some comments there are references to the high cost of the procedures, but they are fully compensated for by the duration of the epilation, saving on the razor, as well as a sense of self-confidence. You can forget about stubble and visit the beach any day, as well as wear short skirts, without thinking about the stubble already growing on your legs and there is no time for depilation.
