1. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LASER EPILATION AND PHOTOEPILATION OR OTHER TYPES OF EPILATION?
Today, in the field of aesthetic medicine, there are four main instrumental methods of hair removal: electroepilation, photoepilation, elos-epilation and laser hair removal.
ELECTROEPILATION is the oldest method of hair removal. Painful point-exposure (using a thin needle) to electric current under each individual hair by puncturing the skin.
Disadvantages of the method:
Very traumatic - after a course of procedures, as a rule, bluish or pigmented spots remain on the skin.
Ineffective - when puncturing the skin, the specialist is not always able to act directly on the hair follicle.
High risk of ingrown hairs, especially after the first procedures.
The duration of the procedure, for example, on the legs can reach 3 hours.
PHOTOEPILATION — exposure to high-intensity pulsed light (IPL).
The procedure is effective, especially if performed on a professional device, and not on a replica. BUT! There are also many disadvantages:
Very painful.
It is necessary to apply a contact gel, and then remove it from the skin
The procedure time is greatly extended and very uncomfortable, especially when epilating a total bikini area.
The procedure is contraindicated in the summer - high risk of pigmentation of the epilated areas, and is performed only on light, untanned skin - otherwise there is a high risk of burns.
ELOS EPILATION — a procedure that was widely advertised at one time (in our opinion, not very justified). The effect on the hair follicle occurs with a combination of energies - pulsed light (IPL) and radio frequency energy. Compared to photo and laser hair removal, it is less effective + all the disadvantages of photo hair removal.
DIODE LASER EPILATION — and particularly the MediLase Pro diode laser — is already a modern world hair removal technology.
The procedures for removing unwanted hair, performed on the Medialase Pro diode, are devoid of all the above disadvantages.
Technical characteristics of a professional powerful diode laser MediLase Pro, namely:
maximum head power of 2000 W
huge device power of 5200 W
4 laser beams 755 Nm, 808 Nm, 940 nm, 1064 nm
strong head cooling to -16 ° C
20 emitters in the head
very short pulse time
allows the device to operate in the infrared range of waves and not affect the skin surface at all, but only selectively affect the hair follicle.
Today, neither alexandrite, nor ruby, nor any other laser has such characteristics.
Therefore, the procedure of PROFESSIONAL diode laser hair removal is absolutely safe, fast, practically/relatively painless, is performed on any (even very dark) skin and at any time of the year, without applying any gels to the skin and, most importantly, is VERY EFFECTIVE!
2. WHY DOES LASER EPILATION NOT HELP SOME PATIENTS?
The answer to this question is very simple and UNAMBIGUOUS: because of the use of very low-quality equipment.
Laser hair removal on a PROFESSIONAL laser helps everyone!
It's just that on the wave of growing popularity of laser hair removal, offices and many individuals are filled with replica lasers from a number of countries. The procedures on them are very cheap, since the devices themselves are inexpensive and their technical capabilities are extremely limited, so hair removal sessions using such devices are absolutely ineffective and sometimes unsafe for health.
The professional MediLase Pro device, like the one in our salon, is manufactured by one of the leading concerns of the laser industry in Europe, has a lot of patented modern technologies, and is certified according to the regulations of the European Union.
In addition, laser hair removal on a diode laser is recognized as a modern world "gold" standard for removing unwanted hair.
Therefore, a priori, the diode laser hair removal method is always effective if the procedures are performed on PROFESSIONAL equipment by QUALIFIED specialists.
TIP: when choosing a laser hair removal clinic/salon in Rijeka on the Internet and based on reviews, do not be tempted by the very low cost of services and the photos shown.
Pay attention to what laser devices and which manufacturer are used in the clinic.
Do not chase very low prices for procedures - you will lose both money and time.
The main selection criterion is professional equipment and competent licensed specialists!
3. HOW IS THE LASER EPILATION PROCEDURE CARRIED OUT?
At the first appointment, the specialist conducts a preliminary consultation with you, examines you and tells you about the procedure itself, how the laser affects the hair and what results to expect, excludes the presence of contraindications to the procedure. Then the actual hair removal is carried out, which takes 10-45 minutes, depending on the selected area.
4. DO YOU HAVE TO GROW YOUR HAIR FOR THE LASER? HOW TO PREPARE FOR LASER EPILATION?
The laser hair removal procedure on a diode laser does not require any special preparation. It is recommended to shave the hair in the epilated area the day before the procedure. This is necessary to reduce the loss of laser beam energy and minimize pain. The permissible hair length is 2 mm.
AND WHAT IS VERY IMPORTANT is not to injure the hair follicle, which means not to use wax, sugaring and other methods of hair plucking three weeks before the start of laser hair removal procedures.
Such procedures that injure the hair follicle will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the laser. It is only in this aspect that we can talk about "growing hair" - before the start of laser use. During this period, they can be safely shaved.
And between sessions, if it is not possible to come to the next procedure, it is best to shave the growing hair. It is also recommended not to sunbathe for 4-7 days before the procedure.
5. HOW LONG DOES ONE HAIR REMOVAL SESSION LAST ON AVERAGE?
Medilase Pro is the latest diode laser with four wavelengths of 755 nm, 808 nm, 940 nm and 1064 nm. Using different wavelengths allows us to expand the spectrum of treatment. The procedures performed with the Medilase Pro diode laser are convenient, fast and painless.
The modern head cooling system allows for cooling the treated areas to the optimal temperature in a short time after each direction of the laser energy beam. A big advantage of the diode laser is its versatility due to the use of four ranges.
When working on the body, using a large manipulator, the laser hair removal procedure for both legs from the hip to the ankle takes no more than 30 minutes.
6. IS IT POSSIBLE TO REMOVE HAIR PERMANENTLY IN ONE SESSION OF LASER EPILATION?
No. It is not possible. And this is not due to the quality of the laser device, but to human physiology. And here's why. Each individual hair on the face or body has three development (growth) cycles.
Only those hairs that are in the active growth phase (anagen) are susceptible to the energy of any, even the most modern, laser.
It is at this stage that the pigment melanin is formed in them, which is selectively affected by the laser. That is why laser hair removal will be effective only in this phase of hair life.
Every day, only 15-20% of all hairs on the skin surface are in the growth phase, have a pronounced pigment and are subject to laser hair removal. At the same time, on the face and body, there are hairs in the intermediate stage (catagen) and resting (telogen) - they are not sensitive to any laser energy. Replacing each other, the hairs "awaken" over time, each in its own cycle.
Therefore, at the time of the laser hair removal procedure, on average no more than 15-20% of the hair follicles are removed, and to remove all the hair in the affected area, a COURSE OF SEVERAL SESSIONS is required - in order to "catch" all the hair in the epilated area in the anagen stage. How many and how often laser hair removal sessions will need to be carried out is determined individually.
7. IS LASER EPILATION PAINFUL?
The procedure on our device is completely painless.
The MediLase Pro diode laser combines the following advantages:
patented contact cooling system;
he ability to fine-tune the device parameters using a special sensor individually for each client, depending on the hair structure and skin characteristics.
anesthetic cream can be used for highly sensitive skin.
We successfully remove unwanted hair from such delicate and sensitive areas as, for example, the upper lip in women, the stubble line in men, the armpit area, the bikini area and the intergluteal area.
What is the advantage of 4 Beams?
laser beams of 808 nm, 755 nm, 940 nm and 1064 nm allow you to effectively damage both dark and light hair. Thanks to the use of four beams, it is possible to carry out effective procedures even for people with darker skin:
755 nm beam is designed for shallow-set light and fine hair.
808 nm beam is designed for deep-set dark and thick hair.
940 nm beam is designed for shallow-set dark and light hair in people with phototype IV.
1064 nm beam is designed for shallow-set dark hair.
8. WHAT MARKS CAN REMAIN ON THE SKIN AFTER THE DIODE LASER EPILATION PROCEDURE?
After exposure to the powerful PALOMAR Vectus diode, THERE ARE NO AND CANNOT BE ANY MARKS ON THE SKIN.
The laser operates in the infrared wavelength range, which means that the beam energy, without affecting the skin surface at all, selectively affects only the hair bulb (follicle), located deep enough in the dermis.
In addition, the patented contact cooling protects the tissues surrounding the hair follicle from heating. Thanks to such technical characteristics of the device, there are no marks, redness, and especially no burns on the skin after the procedure at all.
9. WHEN ARE THE RESULTS OF LASER EPILATION VISIBLE?
The result of laser hair removal is noticeable after the first procedure. During the first 7-10 days, the so-called "false growth" of hair is observed: hairs whose follicles have been destroyed are pushed out by the skin, as if they are growing.
After ten days, these hairs will completely rise to the surface of the skin and fall out. You will notice that the hair in the treated area has thinned out. Fine hair disappears faster, coarse and dark hair becomes softer and lighter.
10. DOES LASER HAIR REMOVAL ALLOW YOU TO GET RID OF HAIR FOREVER?
The human body has a powerful ability to regenerate, and the word “forever” is not applicable to any type of hair removal at the current stage of technical development anywhere in the world. Hair follicles have one interesting property - they can “come to life”.
Clinical practice shows that the effect of a full course of laser hair removal lasts for a very long time - from 2 to 8 years, but after this time, some hair follicles can “wake up”, and the hair, accordingly, begins to grow. This problem is successfully solved by conducting 2-3 laser hair removal sessions per year in areas with awakened hair follicles.
In many ways, such an “awakening” depends on the person’s health and lifestyle, individual characteristics of hair growth and, to a large extent, on changes in hormonal levels.
11. IS DEEP BIKINI HAIR REMOVAL POSSIBLE WITH A DIODE LASER?
Intimate area hair removal is one of the most popular procedures. Laser hair removal is the safest and fastest method for removing unwanted hair in the bikini area. Even total hair removal - complete hair removal in the bikini area, perineum and between the buttocks - will be comfortable for you, and the results will be noticeable after the first session.
The MediLase Pro diode laser does not leave irritation or burns on the delicate skin of the intimate areas and will solve the problem of ingrown hairs.
The bikini hair removal procedure takes less than 30 minutes.
After completing the course of procedures, it becomes possible to get rid of unwanted hair for a long time.
12. CAN INGROWN HAIRS APPEAR AFTER LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
ON THE CONTRARY! Laser hair removal is perhaps one of the most suitable hair removal methods for SOLVING THE PROBLEM OF INGROWN HAIRS.
This is especially true for women in the bikini area and for men on the face (especially after constant shaving). After the first laser hair removal session, the hair becomes thinner, softer and is almost not prone to ingrown hairs, and after the second session, the problem of ingrown hairs will be solved forever.
Moreover, even “stagnant” dark spots from old ingrown hairs will disappear forever.
13. HOW MANY DAYS BEFORE VACATION IS IT BETTER TO DO LASER EPILATION? CAN YOU SUNBATH AFTER IT?
Laser hair removal on a diode laser is a procedure that does not affect the surface of the skin, so it is carried out in any season, even in summer. We recommend protecting the skin from the sun for 3-4 days after hair removal, so that the action of the sun's rays does not “reanimate” the hair follicle damaged by the laser. Then you can sunbathe.
And please remember about the need for sunscreen - we recommend using it regardless of whether you have had hair removal or not! After all, direct sunlight stimulates hair growth!
14. IS THIS TYPE OF EPILATION SUITABLE FOR MEN? WHICH AREAS OF THE BODY CAN MEN HAIR REMOVE?
Hair removal for men has been in great demand in recent years. And laser hair removal with a diode laser is the best choice for men. Especially if men often face the problem of increased hair growth on the back, shoulders, in the intergluteal region, as well as increased sweating in the armpits.
The method is also suitable for correcting facial hair, especially if there is frequent irritation after shaving.
15. WHAT ARE THE CONTRAINDICATIONS TO LASER HAIR REMOVAL?
All contraindications to laser hair removal procedures are divided into absolute - in which the manipulation CANNOT be performed and relative - temporary, the procedure can be DELAYED in time or performed under certain conditions.
Absolute contraindications are:
chronic skin diseases in the epilated area,
diabetes mellitus in the decompensation stage,
malignant skin neoplasms,
frequently recurring herpes,
severe varicose veins in the areas of exposure,
the presence of a pacemaker.
Relative contraindications:
pregnancy,
breastfeeding,
multiple moles in the area of exposure,
blood clotting disorders,
taking certain medications.
In these cases, the possibility of laser hair removal procedures is discussed with the specialist during an individual free consultation.
