LASER HAIR REMOVAL

lasernaja-epiljacija-art-esthetic-tallinn

At the moment, laser hair removal is the most effective, efficient and safe way to remove unwanted hair. In medical terms, this is the destruction of the follicles and the sealing of the vessels that feed the hair bulbs.

The visual effect is noticeable immediately after the first session and cannot be compared with the result after hair removal with a razor: velvety, smooth and tender skin without blackheads of growing hair, redness and irritation.

Quick result

After the first session, the growth of visible hair slows down and hair begins to fall out.

Safe

Laser hair removal does not cause any negative consequences for your body.

Painless

The special cooling system makes the treatment painless.

How does a laser work?

The principle of operation of laser hair removal is based on the effect on the hair follicle of a narrowly directed beam of light waves of a specially selected length. Penetrating to a depth of 2-3 mm from the surface of the skin, these waves effect only on the bulb (hair root) and do not affect in any way the rest of the cells of the epidermis.

In the process of laser hair removal, the melanin contained in the hair absorbs the light directed at it (laser flashes), which leads to heating of the hair from the inside and subsequent destruction of the hair follicle and the vessel feeding it.

Under such an effect, the hair soon falls out along with the root painlessly. This effect lasts for several years until the natural restoration of the follicle. All hair in the active growth phase (visible on the skin surface) falls out within 2 weeks after the first treatment. The remaining hairs, which were in an inactive phase at the time of the session or in the process of preparing for growth, are removed during repeated treatments (about 6-10 sessions in total) when they become visible on the surface of the skin and thus are available for exposure to laser light.

Types of laser hair removal

The effectiveness of laser hair removal treatments directly depends on the type and quality of the laser equipment that is applied during the sessions. To date, there are four lasers on the market that differ in wavelength:

Ruby laser (694 nm)
Alexandrite laser (755 nm)
Diode laser (808 nm)
Neodymium laser (1064 nm)

The diode laser (808 nm) is rightfully considered the best, since it focuses the beams to the required penetration depth. When using a diode laser, there is no such heating of the skin as it happens when using other types of lasers, which often leaves burns.

Diode lasers can be successfully used to remove hair of any color (except gray), and on all phototypes of the skin: from pale Scandinavian to dark African.

The principle of operation of a diode laser

The principle of operation of a diode laser
A laser beam with a wavelength of 808 nm penetrates directly into the hair and effects on the dark pigment inside it, called melanin.

Due to a special cooling system and a minimum pulse duration of the laser device (otherwise called a flash), overheating or violation of the integrity of the surface and intradermal structures does not occur. Thus, the patient is safe from rashes, wounds or scars.

The laser beam has aseptic and anti-inflammatory properties due to the high temperature of the flash. Thus, a negative effect on the patient’s skin is excluded, unlike when using such “veterans” in the fight against unwanted hair as shaving with a razor or waxing.

The laser effects exclusively on the hair itself and the hair bulb, without affecting the dermal layer or internal organs.

The effectiveness of laser hair removal

The effectiveness of laser hair removal has been proven by many years of practice. The most modern and safe laser for this treatment is a diode laser.

After the first hair removal session, at least 20% of the hair follicles on the treated area of the body are destroyed. During further treatments the result is preserved, and every new time at least 15-20% of the hair follicles are destroyed.

The hair removal treatment is repeated until the hair stops growing. The number of necessary treatments and the intervals between them depend on the structure of the patient’s hair. Different parts of the body may require a different number of treatments, but the average course is from 6 to 8 sessions for women and from 8 to 12 for men at an interval of 4-6 weeks.

Preparation for the treatment

In most cases, no special actions are required before the laser hair removal treatment, however, to achieve maximum effect, we recommend following these simple rules:

Do not go to the beach or solarium 2 weeks before the treatment;
Stop pulling out your hair in any way (wax, sugaring, tweezers, mechanical hair removal unit, etc.) 2-4 weeks before the start of the course of laser hair removal;
A day before or on the day of visiting our center, shave your hair with a regular razor, since the laser procedure is performed exclusively on smooth skin;
Clean the skin on the areas of the body where hair removal will be done before the treatment, do not use deodorant, foundation, etc.

During the treatment

The specialist determines your skin phototype and selects the optimal settings of the device.
Then a special cooling gel is put on the skin for maximum comfort during the treatment. The duration of the session on average takes from 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the selected area.

After the treatment

After the diode laser hair removal treatment, the skin needs a recovery period, so please:

Refrain from deep peeling of the face if the treatment was performed on it;
Do not undergo hair removal treatment related to the removal of hair with the root (wax, tweezers, sugaring or mechanical hair removal unit);
Avoid sunbathing or going to the solarium for 2 weeks.

Who is indicated for laser hair removal treatment?

Diode laser hair removal is not only an aesthetic beauty and a way to significantly simplify daily body care procedures. There are cases when such hair removal treatment may be the only solution to combat excess hair, and classical methods of hair removal are simply not applicable due to the individual characteristics of a particular patient.

For example, if:

your hair grows quickly and abundantly;
classical hair removal treatment causes painful sensations or skin irritation;
you have a lot of ingrown hairs;
after classical hair removal treatment, you suffer the “bluebeards” effect;
you suffer from folliculitis (inflammation of hair follicles);

In all the cases described, laser hair removal will help to get rid of unpleasant sensations and excess hair, and will greatly simplify and ease your life.

Who is contraindicated for laser hair removal treatment?

Before registering for the treatment, be sure to read the list of contraindications, in which laser hair removal is not allowed:

pregnancy and lactation period;
photocontact dermatitis;
the presence of herpes, psoriasis or keloid scars in the treatment area;
hair birthmarks in the treatment area;
multiple moles on the body;
disorders of blood coagulation (leukemia);
various forms of diabetes mellitus;
oncological diseases;
the use of hormonal agents and some painkillers (mandatory consultation with the attending physician is required);
epilepsy;
some types of viral diseases;
heightened sensitivity to light.
