But is laser hair removal safe? What is the effect? Let’s talk about laser hair removal today.
The principle and advantages of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is the direct destruction of the hair follicle root of the hair shaft and hair bulb through high-energy laser beams, making the melanin at the root of the hair follicle selectively absorb light energy, resulting in a sharp increase in local temperature, the hair follicle tissue is destroyed and can not be regenerated. Compared with traditional hair removal methods such as plucking and shaving, laser hair removal has the following advantages.
(1) Semi-permanent hair removal
Laser hair removal can achieve semi-permanent hair removal, while traditional hair removal methods generally only last a few days or a week or so. However, to achieve the effect of semi-permanent hair removal, 5-10 sessions are required.
Hair growth goes through anagen, regression, and resting phases. Hair in the anagen phase can be removed by 75% with laser hair removal, 25% in the regression phase, and almost ineffective in the resting phase, so it is best to choose to have laser hair removal during the anagen phase. Also, it takes several times to have significant results.
Based on the fact that different areas have different growth cycles, the time interval of each time also varies. For example, hair on the head has a relatively short resting period, so the interval can be as short as 1 month; hair on the trunk and extremities has a relatively long resting period, so a treatment interval of 2 months is appropriate.
Most of the hairs can be removed after 5-10 times of using the laser, and the remaining part, if any, will not affect the skin’s smoothness. And those home hair removal apparatus use weaker photons than energy, so the number of treatments may be more than laser.
(2) Good effect
