The basic principle in the operation of the epilation device is that laser light is sent to the hair follicles. The sent
light destroys hair follicles thermally or mechanically. In this method, the ability of dark objects to absorb light
is used. As it is known, since dark colored objects attract more light, the temperature on these objects is higher.
The melanin substance in the hair, which gives it its color, also has the ability to absorb light. Accordingly, the light received turns into heat and causes damage to the hair.
The results obtained from the epilation application depend on the devices used. The relationship of the laser parameters in these devices with your skin, beam type, etc. factors affect the result. It is also important to choose the method that suits your
skin characteristics.
The epilation parameters that affect the result are shown below. The wavelength of the laser
light used for epilation varies between visible light and infrared. br /> absence means that no studies have been conducted on that subject and the effects are not clearly known. In other words, you are faced with an unknown situation, if you are pregnant, not taking risks would be the best behavior.
Is epilation harmful?
No clinical study has yet been found regarding the harms of epilation. Side effects that occur during the application rather than serious harms
are mentioned. For example, itching in the area where laser application
is applied. There may be effects such as skin pain, redness, swelling. These effects are temporary and usually disappear in 3-4
days. Apart from these, hyper-pigmentation, skin burns and risk of infection may occur depending on the device used and device settings.
How many sessions are required for epilation?
Laser light affects the hair follicles in the anagen (active) phase. Not all roots are active at the same time.
Therefore, when telogen (passive) roots become active, it will be necessary to apply laser to them.
Permanent solution in epilation. , will not happen with a single application. However, results can be obtained
only after a few sessions. It is not possible to give an exact number of sessions
since the thickness and density of the hair is different on every body. The number of sessions may vary from person to person and from region to region.
On average, for most people, 5-8 sessions of epilation may be sufficient for a permanent solution.
What should be done before epilation?
Methods that affect the root, such as tweezing, waxing and hair removal cream, should not be used in the application area, starting 4 weeks in advance. In addition, sunlight and tanning should also be avoided
.
What should be taken into consideration after epilation?
After epilation, use tweezers, wax and hair removal cream that affect the root. methods
should not be used and tanning should be avoided. If you are going to go out in the sun, you should definitely use a protective cream.
After the application, the hair will grow within 3-10 days. However, the roots of most of these hairs have been destroyed
and will not grow again. These may fall off on their own or they can be removed with the help of hands.
Estrella aesthetics provides consultancy on this application.
