Laser Depilation –Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is more popular

Laser hair removal is one of the most popular laser procedures. We use the high-powered hair removal laser of new generation GENTLELASE made by American company Candela. This device for laser hair removal is approved worldwide and by American FDA as a machine used for long lasting until lasting unwanted hair removal. There is a unique system of dynamic cooling.

Laser hair removal offers long lasting hair removal

The laser beam destroys hair follicles by many manners together, the most effective from them is the attack against the pigmentation in hair follicles, that the laser beam finds without damage of the skin. This method of laser hair removal is called selective photothermolysis. Other methods are vessel storage of hair follicle – action, damage of hair follicles through shock wave and free radical attack.

Laser only destroys hair in its active growth phase, the anagen phase. In view of the fact, that hairs are in variously growth phases, there is a need to repeat the treatment after a period of time to damage oher hairs, that are in the active growth phase.

Laser hair removal and number of sessions

The number of sessions is very individual, it depends especially on treated area and hair follicle depth, amount of pigmentation in the hair follicle, skin type, genetic dispositions and growth speed, hormone situation etc. 6-8 sessions after 1-4 months are ground and then finishing of rest parts as necessary.

Laser hair removal, optimal conditions for application

This is a method of permanent removal of unwanted hair, it causes partial rather full damage of hair follicles and so it comes to its destruction, hairs on these places growth smoother, until they do never growth.

For this laser procedure is optimal the fair skin with dark hairs, but with this unique system of cooling the fairly tan or darker skin can be treated.

The optimal preparation before the treatment are short hairs in length of 0,5-1 mm. It is optimal to use some of other hair removal methods in the time between constituent laser procedures, as epilator or tweezers, on the body (except face) wax, too etc. Not very appropriate is using of shaver, because the hair could ingrow.

Laser hair removal and methods of treatment

Laser hair removal procedure is not too painful, we can compare it to tingling, it is very quick, e.g. treatment of upper lip area and chin area lasts only for several minutes. We can apply a numbing cream for tender areas or for larger areas, this cream must be applied one hour before the treatment.

Laser hair removal, after the treatment

A part of impacted hairs in the skin can stay for several days, these hairs fall out gradually, you can remove them with tweezers.

The skin can be red and you can feel tingling immediately after the treatment, these feelings disappear within several minutes or hours, swelling, blisters and crusting, possibly pigmentary changes – skin darkening or skin lightening can appear only exceptionally.

Apply recommended formulations including creams with UV filter according to instructions, that you get before the treatment.

Laser hair removal and using possibilities

Laser hair removal can be used on all parts of body, with the exception of places with acute skin inflammation and with specific type of birthmark (intradermal naevus).

Upper lip, chin, armpit, groins, nipples, shanks and forearms by women and cheeks, and neck (particularly because of ingrowing hairs) and back or chest because of sweating, sports or only because of thinning of too thick hair by men are the most treated areas.

So far laser hair removal has been the most precise, effective and quick method for gradually permanent removal of unwanted hair, it has not been overcome yet.
