Women steadfastly and courageously fight with vegetation on their bodies, launching a variety of methods, including the latest technological advances. So, one of the most effective and thus painless methods of hair removal is laser hair removal. To date, it is offered in many cosmetic clinics and beauty salons and this procedure is popular even despite the high cost and some danger. The fact is that the effect of laser radiation on the human body has not been studied to the end and, probably, in the future, hair removal at home can result in some consequences. But most women, enticed by the prospect of hair removal for a long time, do not think much about it.
So, if you chose this method of getting rid of annoying vegetation, perhaps it makes sense to get yourself a laser epilator compact, designed for home use. Prices for these miracle devices start at $ 300, but if you compare this amount to salon prices, it becomes clear that the purchase is extremely beneficial.
Principle of work of household laser epilator
The essence of the laser epilator is simple. The device produces infrared light, which for a split second affects the hair, destroying its bulb. This skin is not damaged. In professional devices ruby, alexandrite and sapphire lasers are used, hence their high price and, as a consequence, the cost of the epilation session. In the production of laser home epilators, semiconductor lasers are simpler. They are much lower in power and, accordingly, affect a smaller area.
Deciding on the purchase, it should be remembered that:
- The laser beam only affects the dark hair, destroying its follicle. For thin, light, gun, and also gray hair this method does not work;
- the device will not be effective on a very tanned and swarthy skin - infrared radiation will simply dissipate over its surface;
- laser hair removal has a number of contraindications, such as arthritis, varicose veins, skin diseases and so on, so it's best to consult a dermatologist about which hair removal method is right for you.
How to use a laser home epilator?
- For starters, you should read the instructions for determining the radiation power to affect specific areas.
- Try the epilator on a small area of skin and wait a day for negative consequences.
- The optimal length of hair for epilation is 1-3 mm, so they must be shaved or cut beforehand.
- The procedure should be carried out only on clean dry skin.
- Turn on the epilator and attach it closely to the skin. At this time, there will be a flash of light. Then move it to another zone. The coverage area of the home epilator is small - about 3 cm².
- The same place in one session is not recommended to be processed twice.
- Especially convenient at home is a scanning laser epilator that allows you to remove hair even in hard-to-reach places that are not visible to the naked eye.
- The hair on the treated area will fall within a few days - be patient.
- Repeat the procedure can be no earlier than 2-3 weeks.
How to choose a laser epilator? -
With all the variety of modern models of laser home epilators, the fundamental difference between them is only in price, design and availability of additional functions. Think about whether to overpay for a newer model with "bells and whistles," which you probably will not use at all.
