Choosing a method of hair removal for a modern woman is one of the most important, because each of the fair sex wants the procedure to be painless, but the result lasts a long time. To date, all types of hair removal have pros and cons, so how do you choose the right one for you?
What is epilation?
If only a few years ago the main types of hair removal were plucking the hair with a depilator and using a cream, today there are a lot more. For the complete removal of hairs in any area of the body, women are increasingly using methods of hardware cosmetology:
- Photoepilation - the zone of growth of hairs is irradiated with thermal energy, which is converted from the energy of light.
- Electrolysis - a hair bulb is destroyed by electric energy, which is converted into heat.
- Qool-epilation - affects the radiation only on the hairs, and the skin remains intact at the same time.
- Laser hair removal - the hair follicle is destroyed by radiation. There are different types of laser hair removal (alexandrite, ruby, diode, neodymium), which differ in the type of laser used.
- AFT-hair removal - pulsed infrared radiation selectively affects hair bulbs.
There are also types of hair removal, removing hairs for good. This is enzymatic and Elos hair removal. The first for several procedures destroys the follicle by introducing special substances into it, and the other destroys the bulb of the hair, acting on it with light energy with a current of high frequency. These are very effective methods, but they need to be repeated often, and the total cost is quite high.
