All about facial hair removal

Quite a few women have facial hair problems. Even those girls to whom a beloved man says that a light fluff above the lip is piquant, still consider this a disadvantage. To get rid of this problem for a long time or permanently, they resort to various procedures, including epilation.

Facial epilation is a procedure for artificially removing hair in different areas by destroying hair follicles in different ways. The main difference between epilation and depilation is that here the hair thread is removed along with the follicle, so the hair does not grow back. As a result, the procedure is more efficient. If we consider depilation, then during its implementation, only that part of the hairs that is visible on the surface is removed.

Today there are several methods of hair removal. It is worth noting that not all of them are effective, because some procedures must be carried out several times in order for the result to be long-lasting. Besides, each person is different and hair grows differently.

To determine the most suitable epilation method for yourself and permanently get rid of hair in unnecessary places, you should familiarize yourself with the different procedures in more detail.

This hair removal technique is done using high pulses of light.It is based on the fact that melanin, that is, the growth pigment located in the shaft, as well as in the hair follicle, has the ability to absorb light. The blood supplying the bulb in the capillaries begins to coagulate under the influence of waves. As a result, the follicle is left without substances necessary for life and dies. As a result, the hairs disappear.

It should be noted that Light waves are absorbed with varying degrees of intensity, and this degree primarily depends on the hair color. Dark hair contains more melanin than light hair. Therefore, when doing photoepilation, it is necessary to use a light source with varying degrees of absorption. This selective effect on hairs is called selective photothermolysis.

To do this, the hair must be heated to a temperature of 75 degrees. Thus, not only hair follicles die, but also hair papillae. As a result, hair growth stops. Among the advantages of this procedure, it is worth noting the following:

• contactless impact;
• the skin is minimally damaged;
• the possibility of infection is completely excluded;
• the session lasts from 5 to 25 minutes;
• the skin is rejuvenated, because during epilation, the production of collagen is significantly activated;
• you can remove both light and dark hair;
• the cost of one session is not high, so even a course will not cost a lot.

Among the disadvantages of photoepilation, it is worth noting that for the effectiveness of the procedure, it will take at least three sessions. Despite this, hairs begin to fall out after the first procedure. Having decided to go for photoepilation, it is worth remembering the contraindications:

• first of all, you should not go to a session if there is an allergic reaction;
• the procedure must be abandoned for people with problems such as hypertension or coronary artery disease;
• with varicose veins, photoepilation is also strictly prohibited;
• do not agree to the procedure if there are infections or tumors.

This procedure is carried out with a special laser. It is used for radical hair removal with complete destruction of follicles without further restoration. Laser hair removal is considered not only cosmetic, but also a medical technique. It should be noted that the result will be noticeable after the first session. However, in order for the vegetation to stop appearing completely, it will take from 5 to 9 procedures, because the hairs at the time of the first session may remain in the growth stage and cannot be removed the first time. Be sure to take small breaks between sessions at least 2-3 weeks.

Once a year, it is imperative to go to a salon or medical facility for a supportive procedure.... These days, this technique is the most effective. The procedure itself is as follows: melanin located in the hair follicle, as well as in the shaft, can absorb light waves in the 800 nm range, as a result of which melanin begins to heat up and, accordingly, destroy the necessary matrix cells nearby, as well as the vessels that nourish the hair follicle. Literally in 10 days a hair with a "dead" root will fall out.

It should be noted that laser hair removal is suitable not only for men, but also for women with light blond or dark hair. In addition, you need to know that such a procedure is carried out only from the age of 18. There are also a number of contraindications, which you need to familiarize yourself with in more detail:

• oncology;
• diseases associated with diabetes mellitus;
• grey hair;
• immune diseases;
• acute chronic skin diseases;
• a large number of moles;
• keloid scars;
• pregnancy;
• small abrasions or scratches.

Diode hair removal is more effective than laser hair removal, because the laser penetrates much deeper into the follicles, but is absorbed by the cells less.For this procedure, a special apparatus is used - Light Sheer DUET. With its help, you can get rid of unwanted facial hair forever. It is enough to carry out 3-4 sessions, and 90 percent of unwanted hair will be gone. As a result of the performed procedure:

• partially narrowed blood vessels;
• the distance between the follicles and the emitter is significantly reduced;
• the energy of the diode laser is directed only to the destruction of hair;
• pain sensations are much reduced.

You can also remove unwanted facial hair using electrolysis. The technique works by applying a small electrical discharge to the hair follicle. After that, the protein of the follicle begins to fold, which makes it possible to extract the hair completely quickly and painlessly using tweezers. In its place, a new hair will never be able to form. The current is delivered using a very thin sterile needle, which is inserted directly into the hair channel to a depth of 2 to 5 millimeters. According to clinical studies, today electrolysis is the only technique that allows you to get rid of unnecessary hairs forever.

This procedure is carried out only in a special medical institution, because after the session, the integrity of the skin is violated. Accordingly, special care is required after it. Before starting the procedure, the master treats the needle insertion site with alcohol or chlorhexidine. Then the specialist makes a test injection and determines the required power for a specific person. If it is insufficient, then the intensity of the impact can be increased.

Do not worry if redness or swelling appears during the epilation session, because this indicates the beginning of the recovery process. To shorten this period, you can apply a special gel to the skin. Another interesting way of hair removal is called elos. It is a combination of radio waves and light energy. Its main distinguishing feature is the removal of any type of hair.

So that after the procedure the skin does not dry out and does not become inflamed, special care will be required, because it takes about 2 weeks to restore the skin. The rules allow you to use a moisturizer for the treated area of ​​your own preference. In any case, it is necessary to additionally apply a bactericidal agent to the treated area so that the skin does not become inflamed. It is also not forbidden to use good quality cosmetics for care.

There is no prohibition on procedures such as washing your face or using nourishing masks. However, for more confidence, it is worth asking the master which of them you can do. To soothe the skin after the procedure, very often experts recommend using a remedy such as "Panthenol". After an epilation session, you need to take care of yourself for a while and use a more gentle mode:

• products containing alcohol should be avoided;
• it is necessary to refuse trips to the pool, where there is chlorine, as well as to the sauna;
• you can not use self-tanning or tanning in the sun;
• it is forbidden to use peels or scrubs.

According to patient reviews, a procedure such as hair removal is the most effective and safest technique for removing unnecessary facial hair. According to most people, it has more pros than cons. First of all, the effect on the face area during epilation is painless, after that there is no irritation. In addition, girls or women do not need to go to the salon often in order to be completely confident in themselves. After a few days, the skin area where the hair removal was carried out will become smooth (without traces of vegetation).

The only drawback of this procedure is the high cost. However, this cannot stop the beauties, because it is better to remove hair once and for all than to waste time and money on regular procedures. Summing up, we can say that hair removal gives a long-lasting effect and smooth skin.
