All about epilation of the abdomen

Every woman faces the problem of removing excess hair. Cosmetologists have developed many methods of epilation and depilation that guarantee excellent results. Each area on the body has specific requirements for removing excess hair. The epilation of the abdomen deserves special attention.

Removing hair from the abdomen is a popular procedure not only for men, but also for women. Laser epilation of the abdomen is very popular. It becomes especially popular in the summer, when it is time to wear short tops, translucent fabrics and open swimwear. Also, women use photo and electrolysis. In beauty salons, this procedure is called "hair removal from the white line of the abdomen." This is the area from the navel to the pubis. It is here that the hairline is most concentrated.

There are a number of reasons why the fair sex is forced to seek the services of specialists.

• Hair growth is significantly affected by hormones. An excess of the male sex hormone testosterone leads to increased unwanted hair growth. They also become thicker, thicker and darker.
• The second factor is genetic predisposition. On the body of natural brunettes, excess vegetation is more pronounced. This is also typical of oriental girls.

As a rule, women and girls resort to hair removal services only when the vegetation becomes really visible and causes discomfort. Such procedures are regularly performed by the fair sex, who work as models, dancers or other related activities. According to experts, the conditions under which hair removal is required do not exist. However, there are situations when it is better to refuse this procedure. Men who look after their appearance also turn to specialists for hair removal from the "white line" of the abdomen. For representatives of the stronger sex, hair removal performs not only aesthetic, but also practical functions. Hair increases perspiration and is often the cause of unpleasant odors.

Beauty professionals have developed many ways to get rid of excess vegetation. The main difference between depilation and epilation is the high efficiency and long-term result of the latter. Due to the effect on the hair follicles, the skin remains smooth for a long time. Each of the salon procedures has individual characteristics.

The method is based on laser action on the hair root. This is a special equipment that is capable of converting electrical energy into a concentrated beam. There are several types of laser hair removal:

• diode;
• neodymium;
• alexandrite.

Each of them has its own wavelength of light. For epilation of abdominal hair, experts recommend using a diode laser. It is as safe and effective as possible. To completely remove excess vegetation, you will have to go through 4 to 8 sessions. The exact amount depends on the thickness of the hairline and the thickness of the hair. The diode laser is great for those with dark skin. Owners of fair skin can choose the alexandrite type of laser. If you use it on dark skin, traces may remain.

The advantages of the method.

• Hair removal for a long period of time. The result can last for several years.
• The procedure is painless, without causing discomfort. Unpleasant sensations can appear only if the patient has hypersensitivity. In this case, specialists use pain relievers.

Disadvantages.

• The laser method is time consuming and requires patience. The break between sessions can be up to 6 weeks. Provided that 4 to 8 treatments are required for hair removal, complete hair removal can take several months.
• Before visiting the salon and after the procedure, you must observe a number of restrictions: you cannot visit solariums, sunbathe in the sun.

The next option is based on the destruction of the hair follicle using high-pulse light. The flashes of light affect the melanin in the hair structure.

The advantages of this method:

• the skin remains smooth from six months to several years;
• the process of getting rid of excess hair is completely painless.

Minuses.

• Photoepilation can leave marks on dark skin, so it is better for dark-skinned women to abandon this technique or use it with caution.
• To achieve maximum results, a number of procedures will be required. The pause between sessions can be up to a month.
• Do not sunbathe before and after photoepilation. Whether natural or artificial tanning through a solarium. This can provoke pigmentation.

The last option that we will look at relieves hair using electrical impulses. Long-term results are noted as the main advantage. With the right approach, you can get rid of vegetation on the body forever.

Minuses.

• The procedure is painful. Pain relievers are used to minimize discomfort.
• The procedure can be carried out only in an equipped office.The beautician must have special knowledge and skills to conduct the session.
• In some cases, a large number of sessions will be required.

In order to properly prepare for the epilation procedure, experts have drawn up a number of general recommendations. They should be followed regardless of which type of hair removal has been torn out. You cannot place a beauty parlor in the following cases:

• there are cuts and other injuries on the skin;
• a large number of moles are concentrated on the stomach;
• tanned skin that has recently been exposed to sunlight or tanning beds;
• pregnancy at any time;
• chronic and serious diseases such as diabetes, malignant tumors, skin diseases.

Before epilation, it is necessary to grow hair of a certain length. Optimal height is 3 to 4 millimeters. You should also consult a specialist. A professional will take into account the patient's health status, skin characteristics and select the safest and most effective option.

A single laser hair removal session for women or girls can take about an hour. The client sits down in a chair, exposing the desired area of ​​skin. The beautician takes a special device that synthesizes a laser and processes the hairline. To protect the organs of vision, the specialist and the visitor wear special glasses. The duration of the course is determined by the cosmetologist, taking into account the physiological characteristics of the skin and the structure of the hair. The type of laser is also selected. Each type has a different pulse frequency and wavelength.

With regard to electrolysis, two types of procedures have been developed: forceps and needle. They differ in the type of electrodes used. In the first technique, each hair is grasped with tweezers. An electric current is passed through it. It reaches the follicle and destroys it. This method is used less and less because of the time required. It takes about 2 minutes for one hair. The second option is more common. A thin needle is inserted into the hair follicle, through which an electric current flows. The energy charge that creates heat has a destructive effect on the hair.

Specialists use three types of needles:

• medical alloy - ideal for sensitive skin;
• gold needles are great for allergy sufferers;
• with teflon insulation.

The needles are used only once. Reapplication is only possible for the same client. When carrying out photoepilation, the patient sits in a comfortable chair or on a couch. The belly is exposed. As with laser hair removal, the visitor and the beautician wear safety glasses. To protect the skin from the negative effects of light flashes, a special gel is applied to it. The hair section is processed using a manipulator.

When choosing any of the epilation methods, it is imperative to take into account such effects. As a rule, they occur if the hair removal method was not chosen correctly or mistakes were made during the procedure.

Customers may experience the following:

• redness of the skin;
• peeling;
• dark spots;
• burns;
• ingrown hair;
• hypersensitivity of the skin;
• red dots.

Even if the preparatory procedures were followed, and the session was conducted without errors, sometimes such effects cannot be avoided. They can be short-lived and after several days the skin returns to its normal state.
