Preparation

- Try to spend less time in the sun and avoid going to the tanning salon 14 days before your scheduled session. Hair discolored by the sun's rays are difficult to break down, and tanned skin becomes more sensitive to the laser.
- Do not use self-tanning creams.
- Do not remove vegetation by other means, such as with a machine, because the hairs should protrude above the skin.
- 7 days before laser hair removal, do not use cosmetics that contain alcohol. It dries out the skin, and this can lead to unpleasant sensations during a session with a beautician.
- Before the procedure, the décolleté area cannot be smeared with cream. It can interfere with laser exposure, provoke adverse reactions.
- Follow the schedule of sessions and the rules of skin care in between.
- Those hairs that have not been destroyed by the laser will have to be left until the next procedure.
How is it done?
Each hair has not only the outer part, but also the follicle that holds it. Simple removal of the visible portion will provoke rapid regrowth.
You can get rid of vegetation for a long time by acting on the hair follicle.
The laser beam guarantees this directional effect. It has a certain temperature and wavelength, and the destruction of the follicle occurs due to its heating.
The exposure is carried out through the pigment of the visible part of the hair. It absorbs the heat that comes from the laser beam and transports it to the bulb. For this reason, it is important that the hairs are mature. Heat treatment stops their growth. 60 minutes before the session, the area to be hair removed is covered with an anesthetic cream. It is used in case of abundant vegetation, when the procedure promises to be long.
Laser epilation includes the following steps.
- The client sits in a chair, taking a reclining position.
- The area exposed to the laser is exposed and other parts of the body are covered with tissue. Eyes are protected with glasses.
- The beautician conducts a session with gloves and glasses. He activates the device, setting the exposure mode in accordance with the type of skin and vegetation. A special nozzle synthesizes heat, alternating it with cooling: this avoids pain and burns. One flash covers approximately 2.5 sq. cm.
The procedure lasts from 20 to 60 minutes. During its implementation, discomfort is minimized. At the end of the session, the skin may turn red, so beauticians advise using anti-inflammatory creams.
How many sessions will it take?
For the complete removal of breast hair, several procedures will be required, they are carried out at regular intervals. Since hair growth is uneven, the number of sessions is determined based on the degree of hair distribution. The individual characteristics of the organism should also be taken into account. In one session, it is possible to remove from 15 to 40% of the hairs on the chest.
The speed of getting rid of unwanted vegetation depends on a combination of factors: the location of the hair, their color, stiffness. The condition of the hairs is influenced by the hormonal background, the age of the person.
It takes about 5 procedures to eliminate hair on the female breast.
This number of sessions is enough to almost completely get rid of vegetation., but to maintain the result, the cosmetologist will have to make visits every 6-12 months. Although there are women who do not need a repetition of the procedure for several years.
