Hand hair removal can be done using the following methods.

1. Photoepilation. This is the most painless method available for radical hair removal, but it is not suitable for people with blonde hair and skin. The action takes place with the help of a special lamp that creates a directed light pulse. In this case, the pigment melanin contained in the hair causes a thermal reaction, destroying the follicle.
2. Laser exposure. This option is good for people with fair skin and dark hairs on their hands. It allows you to effectively destroy hair follicles, but the device has a small contact area, which greatly delays the treatment session for problem areas. The great advantage of the procedure is the absence of painful sensations.
3. Electrolysis. The method involves the destruction of follicles using controlled current discharges. The procedure is painful, requires up to 7 days to recover; in case of hypersensitivity, it is recommended to use cryogenic cooling or anesthesia during hair removal.
4. Elos. An epilation method that combines electric current and light exposure. It is considered more convenient for widespread use, but it is not available in all centers of aesthetic medicine. On average, you need from 4 to 6 treatment sessions, the breaks between them reach 1-3 months.
