Unwanted hair on the face and body is the problem of many modern women. Now there are many different hair removal options. Home methods. shaving, depilation cream, epalator. do not give the desired effect. Therefore, new technologies are gaining more and more popular, which allow you to get rid of hair for a longer period.
For example, such a hardware method as photoepilation.
We perform photoepilation on a powerful modern Clearlight apparatus (production. South Korea). It also conducts procedures such as photography; Phototherapy of rosacea, rosacea; Acne and pigmentation photographic. You can read about each of these procedures separately.
Are electrons, laser and home.epilators effective for home
“Rosting” We will start with electro.power. Still, today this is still the only method that in skillful and experienced hands gives the long-awaited results of the final deliverance from unwanted sprouts.
This method of hair removal consists in the introduction of a special probe into the mouth of the hair bag and the supply of certain current through it, which destroys all the sprout elements. Bottom line. a full.fledged riding of hair in a processed place.
And so. a hair behind a hairy. a specialist is working on the entire given area.
All this takes a long time, is quite expensive and requires dentistance and punctuality from the client.
Turning from the salon procedure to home alternatives, it should be noted that there are two categories of current removal systems on the market for personal use.
Needle technique at home
The first successfully imitates the above treatment in clinics. The difference lies in significantly lower values of exposure parameters. The work plan of this group is simple: a small needle is in the same way into a follicle, and the supplied energy destroys the structures of the hair.
Let’s look at, say, a hand and try to mentally enter the tool into a tiny hole, that is, a follicle of the hair.
Happened? If you are honest with yourself, you admit that the probability of inaccurate hit is huge.
And this means that we will pierce the surface itself, enter the skin and perform the procedure not in the root system of the hair, but simply in the dermis.
Surely you will easily answer the question of what will turn out in the end: burns, pigmentation, scars.
Masters are devoted to training for a long time, and they spend even more time on the acquisition of competent therapy skills, in addition to this, professional equipment is purchased.
As we have already mentioned earlier, the values of the intensity of home devices are significantly inferior to the parameters of specialized.
And what does it matter? The most direct!
The fact is that for an effective fight against vegetation, a sufficient amount of energy flow is needed, and its deficiency will affect the active appearance of the further generation of hair.
In addition, the rods in different places require an unequal approach. Electrical systems select specific combinations for sufficient destruction, and companies invest round amounts for equipment that will provide sufficient flexibility in the settings.
In other words, without proper learning, it is almost impossible to reach the right place, and the low values of electricity will reduce all attempts to perform the procedure correctly to zero.
Thus, the promises of home.made manufacturers to cope with the task are very far from the truth.
Non.invasive electrolysis
Another representative of this family is non.invasive electrolysis: physical effects through the skin without penetration deeper.
The first such apparatus was patented in 1959 and gained incredible popularity in the 70s under the name “painless and constant alternative to electrical power”.
The statement sounded too good to be true 🙂
Marketers argued that the use of forceps does not require any skills, it is absolutely comfortable to use, devoid of any complications and brings exactly the same results as professional electro-power.
The essence of the procedure is this: through the tweezers that captured the tip of the sprout, a current is supplied, which (according to distributors) damages its root.
However, in 1985, the Federal Trade Commission in the United States accused the manufacturer for false promises to remove hair forever.
The company was obliged to place a note on all ads that no convincing evidence of effectiveness exists.
However, entrepreneurs found a gap in legislation prohibiting only varying devices, and did not fail to use it.
From this moment on, the conducting gel supposedly to enhance electrical conductivity was supplied to the “load” to the forceps, and the system itself began to be supplied as exposure using electrolysis.
Sales of these machines went off scale until 1998, when the management of products and medicines (FDA) put an end to the debate, confirming that there are no scientific data in support of the constant or long.term result of these devices.
Published works, on the contrary, sanctified the facts of the uselessness of this product. April 2, 2001 FDA confirmed for the second time about a clear violation of the state law through fraudulent slogans.
But the story did not end there. After the decline in sales, changes were made to the device: the tweezers were replaced with cotton sticks and the device began to be called transdermal electrolysis.
Electric forceps were still attached as an additional option.
In the next generation, specific stickers appeared, and in this form the products were called “transdermal electrolysis for the final struggle with the hair”.
A widely known and successful methodology for the penetration of cosmetic drugs using galvania was taken as a basis. This was an justification for the appearance of another advertising campaign, indicating a safe and effective treatment.
The procedure procedure looks like this: a special gel is applied, electrodes are placed, through which an electrical effect is supplied to the skin.
According to expectations, growth cells should be destroyed by the current that travels down the rod and reaction with the liquid inside the follicle with the formation of alkali.
It is amazing that this system is sold not only for personal use, but also in professional clinics.
The fact is that according to the laws of physics, the cornea structure of the hair is not a conductor, and charged particles simply will not run along it, preferring more than the dermis itself.
Therefore, having come to the surface, the current will simply spread over the surface. An insignificant amount of current will reach our goal, if something comes at all.
There are absolutely no scientific documents in support of promises. It is logical to ask a question: why there are no work in this direction?
How is the laser hair removal procedure?
At the first appointment, the doctor talks with you, conducts an examination and talks about the procedure itself, about how the laser affects the hair and what results you need to expect, excludes contraindications for the procedure. Then, the actual removal is performed, which takes 10-30 minutes, depending on the selected zone. After the procedure, the doctor will process the produced areas of the skin with a sedative.
The laser hair removal procedure on a diode laser does not require special preparation. It is recommended to shave the hair in the epilized area on the eve of the procedure. This is necessary in order to reduce the loss of energy of the laser beam and minimize painful sensations. Permissible hair length. 2 mm.

And what is very important is not to injure the hair follicle, which means not to use wax, shugaring and other methods of pulling hair three weeks before the start of laser hair removal procedures. Such a hair follicle injured by the laser effectiveness will significantly reduce the effectiveness of the action of the laser. Just in this aspect, we can talk about “hair growth”. before the start of the laser is used. During this period, they can be safely shaved.

And between sessions, if there is no way to come to the next procedure, growing hair is best shaken or trimmed. It is also recommended not to sunbathe for 4-7 days before the procedure.

Whether the skin is damaged during the photoepilation procedure?
No, not damaged. The procedure for removing unwanted hair occurs without violating the integrity of the skin. Any photoepilation procedure begins after preliminary testing precisely in the place where hair removal is planned. Correctly selected parameters reduce the risk of negative consequences to zero.

Brief results
What is the difference in removal hair removal?
During depilation, the hair itself is removed. with or without root; The effect lasts up to 3 weeks depending on the method.
Hair removal in one way or another destroys the hair follicle, and the hair stops growing.
What type of hair removal is preferable?
It all depends on the budget and in some cases on the type of hair (for example, photoepilation is not suitable for removing blond hair on the body). As shown by numerous reviews on the Internet, laser hair removal, AFT- and QOOL epilation are most popular. Their advantage is that they are considered painless and are highly effective. If you set the goal, then in 5-7 months you can completely get rid of excess hair on the body, provided that the procedures are regularly regular.
How to properly care for skin after hair removal?
It is worth adhering to a special algorithm of action. Hint from our expert Maria Nevskaya:
On the day of the procedure, sections for epilization should not be wetted (for the prevention of folliculitis).
Over the next 2-3 days, you can not sunbathe, visit the bathhouse and sauna, as well as wear tight linen and clothes that can provoke irritation.
Starting from the second day, use moisturizing and restoring gels or panthenol creams until the next epilation session is for the prevention of ingrown hair due to increased dry skin.
For the same purpose, it makes sense to use a scrub once a week. In the zone of bikini and armpits, it is recommended to use special tools for slowing hair growth on an ongoing basis.
Comparison of photo and electro-power for dark hair
The optical dynasty consists of several relatives. This includes widely performing photoepilation, where a powerful lamp emits a wide range of wavelengths that are filtered out by special devices.
A variety of types of lasers. narrowly focused radiation with strictly verified characteristics.
The same group includes a device called Elos, combining light functions and electrical impulses.
Features of electro.power
Electro.power in its centenary history demonstrated exceptional results in the fight against unwanted hair.
Despite the active search for an analogue to this system, while it remains the only way to remove vegetation in life in the world.
Work takes place with each copy separately, which we owe a decent duration of the process.

A specialist with jewelry accuracy introduces a probe into the mouth of the follicle, supplies alternating or direct current with pre.set parameters, and burns not only the hair itself, the root system, but also the stem cells located in the distance.
Also cauterization of the capillary network. All this destroys any possibility of resuming the growth of subsequent “recruits” in the root.
A microranka appears at the site of the processed element, which is filled with a scar tissue, which provides a lifelong result.
There are many minuses of the described technique: the aforementioned duration of the process (1-2 years of regular visits), aggregate high cost, discomfort.
But this is worth it, since this method is categorically the same as what the color of the hair and skin, localization, etc.
