Since ancient times, people, especially women, have taken care of their skin using various means. Thanks to this kind of care, looking good, that is, having beautiful and smooth skin, was one of the most important conditions.
In ancient Egypt, Rome and India, ladies paid special attention to the beauty of their skin, and first of all, they looked for ways to get rid of unwanted hair. Fashionable ladies and gentlemen of the Middle Ages wore thread, stone, sugar paste, sponge stone, fish ear, etc. they used to remove the hairs. Since then, many waters have flowed and methods have changed and modernized, of course, this field has also developed a lot. Nowadays, not only ladies, but also gentlemen use the popular procedure such as laser hair removal. Recently, gentlemen are increasingly turning to laser epilation for ear, nose, hair and beard edges.
What is laser hair removal?
Almost everyone knows what laser hair removal is. But many people are unaware of how this procedure works. During epilation, the melanin pigment in the hair bulb absorbs the light energy of the laser, turns it into heat energy, and the follicle is heated and destroyed.
The period of removal of hair from the skin is considered to be 14 days.
After this procedure is repeated many times (the number depends on the individual body and skin), the hair no longer grows in those places. This is exactly what modern ladies (as well as gentlemen) want. After all, until there was no laser hair removal, i.e., until recently, people who achieved painful but short-term cleaning by using wax, thread, various creams and pastes, now achieve it more comfortably and long-term. Such procedures save precious time from gold and are convenient. Several types of lasers are used in the epilation procedure: alexandrite, diode, ruby, sapphire, etc. The ruby laser is the earliest stage of these.
There is a difference between depilation and epilation. Epilation removes hair from the root. Depilation is the removal of hair from the upper part of the skin, without touching the follicle. This method (with tweezers, wax, razor, thread, etc.) in any case damages the top layer of the skin.
“The master should be interested in the patient’s health first”
Epilation master Nuriya Adigozalova says that laser hair removal cannot be performed on everyone: “Each educated master should be interested in the patient’s health first. So, laser hair removal is prohibited if the skin has an open or incompletely healed wound, a large number of birthmarks and spots, and a malignant tumor. In addition, this procedure is not recommended during herpes (active stage), pregnancy and breastfeeding. Epilepsy should also be avoided by people with epilepsy and other diseases. Therefore, we are definitely interested in our patient’s health first, and then we start working.”
“Even though laser epilation is to the taste of many people from the point of view of beauty, sometimes we come across its negative aspects,” says Mrs. Nuriye: “For example, the skin of women with white and thin hairs may experience redness, peeling, etc. after epilation. can be. Sometimes pigment spots or swelling also appear after epilation. In this case, there is no need to consult a doctor. Usually they go away by themselves after a short time, without any treatment.”
“The first day after the procedure…”
The epilation master clarified what we should pay attention to after laser epilation: “You can’t go for a massage on the first day after the procedure. It is not recommended to go to the bath and sauna for a day or two. Because high temperature can irritate the skin. As a result of this, the skin may become infected. Also, tanning beds are likely to irritate the skin. Ladies who like their skin to be tanned should be patient for a day or two. It is also not good to take a very hot bath or shower on the first day of the procedure. It is better if they do not use scrubs, various oils, creams. I definitely want to mention one thing that wax and hair removal creams cannot be used to remove hairs after laser hair removal. These are contraindications.” Ms. Nuriya asked, “Is laser hair removal harmful to the skin or the body?” he answered “absolutely not”. He said that the skin cannot be damaged by epilation performed by a professional.
Let’s be careful in choosing energy according to skin type and color
Dermatologist Farhad Garayev also says that proper laser hair removal does not harm a person:
“It is necessary to be careful in the choice of energy according to the type and color of the skin. As the skin darkens, it is necessary to work with lower energy so as not to burn. The laser affects dark hairs, the effect on light colors decreases. Because the mechanism works not according to the hair itself, but according to its color. The darker the skin, the more energy it absorbs, and in this case, lower energy should be used. Sometimes there is a burn or depigmentation, but these are also temporary. In general, there is no harm in doing everything right. This is not a radioactive beam, but a laser, it does not harm the skin.” (“Kaspi” newspaper)
PS After listening to the epilation master and the doctor’s advice, we called several beauty salons in Baku for interest. None of them were interested in our health condition and immediately tried to schedule an appointment for the procedure.
