PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL

PRINCIPLE OF PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL :

A laser is a very high beam of light that destroys a specific target. In this case, the target of hair removal lasers is the melanin (colour) of the hair.

 

The laser beam passes through the skin until it “meets” melanin particles, which it breaks up. This explains why the laser only destroys the hair without damaging other skin structures. In view of this principle: The laser will only destroy pigmented hair. White hairs are totally “invisible” to laser radiation. Blond hair does not have enough melanin.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE SESSION :

The hair will need to be cut or shaved, not removed from the treated areas. Hairs should not be plucked, indeed the absence of the root makes the treatment ineffective. The surface to be depilated will be exposed to the laser light.

 

The operator moves the beam over the skin and the duration of the session depends on the area to be depilated. The operator and the patient wear protective glasses. The sensation for the patient can be unpleasant. Nevertheless, if necessary, for certain sensitive areas, it will be possible to apply an anaesthetic cream (two hours before the session).

WHAT IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL?

• Intense pulsed light, a technique used mainly by beauticians. This technique consists of removing hair by sending beams of light of varying intensity, which are absorbed by the hair bulb. Pulsed light used in hair removal consists of several wavelengths and a rather broad, not very targeted light field. The heat generated by this technique is the only thing in common with the laser, as it destroys the hair at its root. However, this technique offers results that are very variable and take longer to achieve, depending on the quality of the material used, but also and above all on the patient’s phototype and the colour of his or her hair. The ideal patient is one with fair skin and very pigmented hair. If the difference in pigmentation of the skin and the hair is less contrasted, this technique does not enable quality results to be achieved, since the hair is not recognised by the light beam.


• The laser is a technique reserved for trained doctors. Laser hair removal is considered to be a medical procedure, and as such can only be carried out by dermatologists or cosmetic doctors trained in this technique Unlike pulsed light, it is suitable for all skin phototypes and hair colours. The laser is characterised by a light beam composed of specific wavelengths programmed according to the colour of the hair to be treated. The light beam is narrower, allowing better targeting of the hair bulbs This guarantees more effective and above all lasting results.


Your ASCLEPIOS clinic is equipped with the most efficient hair removal laser on the market, the SOPRANO TITANIUM platform from ALMA LASERS combining 3 laser wavelengths, effective on all phototypes from I to VI and on tanned skin.

DOWNTIME :

You do not need to avoid social activities, however, it would be wise to avoid sports, saunas and Turkish baths for a few days. The depilated areas must not be exposed to the sun for a week.

PERMANENT HAIR REMOVAL

AFTER EFFECTS :

There may be some redness which will disappear within a few hours. Exceptionally, swelling of the depilated areas may persist for one or two days. After the sessions, although the hair is treated, it will not fall out immediately. On removal, the impression is that of a “false regrowth”. The first two sessions will be spaced one month apart, subsequent sessions will be spaced two months apart (depending on the areas).

 

Undesirable effects, although an exception, may occur: scars, hyper-pigmentation, hypo-pigmentation. Usually, these effects are related to non-compliance with the contraindications.

Frequently asked questions about permanent hair removal

On pigmented skin, a test before doing a full treatment may be advisable.

The aim is to destroy the hair or reduce it to a minimum (into an invisible down). It is commonly accepted that the number of sessions required and the persistence of depilation are linked to various factors, including the age of the patient, the areas treated, the quality of the laser technology, the rigour of the therapeutic procedure and the compliance with the spacing of the sessions.
