Recipes of hair removal

For a long time was the most radical and effective method of getting rid of excess hair in just a few sessions. But, the procedure is rather lengthy and painful. The essence is as follows: a specialist with a disposable needle (now mostly using gold needles) should get into the follicle of each hair and hit the growth zone with an electric current. If the hit is correct, the hair will disappear forever.

Mostly used on small areas of the body, such as face and bikini. Processing large areas long and painful. Previously, anesthesia was used with a 2% solution of novocaine, but then a side effect of anesthesia was identified. In many patients, hair growth in the affected area was stimulated. Therefore, anesthesia had to be abandoned.

The cycle of hair growth consists of 3 phases: the actual phase of growth, the "falling asleep" of the follicle, hair loss. Completely destroy the follicle is possible only during the first phase. If the effect occurs in the second and third phases, the hair will grow again. Nevertheless, electroepilation is quite popular and today is represented in three ways: thermolysis, electrolysis and their combined effects.

Thermolysis


Destruction of the follicle occurs under the influence of an alternating current of high frequency, i.e. Thermally. In many salons this method is used, although it is very risky. A mistake made by a doctor can lead to irreversible changes in the skin. For today in many countries of the world thermolysis is prohibited in private practice.

Electrolysis

The effect on the hair growth zone is carried out by galvanic current, which passes through the tissue between the two electrodes. During the chemical reaction that occurs on the negative electrode of the needle, hydroxyl is released from the water ions, which destroys the follicle. This method uses a multi-needle device that reduces the risk of scarring. Electrolysis is less painful in comparison with thermolysis, but takes quite a long time.

Combined

Combines these two procedures, but is more effective. Microcurrents cause thermal destruction of the follicle, and galvanic currents give local anesthesia and prevent the development of inflammatory processes after the procedure. Thanks to this technique, pain is reduced by 80 - 85%. Especially shown for the removal of gray and very light hair.

Those who decided on such executions, it is necessary to know about the existing time-bound electroprocedures. It is associated with their increased effect on the electrical axis of the body. One session should not exceed 20 minutes. As a result, the time of epilation of the legs can stretch for several days and even weeks. A consequence of this is the zone unevenness of hair germination ("chess grid").

Contraindications

Propensity to form keloid scars.
Hypersensitivity of the skin, inflammatory skin disease in the area of ​​hair removal.
Systemic skin diseases, such as psoriasis, eczema, etc.
Pregnancy.
Age to 17 years.
Presence of an artificial pacemaker.
By the decision of a specialist, electrolysis can be chosen as the main procedure, and auxiliary to another method of hair removal. According to the Moscow Clinic of Laser Medicine, the basic electrolysis costs 2 cu. Per minute of the pulse, an auxiliary one is 1 cu Per minute of impulse, the price of a disposable needle is 2 cu. On the apparatus Super - Blend Sequential (Germany).

Light
Laser Hair Removal


Recently, the laser has very rapidly burst into our lives and has been used in many fields of medicine. Very actively began to be used in cosmetology. At first, and this was a low-energy laser, it was mainly used to remove birthmarks and tattoos. During these procedures, active hair loss from the treated surface was noticed, which subsequently led to the idea of ​​using it in hair removal.

But laser hair removal has a significant disadvantage, because the light beam acts only at a certain wavelength - 690 nanometers. Therefore, the laser can only remove black hair on the white skin. When trying to remove light or dark hair on tanned skin, burns immediately occur.

If the hair is very hard, then the laser will simply burn them without touching the follicles. When the energy flow increases, burns and pigmentation appear. The laser perfectly copes with gun hair on the lip, forearms, buttocks and therefore is most effectively used in these areas.

Epilation is carried out by alexandrite, diode, ruby, niodim laser. Especially recommended ruby, with his help effectively remove hair in the armpits.

Hair falls out during the procedure, i.e. The result is achieved immediately. After 3 - 4 sessions, all the hair on the treated body surface is brought into one stage of development. Consequently, in subsequent procedures, more follicles are affected and this further enhances efficacy. Hair growth slows down 2 - 3 times. In one session, no more than 1000 sq. M. Cm body surface area.

The only negative phenomenon is reddening of the skin. Part of the energy is absorbed by it. A mild burn usually passes through a couple of hours. At many in 10 days the effect of false hair growth can be observed, when the burnt roots are pushed outwards. They should be removed using tweezers. Therefore, if you are going on vacation, then laser hair removal should be done two weeks before departure.

The duration of the effect of laser hair removal is individual for each person and depends on many factors, such as predisposition to hair growth, their type, density, etc. On average, it can be 4 to 5 months. It is important that the hair again grows thinner, they are 50 - 60% smaller and they are much lighter, unobtrusive. For example, sometimes a complete victory over hairy arms and legs will require up to 10 visits to the clinic.

Contraindications:

Systemic skin diseases.
Decompensated forms of diabetes mellitus.
Age to 17 years.
Pregnancy.
Recommendations passed procedure:

Undesirable - stay in the sun, tan (natural and artificial) for the first three days after the procedure.
Before going out to the street, apply a sunscreen with a filter of at least 30 on the treated skin areas.
During the first three days, limit water procedures (sauna, sauna, swimming pool).
The cost of laser hair removal in the Moscow Clinic of Laser Medicine: arms, legs - 0.1 cu For a square centimeter, the bikini zone is 2.5 cu. For a square centimeter.

Photoepilation

Most recently, a new device has appeared, working directly with several light beams, ranging from 590 to 1200 nanometers. The hair follicle collapses, folds like a protein, as a result of the thermal effect produced by the light absorbed by the melanin of the hair. Light flashes affect just a few bulbs.

The procedure is much faster than laser hair removal. In this case, outbreaks do not cross, the skin is not injured, and burns do not occur on it, the pain is almost not felt.

The most important advantage is that you can remove hair of any color and structure on all skin types and on any part of the body. The exception is only very light and gray hair.

It is no accident that this technique has found wide application in intimate epilation, because This zone is referred to as "shock" because of the significant location of pain receptors in it. Thanks to photoepilation today you can create mind-blowing hairstyles, which you could not even dream about earlier.

Especially this technique can help women with endocrine disorders, which show excessive hair growth, especially on the face. Already after 3 - 4 sessions, the remaining hair becomes gun and barely noticeable.

Before photoepilation, the dermatologist studies the skin type, hair color, collects detailed information about the patient's health and enters all the information into the computer's database. In turn, the computer itself selects the optimal mode, and with such accuracy that the same person in different parts of the body processing parameters will differ according to his individual characteristics. One session allows painless and non-contact removal of hair from the entire body, with the maximum result. The device is equipped with a tip made of rock crystal.

Before the procedure, a transparent cooling gel is applied to the body. It takes on the heat energy released by the light flash, and excludes the possibility of burns. The computer itself is looking for hairs on the body, so those places where they are absent are not processed. After the procedure, apply a protective spray or cream on the skin. A few days you need to carefully handle the sun and use sunscreen.

There are no contraindications, except for common ones - cold, herpes, inflammatory processes, skin diseases, pregnancy after 3 months, period of lactation.

New means of hair removal.

The search for new tools and epilation programs continues. The subject of these searches is concentrated in the field of affordable price, low morbidity and visible efficacy. The three methods listed below illustrate the continuation of such studies.

Ultrasonic Hair Removal

This name does not accurately reflect the essence of the procedure, since it is based on wax depilation. By its name, the technique owes its second part, when after waxing the surface of the skin is treated with special compounds, the molecules and ions of which are then ultrasonically delivered to the deep dermal layers. Here they inhibit (slow down) the process of fission of germ cells and even partially break the hair follicle due to alkaline pH.

The ultrasonic method of removing unwanted hair can be very effective when a particular hair device has a high sensitivity to these inhibitors. The first qualitative changes are usually observed about twelve months after the start of the procedures.

Enzyme epilation

This method is based on the use of drugs that include enzymes (papain, trypsin, chemotripsin). The essence of it is that the enzymes act on the follicular apparatus of the hair, destroying it. The process proceeds gradually, because the enzymes can not destroy the structure of the follicle at once. That is why the enzyme method also presupposes a certain course, after which, as the method distributors believe, the result can be sustained.

In order for the active substances to act as efficiently as possible, special thermobondals are applied to the treated areas, and the procedure is influenced by infrared heat.

The enzyme method suggests that wax depilation should be used as the final stage here. Except for the discomfort associated with it, the enzyme technique, as completely painless, is primarily addressed to those who do not accept hair removal using needles. It should also be taken into account that this method is suitable for a limited number of people due to the use of chemical agents.

Non-laser photoepilation

This type of light epilation uses a source of nonmonochromatic light, which provides a special long-pulse broadband lamp. Light pulses are generated in a wide spectrum - from 500 to 1200 nm, overlapping the region of strong uptake by melanin. Unlike lasers, the lamp projects a rectangle on the skin with an area of ​​up to 4.5 square meters. See The light flux of 35-55 J / cm.sup.2 is provided in single series up to five consecutive pulses of 2-5 ms duration. The effect is due to photothermal death of the follicle.

Other regenerative local changes, characteristic for laser hair removal, were not detected. When applied in the zone - bikini and on the upper lip, in rare cases, there is a moderate soreness at the time of the light flare. Side effects can occur in the form of edema of the skin and the violation of pigmentation in the area of ​​hair removal.

Those who do suffer from increased hairiness should contact the endocrinologist, take tests and start medical treatment. A specialist doctor, based on the results of the hormonal background, national characteristics, will individually select the set of necessary procedures.

As you can see, the most effective methods are laser and photoepilation, in order to once and for all do away with this problem. The only and most important of them is the high cost. Undoubtedly, the very idea of ​​going to the clinic and for several procedures to get rid of unnecessary hairiness is very attractive. But, many people can not afford it today. Therefore, in my opinion, there is always a golden mean.

Take and combine the most suitable methods for epilation and depilation according to your material abilities. When you calculate the preliminary costs, note that the final cost of inefficient methods can be much more expensive than expensive and takes more time, or it can bring more suffering or complications. Do not forget, miser pays twice. The most important choice still remains for you. I made mine, and you?
