Removal of unwanted hair is one of the most requested procedures in beauty parlors. Photoepilation is performed by a device that is a source of high power light radiation. The method is based on the phenomenon of absorption of light energy by darker structures that are in the skin. This principle is based on hair removal, which contains a large amount of melanin, which will absorb the light beam, while destroying the hair follicle. The destruction itself will occur due to the increase in temperature that is formed during this process. In order for the surrounding tissues not to overheat, cooling systems are provided in the devices for photoepilation. They simultaneously provide tissue safety and have an analgesic effect.
The epilation procedure will be more effective in patients with a high content of melanin in the hair. To achieve a lasting result, the procedure should be carried out once every 2-3 weeks and the number of such procedures should be at least 4-5. This is due to the fact that the hair that we see on the surface is either in the anagenesis stage or in the catagenesis stage. However, do not forget that there is that part of the hair that is in the telogen stage. It is on these hairs that the therapy will be directed in subsequent sessions.
Attention contraindications to photoepilation! Despite the ease and effectiveness of the hair removal procedure, it is necessary to clearly remember all the contraindications that can harm the patient:
- acute and chronic skin diseases;
- herpes in the acute stage;
- a tendency to form wheel scars;
- malignant neoplasms of the skin;
- diabetes mellitus (compensated and decompensated stages);
- varicose veins in the treated area and thrombophlebitis;
- hypertension and coronary artery disease.
