End of spring and summer – it is the season of swimsuits, skirts and dresses. It is at this time that the legs, arms, stomach, bikini area and other attractive parts of the body open up to the sun. Therefore, it is very important that everything is perfect there, without extra hairs. To remove unwanted vegetation, many girls use razors, epilators and creams. But the most effective and painless technology is laser hair removal. More recently, such a procedure was contraindicated in the summer, since it often left burns behind. But recently, beauty salons and cosmetology clinics have been using a new, safer technology. Like any event to remove excess vegetation, laser hair removal has its own characteristics and nuances. We will talk about them today in the article of the Internet edition estet-portal.com.
How does laser hair removal work in the summer
Laser hair removal – a procedure that not only removes hair, but solves the problem of excess vegetation once and for all. How does it work? It's very simple: under the influence of laser radiation, the hair follicle absorbs its energy.
The higher the concentration of melanin in the hair, the more effective laser hair removal.
When a laser pulse passes through a hair, it damages both the hair itself, which is a conductor, and its bulb. And as a result, the hair follicle dies, and the hair falls out without receiving nourishment.
Advantages and disadvantages of laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is good because it allows you to quickly achieve the desired result. It is quite possible to get rid of unwanted vegetation forever in one course. Other benefits of this procedure include:
• Excellent results on any skin type – laser hair removal works equally well on both light and dark skin.
• Minor soreness – during laser manipulations, only a slight tingling sensation may appear on the treated area.
• High security – due to the absorption of beam energy by melanoma, the risk of getting burned, as well as getting scars and other side effects, is minimized.

• Fast processing – epilation allows you to process 10 square centimeters in just a few minutes. Therefore, it is suitable for those people whose day is scheduled literally by the hour.• Sustainable effect – acting directly on the hair follicle, the laser beam completely destroys it, without the possibility of recovery.
• Skin improvement – after the hair stops growing, the dermis is visibly smoothed, thickened and rejuvenated.
And laser hair removal has practically no restrictions on its implementation. Such a procedure can be performed not only in summer, but all year round.
Laser hair removal has its drawbacks: • In order to completely remove body hair, it is necessary to carry out more than 10 sessions. After all, a laser pulse kills only regrown hair, skipping the bulbs that are still in the so-called "hibernation". In order to destroy those follicles, you must wait until they wake up and crawl out. Then the procedure must be repeated.
• Do not remove hairs that have already grown between sessions. Such prohibition leads to the fact that there is a feeling of discomfort from the fact that there are
unwanted hair on the body. • Expensiveness – The session itself is not expensive. But to achieve the desired effect, it is necessary to go through a whole range of procedures. And as a result, the total amount may not be affordable for everyone.
• an infectious or chronic skin disease;
• hormonal disorders;
• diseases of internal organs and hematopoietic system;
• pregnancy.
To successfully perform laser hair removal, it is necessary to prepare very carefully for the procedure. In the summer, preparing for such an event is special. It includes the following:
• 2 weeks before the session, do not expose the areas to be treated to sunburn. Use sunscreen before going outside. Also forget about the solarium for a while.
• Stop using antibiotics for 2 weeks. They can cause burns or pigmentation.
• For 2-3 weeks, do not pull out the hair with wax, tweezers or an epilator, as the bulbs can be damaged. It is only allowed to use a razor or a special cream.
• For 3 days, do not apply to the treated area those products that contain alcohol in their composition. In other words, don't use alcohol-based body lotion and antiperspirant.
• Do not lighten the hair in the areas where the laser treatment will be carried out for a few days.
• Before the procedure, shave the hair where the laser hair removal will be performed.
During the procedure, the specialist may suggest that you treat delicate areas of the skin with an anesthetic if you have a low pain threshold. The epilation itself takes a few minutes. After that, you can safely return to your daily life. But at the same time, you can’t sunbathe for 1 week.
To achieve the maximum effect, one session of laser hair removal is not enough. You may need several treatments. How much depends on skin color, hair structure and color, as well as hormonal levels. In general, one course is 6-10 procedures. And the total period of the entire complex is usually 1 year, or even more. But it's worth it. Already after 3-4 sessions, the hairs become sparse, thinner and lighter. And after a while, they stop growing altogether. As a result, the skin becomes smooth and silky.
