All about final hair removal ... or almost!
The prospect of getting rid of hair once and for all makes you dream? Yes, but ... but laser hair removal is not that magical, among other things unknown. Fork & Bikini tells us everything you need to know to avoid unpleasant surprises before laser hair removal!
1. Laser hair removal is suitable for all skin types
Contrary to popular belief, laser hair removal can be performed on all skin colors, provided you use the right device: for dark skin, a special epilator suitable for pigmentation is essential.
2.But not at all the hairs!
On the other hand, the stress comes from the hair: the laser hair removal targets the pigments of the hair to destroy it at the root. Without pigments, no effect, and blond, white or red hairs can stay alive against the best of lasers. Needless to say, the fading is dropped.
3.The laser hair removal is not instant
If the hairs regrow finer and less numerous after the first laser hair removal, they still grow back. Count several sessions spread over a minimum of one year for a lasting result!
4.No sun before the session
Laser hair removal can not be performed on tanned skin, let alone on sunburn. Better to plan, therefore, and protect from the sun the area to be depilated during the month preceding the session, self-tanning and UV cabins included. The next week, too.
5. Laser hair removal banishes wax
It has been said, laser hair removal targets hair pigments at the root. No question of pulling the hair before, so! Waxing or epilating hair removes the follicle, and the laser has nothing to target, so you can skip the most durable hair removal methods for the duration of the treatment.
6.The razor is the friend of the laser
Razor side, on the other hand, no problem, on the contrary: it cuts the hair and clears the ground to boost the action of the laser. We shave the day before the session, otherwise the professional will give us a nice razor.
7. Laser hair removal is not painful
Not painful, but not really pleasant either: the effect is usually compared to a snap of elastic on the skin, or a tiny burn. Nothing unbearable, but you can imagine what give thirty minutes of snapping elastics.
8.It is expensive
The average price of a session is 100 €, less for the armpits, more for the half-legs ... a price to multiply by five, at least, the number of essential sessions to get a baby's skin. And no, the security does not support laser hair removal, unless rare medical condition.
9. Laser hair removal is a medical procedure
If pulsed light hair removal can be performed solo at home, laser hair removal is done in the office with a professional! The eyes must be protected, the power of the laser adjusted to each skin and a test is mandatory to avoid burns.
10.It's long
Not only several sessions are necessary, sometimes spread out over two years, but the session itself requires a certain time: twenty minutes to an hour, depending on the area to be depilated. Good news, we win in the bathroom the time we lose in the office!
