The pros and cons of laser hair removal

Effective, inexpensive laser hair removal is a progressive technique for removing unwanted hairs using innovative equipment that converts a light source into a laser beam of a certain length and power.

Our Cosmetology Center in Kyiv uses an advanced diode laser, capable of setting the laser at different wavelengths and getting rid of not only unnecessary hair, but also coping with the consequences of acne, rosacea, and age spots. When carrying out epilation, a powerful light flux has a direct effect on the follicles without affecting neighboring tissues. The beam reacts exclusively to the dark pigment of the hair (melanin), so at the end of the procedure there are no scars left, and local destruction of the follicles ensures that hair will stop growing in the future.

Today, laser hair removal with a diode laser is a worthy competitor to all alternative methods of procedure, but given the short period of active use of the technique, there are many myths and mistrust in this method. Let's try to understand all the pros and cons, and let's start with the cons.

Possible negative manifestations:

1. The main danger is getting burned. There are many reasons for this, but the main one is related to the unprofessional laser hair removal procedure. This can be eliminated by conducting sessions exclusively in cosmetology salons, where all equipment has been certified, cosmetologists have not only solid experience, but also a high qualification level;
2. Given that the beam reacts to melanin, the sessions will not benefit people with dark skin. The laser pulse energy will simply dissipate across the skin without reaching its intended target. The ideal option is the presence of dark hairs on white skin. Accordingly, laser hair removal is not indicated for colorless vellus hairs;
3. local tissue swelling and skin hyperpigmentation. These manifestations are temporary and pass quickly. It is enough to avoid contact with direct sunlight immediately after the manipulations, plus use a healing cream to relieve redness and swelling;
4. possible manifestation of urticaria or exacerbation of herpes. If you have a history of herpetic infection, then before laser hair removal (diode, alexandrite), you need to take a preventive course of antiherpetic drugs;
5. development of folliculitis. The phenomenon is quite rare and occurs in people with weakened immune systems;
6. the disadvantages include the need for a mandatory course session, given that the productivity of the technique increases when exposed to laser beams hairs are in the growth stage.

By and large, all these negative aspects, as reviews show, do not have catastrophic manifestations, and with skillful preparation, a positive attitude and a professionally performed procedure, they will not appear. It is important to choose the right place for hair removal. Trust exclusively professionals in their field.
