What are the lasers
There are two types of lasers suitable for epilation - Alexandrite and diode. For the speed of exposure, they are almost the same, only the diode laser has a wider range of exposure - they can be removed on dark skin with dark hair, and there is no on Alexandrite. Alexandrite laser works only on light skin with dark hair. We advise the diode laser - procedures on it are cheaper, they are less painful and faster.
On the device there is a special "ice" nozzle - it cools the skin at the outbreak. It will be a feeling that in the deep layers of the skin is hot, and on the surface, on the contrary, it is cold. The nozzle removes skin irritation due to the outflow of blood from its surface deep. During the procedure it seems that a small current current passes through the hairs - it will be slightly painful. If it hurts much, be sure to inform the master - it will reduce the power of the device.
Stages of hair removal and the duration of procedures
1-2 days before the procedure, you need to remove hair with a razor from the skin being processed. It is forbidden to use the electric razor, wax, tweezers and make shugaring. During laser epilation by a diode laser, the wizard will clean the skin with alcohol solution, will applies to it gel and only then starts to turn on the outbreaks. The procedure on the Alexandrite laser is carried out on dry, after processing with an antiseptic. The duration of the procedure in small zones like the armpits or upper lips - no more than 5 minutes, on the legs and bikini - 15-20 minutes. You will come to the second procedure after 3 weeks, on the third - after 1 month, on the fourth - after 1.5 months, and so on, until you delete all the hair. Usually requires 5-8 procedures to remove the hair. At the end of the course once every six months, you will need to come to the laser to maintain the result.
