Many people consider laser hair removal when hair grows back quickly even after shaving. While there are various hair removal methods, including waxing and laser hair removal, many people consider laser hair removal because waxing can irritate the skin. I was curious about the effects of laser hair removal, so I searched about it.

Today, I will explain the principles and cycle of laser hair removal, the effects of laser hair removal, and post-hair removal care methods one by one!

1. Side effects of shaving and waxing

Shaving or waxing are common ways to maintain a clean, neat appearance. However, these methods tend to be short-lived and can cause skin problems.

 

1) Side effects of shaving

Shaving only removes hair on the surface of the skin, so the maintenance period is relatively short, and there is a possibility that the friction from the razor blade may cause cuts or rashes on the skin.

 

2) Side effects of waxing

Waxing can remove hair from the root, but it can also be very painful and damage the hair follicles, causing symptoms such as red spots or wounds.

2. Laser hair removal principle and cycle

1) Laser hair removal principle

Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin pigment in the hair, destroying the hair follicle and root. In other words, the laser is absorbed by the black melanin pigment in the hair follicle, converted into heat energy, and this heat energy destroys the hair follicle, preventing hair growth.

 

2) Laser hair removal cycle

The frequency and frequency of laser hair removal treatments vary from person to person. Depending on the condition of the hair roots and hair growth rate, a minimum of 10 to 15 treatments, spaced approximately 4 to 8 weeks apart, is recommended.

3. Laser hair removal effects

1) Semi-permanent hair removal effect

Laser hair removal is said to offer semi-permanent hair removal results. Repeated treatments reduce hair thickness and density, making semi-permanent hair removal possible.

 

2) Improvement of ingrown hair

Laser hair removal can also improve ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs are hairs that continue to grow beneath the skin's surface. They can be caused by things like poor shaving habits. Laser hair removal can provide some relief.

4. How to care for your hair after laser hair removal

They say aftercare is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of laser hair removal. Here are some tips for post-laser hair removal care.

 

1) UV protection

It is said that it is important to thoroughly apply sunscreen after hair removal because the laser hair removal process can cause certain damage to the skin, and the possibility of pigmentation increases when weakened skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays.

 

👉Check out the correct way to use sunscreen, as advised by experts.

 

2) Use moisturizer

It is also important to use a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated after the procedure, as it can dry out your skin.

 

👉Learn about low-irritation creams that help soothe and moisturize.

 

3) Refrain from strenuous exercise

It is recommended to refrain from strenuous exercise for about a week, and it is also recommended to avoid saunas and other places.

5. Laser hair removal 'Clarity II'

Clarity II claims to deliver precise laser treatments at twice the speed of conventional lasers. Its powerful cooling effect makes the treatment virtually painless, and because it selectively targets hair follicles, it minimizes damage to surrounding skin. Furthermore, because it's a non-contact laser device, treatment times are said to be short.

The price for the Maypure laser hair removal event is 6,000 won per session (for women's hair removal, underarms), and you can receive the treatment for 900 won (for women's hair removal, underarms) on your first visit.
