There are likely many people who feel uncomfortable due to facial hair that grows back quickly even after shaving every day, or hair on areas like the underarms and arms that requires repeated maintenance. While shaving and waxing can remove hair immediately, they can irritate the skin. For this reason, many people have recently been looking into laser hair removal.

Today, for those looking into hair removal in Gangnam, I will summarize everything from the principles and features of laser hair removal to treatment intervals, recommended sessions, and precautions!

1. Principle of Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a laser to remove desired hair from specific areas of the skin. The principle is that the laser is absorbed by the black melanin pigment in the hair follicle, converted into thermal energy, and this thermal energy destroys the follicle, preventing body hair from growing back.

2. Features of Gangnam Laser Hair Removal

Maypure reportedly uses Clarity II for laser hair removal. The features of Clarity laser hair removal are said to be as follows.

 

1) Powerful cooling effect

It is said that there is almost no pain during the procedure because it has a built-in cooling system.

 

2) Minimize skin damage

It is said that because it selectively destroys only the hair follicles, there is minimal damage to the surrounding skin.

 

3) Short procedure time

It is said that you can get hair removal quickly because it is a non-contact laser device with a short treatment time.

3. What are the most sought-after areas for hair removal in Gangnam?

1) Men's Beard Removal

One of the areas frequently considered by those searching for hair removal in Gangnam is the beard. It is said that laser hair removal can be helpful if your skin becomes red from daily shaving or if you experience recurring folliculitis.

 

2) Underarm hair removal

The underarms are an area where laser energy can be absorbed well because the hair is relatively thick and dark. It is said that you can consider laser hair removal if you are concerned about hyperpigmentation caused by repeated shaving or waxing, or if shaving frequently is burdensome.

 

3) Arm and leg hair removal

Since the arms and legs cover a large area, it is advisable to check both the treatment scope and the duration. While areas with thick hair, such as the calves or shins, may show a relatively good response, it is said that the reaction may be more limited in areas with fine, light-colored hair, like the upper arms, compared to thicker hair.

 

4) Upper lip and facial hair removal

Repeated growth of thick, dark hair on the philtrum or chin can make the face look dull or cause makeup to look uneven. Laser hair removal can also be considered if you experience recurring skin irritation, redness, or folliculitis from frequent shaving or plucking.

4. Gangnam Laser Hair Removal, Is One Session Enough?

Laser hair removal generally requires multiple sessions. The treatment cycle and recommended number of sessions are as follows.

 

- Treatment cycle: 4-8 week intervals

- Recommended frequency: 10-15 times or more

5. Precautions After Hair Removal in Gangnam

It is said that it is important to follow the precautions below immediately after laser hair removal.

 

1) Use plenty of moisturizer

Your skin may temporarily feel dry or itchy after the procedure. It is recommended to apply a gentle moisturizer to prevent the skin from drying out.

2) Protect from UV rays

It is said that it is important to apply sunscreen thoroughly after laser hair removal, as exposure to sunlight after the procedure can increase the risk of hyperpigmentation.

 

👉 Check information on sun care products used in dermatology clinics

 

3) Avoid hot environments and strong stimuli

It is recommended to avoid activities that raise skin temperature, such as saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise, immediately after the procedure. Additionally, it is said to be helpful to refrain from using scrubs or peels until the skin has calmed down.

6. Q&A

1) Do I need to shave before the laser hair removal treatment?

Shaving the day before the procedure is mandatory. If your hair is thick and grows quickly, shaving on the day of the procedure is recommended; if your hair is thin, shaving the day before is recommended.

 

2) How much does laser hair removal cost?

The event price for Maypure laser hair removal is 6,000 won per session for women (underarms/philtrum/between eyebrows) and 15,000 won per session for men (underarms/philtrum). The first-visit event price is 900 won per session for women (underarms/philtrum/between eyebrows) and 1,900 won per session for men (philtrum/between eyebrows).
