The advantages of laser hair removal and various precautionsSummer is coming, and the enemies of short-sleeved skirts are coming, that is, armpit hair, leg hair, etc. The growth cycle of hair can be divided into three phases, namely growth phase, mature phase, and telogen phase. The laser can effectively destroy the hair follicles of the hair in the growing phase, hindering and stopping the growth of the hair. Laser hair removal is permanent hair removal. The specific intense pulsed light can penetrate the epidermis to the root of the hair follicle, so that the temperature of the hair root is rapidly increased, and the hair root is heated and solidified without affecting the secretion of sweat glands, thus achieving the purpose of permanent laser hair removal. The process of laser hair removal is simple, fast, and generally leaves no scars after the treatment.

Precautions before laser hair removal

1. Before laser hair removal, clean and disinfect the area to be removed. Some women use beeswax for hair removal at home. At this time, it is best to use a small amount of talcum powder to absorb the oil on the skin surface to enhance the adhesion of the wax; in addition, because the capillaries and nerves are concentrated in the hair root, it is easy to cause pain when pulling the hair. .

2. Before laser hair removal, wrap ice cubes with a towel and apply cold compresses to the hair removal site to reduce pain. It is not advisable to use too much force when removing hair, otherwise it will irritate the skin and aggravate the pain.

3. After laser hair removal, it should be disinfected with alcohol, and some anti-inflammatory ointment should be applied to the hair removal site to avoid folliculitis. Doctors do not advocate cutting armpit hair with scissors or shaving axillary hair with a razor blade, because doing so is very easy to injure and cause bacterial infection in the armpit area, which not only causes local pain and discomfort, but also easily causes symptoms such as swollen lymph nodes.

Precautions after laser hair removal

1. Please avoid sun exposure for 3 months to half a year after treatment, and apply sunscreen lotion as directed by your doctor to the affected area to reduce sunlight exposure.

2. After treatment, there may be slight redness and swelling, sensitive skin and hot or itchy feeling. If you feel pain, apply ice compress to relieve the pain.

3. Avoid hot water scalding and scrubbing of the treatment area.
