Features of laser hair removal

With laser hair removal, there are slight differences depending on the patient and site, but with 5 to 6 treatments every 2 months, almost no self-treatment is required. However, in places such as men’s beards where the hair quality is firm, the amount of hair is large, and the hair roots have strong momentum, it is necessary to treat the hair about every other month and repeat the treatment.
One treatment depends on the irradiation location, but in the case of the side, it takes about 5 minutes on each side. After the treatment, redness, swelling along the pores, and a tingling sensation may occur, but it is usually relieved by cooling after treatment or applying medicine.

The effect of laser hair removal treatment

There are various models, but the model used in this hospital can be finely set appropriately according to the patient’s skin color, hair quality, etc. Since it is equipped with a device that directly cools the irradiated area strongly, it is possible to relieve pain, protect the skin from heat, and treat safely without special anesthesia. Hair removal can be performed anywhere on the body.
Hair has a cycle of re-growth called the hair cycle. It is divided into a growth period, a catagen period, and a rest period, and hair removal can be effectively performed by shining a laser beam during the growth period when melanin is most present. Since each hair has a disjointed hair cycle, the degree of damage to the hair root differs depending on the hair. Therefore, we will aim for the overall effect by performing multiple treatments at different times.

How Laser Hair Removal Works

Do you think that once you receive treatment, you will never grow hair again?
Each hair has a different growth cycle (hair cycle), and the growth phase, catagen phase, and telogen phase are repeated.

• growth period

  The cells that make up the hair come into close contact with the hair, and the hair grows steadily while repeating cell division.

• Regression period

  The hair root is keratinized, the cells that make the hair are separated from the hair, and the growth has stopped. After this, it is until the hair comes off.

• rest period

  After the hair has fallen out, preparations for making hair again begin. Until the growth period again.

Hair removal is particularly effective for hair in the anagen phase.
During the anagen, the hair-forming cells are in close contact with the hair, so the ability of the laser to react to the black color can be used to destroy the hair and the hair-forming cells together. In catagen and telogen hair, the cells that make up the hair survive, and hair grows again.
The reason why the treatment is repeated in a cycle of about 2 months is to wait until the next stage of hair growth, and by repeated irradiation, many hairs become vaginal and gradually disappear. It will become.

Difference between laser hair removal and esthetic hair removal

Laser hair removal should only be done at a medical institution.
In the past, permanent hair removal using an electric needle was performed at an esthetic salon, but the treatment of each hair is very painful and inefficient, and it generally takes several years or more. was. In addition, since it is an act that damages the skin and involves risks, there are many troubles, and it is rarely done now. Currently, the mainstream of esthetic hair removal is photo-epilation, but even if you say “hair removal” in one bite, it is currently worth “hair loss” or “temporary hair removal”. Compared to laser, the selectivity for hair is low, and strong irradiation increases the risk and causes troubles such as burns, and weak irradiation is less effective, so it does not lead to permanent hair removal. The difference is especially noticeable in the beard of men with strong hair roots. Recognize that “hair loss” is essentially a medical practice, and choose a clinic where your doctor is responsible for your treatment.
