Comparison of hair removal methods
Razor: The most convenient, and economical but temporary solution, is shaving. All we obviously need is a shaving cream and a razor of our choice. However, it requires more maintenance than other options as it lasts the least amount of time.
Shaving sensitive areas, such as the bikini line or underarms, can cause painful irritation. Effect duration time: 2-3 days.
Wax: This waxing completely removes hair follicles only by using hot wax on strips of special paper. After waxing, our skin is smoother for a longer period of time than with shaving. Therefore, it requires less maintenance and there is less irritation in sensitive areas.
However, we must be aware that waxing is a painful way of hair removal that few people can tolerate. Result duration time: 2-3 weeks.
Hair Removal Cream: An easy option is hair removal cream, which has been quite popular since it first appeared on the market. These products remove hair because they contain chemicals that break down the disulfide bonds of the hair, weakening them so much that we can wipe or wash the hair off our skin.
However, the biggest concern with these treatments is that applying chemicals to our skin can cause severe irritation, especially when left longer than the recommended time. Effect duration time: 2-7 days.
Alexandrite laser hair removal: It is the most famous, beloved, effective and most importantly, permanent aesthetic procedure for the treatment of unwanted hair. All other hair removal methods offer only temporary results at a recurring cost to us. The results through the Alexandrite laser are evident already after the first session. The hair growth will be less and less, thinner and thinner.
The skin will become smoother and pores will become less visible after each session. Effect duration time: for ever!
COMPARISON OF DIODE LASER WITH ALEXANDRITE LASER
Myths and Truths
Myth
Home hair removal devices are just as effective as the Alexandrite laser.
Truth
Home hair removal devices can in no way compare to the Alexandrite laser. They are not completely safe and can cause skin irritations and even burns. Essentially, they remove hair with the photolysis (IPL) method.
Myth
Alexandrite laser hair removal treatment is very expensive.
Truth
The price of a laser hair removal session starts from 15 euros and you can expect about 4 - 8 sessions on average to get rid of unwanted hair for good. However, if you take into account the cost of traditional hair removal methods (razors, etc.), but also the cost of dealing with the irritations that result from them (e.g. folliculitis, etc.), it is clear that overall they far exceed the cost of laser hair removal, as these are methods that require frequent reapplications for a lifetime.
Myth
The treatment is not indicated for men.
Truth
Most men, especially in the past, considered it taboo to shave the whole body. However, we can see that nowadays many men wish to have a waxed body, mainly for aesthetic reasons. Thus, this procedure should not only be considered a female affair but also a male affair.
Myth
Laser hair removal treatment has side effects.
Truth
Alexandrite laser hair removal is a completely safe treatment, as the light beam focuses only on the hair and not on the skin. The laser allows the treatment to be personalized according to the phototype of each skin and the hairiness of each individual. When the procedure is performed by an experienced practitioner, there is no risk of side effects (e.g. burns to the area).
Myth
In the summer it is not allowed to undergo laser hair removal treatment.
Truth
Over the years, the myth that laser skin treatments should not be performed during the summer months has become commonly accepted as fact. It is time to dispel this myth and truly understand why laser treatment is a safe bet, even during the summer months. Laser hair removal can therefore be performed but there are a few limitations to keep in mind. One common question relates to the safety of sun exposure after treatment. For example, the skin should not be red and sunburned and you should be prepared to avoid exposure to the sun for a period of time after the treatment. So limit direct exposure to the sun for two weeks after the procedure as your skin is still sensitive to heat.
Prolonged UV rays exposed to 'fresh' laser hair treatment can be harmful to the skin. In general, this means that you can certainly get laser hair removal during the summer, but on the other hand do your best to avoid sun exposure. Of course, the best way to prevent sun damage and the appearance of fine lines is to use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF 30 on a daily basis. Conclusion: You don't have to wait until winter to get laser treatments for your skin. With the right precautions and an experienced specialist, you can enjoy the benefits of laser treatments this summer and enjoy a healthy glow for months to come. It all depends on protecting your skin and following the advice of the experts.
