If you decide to approach the problem of hair removal fundamentally, then it is worth taking advantage of the latest revolutionary advance in this area. The specialists of the "Sun Shine" salon know the secret of beautiful skin, and modern laser technologies, in particular, SHR hair removal, help them in this.
Many people have an ambiguous attitude to the use of a laser, dictated to a greater extent by banal ignorance. The expert opinion of a professional, cosmetologist of the Sun Shine salon will help to dispel all doubts.
- What is SHR hair removal?
- Today, laser hair removal is the most popular and effective way to remove hair, because it allows you to forget about the annoying frequent shaving, the problem of ingrown hairs, irritation and other "delights" of traditional methods. The newest clinically tested system is SHR (Super Hair Removal). It makes it possible to get rid of unwanted hair from any part of the body without any side effects and discomfort. It is based on a principle that is fundamentally different from the work of past systems.
- What is the difference between SHR hair removal from other methods, what is its advantage?
- The main advantage is that SHR technology combines low energy, high frequency light pulses with radio frequency waves. The light waves produced in a single pulse target only the hair follicles. After the temperature has reached a certain value, the device switches to radio frequency waves. This makes it easy to endure the procedure without pain and sad consequences.
Other systems use short pulses and higher power waves. They act not only on the hair, but also heat the skin, damaging it. This causes pain and burns.
Thanks to innovative technology, the range of services provided has significantly expanded. It is effective for dark skin, successfully used to remove light, gray and even vellus hair from any part of the body, unlike other systems that only allow you to get rid of dark hair. At the same time, the skin does not overheat, burns, redness and swelling are excluded. The result is visible after the first session.
- Let's go directly to the procedure itself. The first thing to find out: are there any contraindications?
- Yes there is. Contraindications include oncology, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, coronary heart disease, acute herpes, varicose veins, pregnancy, lactation, open lesions in the area of application. In any case, before the procedure, a consultation with a cosmetologist is required.
- Another very delicate question: is it possible to carry out the procedure during the "critical days"?
- According to medical indications, menstruation is not a contraindication for SHR hair removal. But during menstruation and some time before it, sensitivity increases. For a more comfortable passage of the procedure, it is better to plan it on the 6-10th day of the cycle.
- What do you need to know before epilation and how to prepare for it?
- The most successful time is considered to be the period of low solar activity from September to April.
The hair should be about 1 millimeter long. To do this, 12 hours before the time of the procedure, you need to shave off all the vegetation in the areas that will be processed.
Everyone should consciously approach the main recommendations:
- It is not recommended to sunbathe or use a self-tanner 2-3 weeks before the planned hair removal.
- For 2 weeks, antibiotics of the tetracycline group and fluoroquinolone should not be taken.
- Do not apply cosmetics containing alcohol (deodorants, lotions, tonics) per day.
- For 10 days, exclude any methods of depilation, except shaving.
- What can you say about rehabilitation after hair removal?
- For each client, an appropriate mode is selected, taking into account the skin phototype and hair color. The action of the laser is directed directly at the follicle, and the skin is not exposed to aggressive effects. Therefore, the rehabilitation period is minimized. It is enough to apply a regenerating cream containing panthenol.
You also need to follow the basic recommendations:
- for a while, give up tanning in a solarium and in direct sunlight;
- limit the reception of hot baths, visits to the sauna, bathhouse, swimming pool;
- for several days it will be necessary to avoid mechanical irritation of the area where the hair removal was carried out;
- regardless of the season, you need to use SPF products with a protection factor of 30+ and higher.
- What are the main stages of laser hair removal?
- A special hypoallergenic gel is applied to the pre-shaved area, which is a contact conductor. It improves the conductivity of laser beams, ensures perfect glide, and makes the procedure more comfortable. Then the device manipulates the skin, equipped with a cooling system. Each stage is strictly controlled by a cosmetologist. The duration of the procedure depends on the area to be treated. The goal of our specialists is a quality result after the first session, not speed. Therefore, all manipulations are carried out especially carefully, taking into account the individual characteristics of the client. Once completed, the gel is rinsed off and a soothing cream is applied.
- How many procedures are needed to get the desired effect?
- After the first procedure, approximately 30-40% of the hair is removed. A repeated session is recommended to be done in 3-4 weeks, the subsequent ones - with an interval of 4 to 8 weeks. This is due to the fact that with each further procedure, hair is removed more effectively in the late phase of its growth. After the third procedure, intensive hair growth is usually activated, which is also associated with the natural cycle of hair change.
To get the desired result, it is recommended to complete the full course, consisting of 6-8 sessions, maintaining a well-defined interval between them. The amount depends on the individual.
- Epilation is direct contact with the skin and intimate area. What methods do you use to rule out possible bacterial and fungal infections?
- Disinfection is very important in the work of a beautician. Since laser hair removal is a contact method, it is paramount for the safety of clients. In "Sun Shine" they responsibly approach the sanitization of cosmetic equipment after the procedure and before starting it according to the available recommendations. The manipula of the apparatus is cleaned with a special disinfectant approved for use. We only use disposable consumables. The cosmetologist is obliged to wear a gauze bandage during the session and work in disposable gloves. A prerequisite for the staff is the presence of sanitary books and regular medical examination.
- Now about myths and reality. Is it true that laser hair removal is painful and that it can permanently solve the problem of unwanted hair?
- It is a misconception that SHR hair removal is very painful. On the contrary, thanks to modern technologies and the use of a sapphire tip with a cooling system, as well as short but frequent impulses, it does not cause discomfort and pain.
The widespread claim that laser hair removal can permanently remove hair is not true. SHR hair removal gives a lasting result - hair does not grow for 5-6 years. But for this you need to carry out a supporting procedure once every 7-12 months. This is especially true for men who are genetically predisposed to dense vegetation on the body.
- There is a well-established opinion that the desire to get rid of unwanted hair using advanced methods will result in a tidy sum. Is it so?
- When setting prices, we are guided by the principle of loyalty. At the same time, we do not save on impulses, disinfection, and consumables. Lamps that have exhausted their resource are immediately replaced. The salon specialists have been doing laser hair removal since 2009 and the quality of the services provided has always been their main priority.
Permanent promotions are a pleasant bonus for our clients.
We hope that the procedure is no longer a cause for concern. Give it a try and make sure SHR hair removal is perfect, safe and effective.
