Hair removal - method of getting rid of the hair and, and the hair follicles.Unfortunately, there is no method that would guarantee complete freedom from unwanted hair for life. However, choosing the appropriate type and mode of procedure, it is possible to achieve good and lasting results.At present, the most common three types of procedures: electro-, photo-and laser hair removal. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.Electrolysis Electrolysis is used much longer than other methods. The bottom line is that with a special brand of hair applied electrical charge. He comes to bulbs, and it is destroyed.
Pros With this method, you can remove the hair of any color and texture of the skin of any color.
Cons Current should be held in every hair, so the process takes a long time. If you want to handle, for example, upper lip, where not a lot of hair, the time it takes not too much. But for hair removal legs have patience: take a few sessions. Because of this, the new hairs will grow unevenly.
Current injures not only the hair follicle and, but also their surrounding skin. Therefore, during the procedure we have to use pain-relieving gels or creams. And then - to impose on the treated surface preparations that relieve irritation and soothe the skin. Moreover, for any damage to the integrity of the skin increases the risk of infection. It is therefore very important to ensure that the master used disposable needles and work gloves.
The method requires a highly qualified specialist who performs the procedure. After all, just need to get electrical "needle" in each strand.Laser hair removal Laser hair removal is well proven in the past few years. Technology is as follows: in area of skin with hairs directed laser beam. The beam has special properties that allow it to "zero in" on target - melanin. This pigment is contained in dark hairs and provides them with. Melanin absorbs the energy of the laser beam that goes to the bulb and destroys it.
The actual procedure is as follows. You wear goggles, a physician prepares the skin for the procedure. Then, using a special attachment to the skin is directed laser beam. Impact comes with a few interruptions, so as not to overheat the skin.
Pros Procedure is virtually painless. The skin laser treatment is not damaged, so the risk of infection or scarring of practically excluded.
With the laser device can handle at a time larger surface, such as femur and tibia.Cons Since the main purpose of the laser - the pigment melanin, which requires good contrast of the skin and hair. After all, if the skin, hair and dark, the laser will affect all pigments immediately. Therefore ideal for laser hair removal - the dark hairs on very pale skin. The laser is not suited to those with lighter skin hair.
Photoepilation The method of hair removal is based on a combination of light and heat to the hair. The target of the light beam is a hair follicle itself - more precisely, its part of the sprout. Hair removal session looks like this: first you put on special goggles. The doctor treats the "goal" area with a special conductor gel, then it sends a pulse light to the skin. From the outside it looks like a bright flash.
Pros Procedure is virtually painless.

The method removes and vellus, and rigid hairs of any color.Cons Not suitable for those who have hair lighter than the skin. So, if you have dark skin and hair - blonde or gray, this method is you will not do.
When and how? Now try to figure out how best to organize the course of epilation in each case. It must be borne in mind that sometimes none of the types of hair removal can not give good results.
If you come to a procedure with a "fresh" tan. It is best to wait at least two weeks after the beach or tanning, and only then go for a session hair removal.

Electricity Electrolysis is practiced in the world for over sixty years and no restrictions on the color of their skin and hair. The meaning of the procedure to kill the hair follicle (follicle) current.
A thin needle is injected under the skin at the base of each hair on the depth of the follicle. Next comes the category, which is enough to destroy the sprout area. Of these follicles hair never grew up, but in compensation can wake up "dormant." Of these bulbs in a month will be fresh shoots, and have been working with her.
Electrolysis session lasts about fifteen minutes (correction of eyebrows, mustache removal) up to several hours (full legs). It all depends on the hairy parts of the body treated. On average, hair is removed 800-1200 per hour.

Laser Hair can be removed with a light beam of a certain wavelength - the laser. Beautician just drives the manipulator in the skin, from time to time giving the "light". The laser destroys the dark pigment melanin in the hair follicle and hair growth will stop automatically. He dies. The material is not affected.
This hair removal is suitable mostly ladies with dark hair. Do blondes and gray-haired in the follicles, there is little melanin: a laser on them will not work. Darkie and tanned, too, is to abandon this procedure: too much pigment. A laser - he is stupid, he does not care where melanin is destroyed: from hair or skin.
Beam processes at once one square centimeter (square tip), there are some bulbs that can remove hair faster and better than electrolysis.
