Epilation on the face

Excessive facial hair looks extremely unaesthetic and causes a lot of trouble for most of the female population. The main reasons for this unpleasant phenomenon are natural age changes and hormonal disruptions. Consider the most popular methods of getting rid of hair both in a beauty salon and at home.

Laser facial hair removal

Laser hair removal has become a real breakthrough in the field of hardware cosmetology - one of the most effective ways to remove unwanted vegetation from the chin, cheeks, upper lip and eyebrows. Its main advantages:

• reliability;
• efficiency;
• painlessness;
• instant and long-term results.

The principle of operation of the laser device is based on intense heating effects. Light energy is converted into heat energy, due to which the destruction of the hair follicle occurs. In this case, laser beams destroy only the hair itself, leaving no marks on the surrounding skin, which avoids the appearance of pain. The patient will feel only a slight tingling sensation, which is why the procedure is considered the safest and most comfortable.

It should be remembered that the effect of exposure to rays extends only to those hairs that are in the phase of active growth. Therefore, to completely get rid of the hated "antennae" will take from 3 to 5 sessions. And in order to avoid the consequences - the appearance of age spots and freckles, immediately after the procedure, limit the time spent in the open rays of the sun.

Elos facial hair removal

The essence of the method of using elos-epilation is the combined effect of electrical and optical energy.

The main stages of the procedure:

1. Preparation. It implies the consultation of specialists, mainly an endocrinologist and mammologist. And also two weeks before hair removal, it is worth excluding visits to the solarium and long exposure to the sun.
2. A dermatologist, using a special apparatus, treats areas of the skin with light flashes.
3. The rays act on the hair follicles and destroy them, while the skin does not suffer from the emission of light energy.

The duration of one session can take from 10 minutes to an hour, depending on the treated area of ​​the skin. After its completion, the specialist applies a special preparation with an anti-inflammatory effect.

Conducting 5-8 sessions of Elos-epilation guarantees the removal of unwanted vegetation for up to 5 years.

Facial waxing

To use the waxing method (waxing) is within the power of every woman. But despite the availability and tradition of this method, in order to avoid burns and irritation, it is better to entrust the care of the most delicate skin areas to a professional cosmetologist.

Waxing allows you to keep the skin flawlessly smooth for 1-2 weeks and consists of several stages:

1. The specialist selects the type of wax based on the characteristics of the client's skin. This will avoid discomfort.
2. The area to be treated is disinfected with an alcohol-based lotion.
3. The wax, heated to 60 degrees, is applied using a special spatula. Paper or fabric strips are tightly applied on top.
4. Then the free part of the strip is torn off with a sharp movement against the growth of the hair.
5. The remaining wax is removed with a swab soaked in moisturizing oil.
6. An antibacterial cream is applied.
