Effect after the first laser hair removal

Hair removal with laser hair removal has many benefits. After several sessions, hair growth stops. A ray aimed at the hair follicle destroys it, as a result of which it slows down, and in the future, the growth of hairs stops altogether.

The described method of hair removal is the safest and most painless among other salon procedures. In addition to removing hair from the treated area, the laser helps to solve many other problems:

• removes age spots;
• removes asterisks;
• creates a rejuvenating effect on the skin.

To obtain the desired result, it is necessary to carry out several procedures. Experts explain this by the fact that the beam affects only those hairs that are currently actively growing. After completing a course of about 9 procedures, it will be possible to deal with unwanted vegetation forget forever.

After the first procedure, some girls notice increased hair growth. This is because the laser, in addition to removing actively growing hair, activates the work of dormant hair follicles. In the next sessions, newly grown hairs are easily removed.

Skin after the first hair removal

After the procedure, you may notice redness on the skin, which can persist for up to two days. Experts advise using sprays that have anti-inflammatory effects after hair removal.

In the first days after the session, the skin forces the hairs out. This continues for 7-14 days. Subsequently, this stops and the hair falls out on its own. To avoid complications, you must follow some recommendations:

• do not use various cosmetic preparations in the first days after hair removal: tonal creams, deodorants;
• do not visit the sauna and bathhouse for several weeks after the procedure;
• do not use tanning products between treatments;
• do not use other types of hair removal between sessions.
