Many clients of modern beauty salons know that laser hair removal is one of the safest, painless and practical ways to remove unwanted hair from any area of the body. But even the widespread popularity of the technique cannot become an obstacle for the mass of various conjectures and rumors surrounding it.
We will give examples of five statements-questions that are most often heard by the master from new guests, and we will try to prove them wrong.
MYTH #1: LASER CAN PROVOKE THE DEVELOPMENT OF ONCOLOGY
Of course, this is not true! Rays created by modern laser epilation devices (we use the Lumenis LightSheer Quattro Diode Laser ( 2022)) affect only the melanin contained in the hair follicles. They penetrate the skin only a few millimeters (to the depth of the bulb) and do not affect the surrounding tissues in any way. Moreover, they cannot cause the development of oncological and other health-threatening problems.
4U Body&Skin uses the most modern equipment from the world’s leading manufacturers. There are all the necessary certificates, permits, no harm is done to the client’s health.
MYTH #2: LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS PAINFUL
Depilation with the help of wax, sugaring, electric epilator is much more painful. True, when using an alexandrite laser, some clients really note some discomfort due to the burning of hairs that remain on the surface of the skin. In the case of a diode laser (the same equipment is used in the 4U Body&Skin ), the procedure is performed on a smooth body without bristles. You will feel a tolerable tingling and warmth, cooling in the working areas of the device provides pain relief. This is explained by the fact that all modern laser hair removal devices (which you can see for yourself in our salon) additionally cool the treated areas to reduce pain effects.
If pain is felt in the most sensitive areas (usually the bikini area, armpits), the master can additionally anesthetize them with an anesthetic – lidocaine gel.
MYTH #3: BURNS REMAIN AFTER LASER EPILATION
The use of an alexandrite laser can cause burns due to the burning of hairs on the surface of the skin. A diode laser in the skillful hands of a specialist does not cause burns. Its energy is directed at melanin and hemoglobin in the hair follicles. Under the influence of temperature, the follicles (only they – the surrounding tissues are not affected) die. After a few weeks, the hair falls out on its own and stops growing.
4U Body&Skin employees have extensive work experience. They adjust the equipment for each client individually, indicating the phototype of the skin, other features, they do not perform the procedure on a tanned body. Skin that does not contain pigment cannot be affected.
MYTH #4: LASER HAIR REMOVAL IS ONLY FOR GIRLS
Absolutely unfounded statement. Recently, an increasing number of men are convinced by their own experience that having a beautiful, perfectly smooth body without excess vegetation, which traps sweat and is often the cause of unpleasant odors, is right! They choose a laser for this, because the method:
- less painful than alternative methods of hair removal;
- safe – does not cause burns, oncological consequences;
- long-lasting – the effect lasts for many years.
In the 4U Body&Skin , many male clients, who know firsthand what laser hair removal is, have convinced themselves of its simplicity, practicality and necessity.
MYTH #5: HAIR REMOVAL IS MUCH CHEAP FOR THE COST
In a professional salon, the procedure of superficial short-term hair removal without destroying the follicles (this is depilation, while laser epilation is the complete elimination of the hair follicle) is almost similar in price to a laser session. But it is worth considering that for flawless skin smoothness you will have to sign up for sugaring or waxing regularly (at least once every 3 weeks). And after the laser course, the client only needs to undergo preventive procedures 1-2 times a year. The benefit is obvious!
In the 4U Body&Skin , there is always a large selection of discounts, interesting price offers, which allow you to join the fans of this procedure even more profitably and simply.
Specialists of the 4U Body&Skin chain of salons know everything about laser hair removal and are ready to share this knowledge with you. Come, we are always happy to have guests!
