How to prepare for laser hair removal ?

Before starting the laser epilation procedure it is necessary to prepare for it. At least one month before the scheduled date of the treatment you should resign from waxing, depilation or hair-raising with tweezers. During this time you can only use a razor. Hair should be shaved the day before the treatment and the skin cannot be tanned. It is extremely important that you stop using photosensitizers about a month before laser hair removal, otherwise the patient is at risk of an allergic reaction and burn. Laser epilation is not performed in people with multiple pigmented lesions or pregnant women. Patients suffering from any chronic disease require medical consultation. The skin after laser hair removal should be protected from the sun. Immediately after epilation, a slight redness of the skin is most often observed, combined with swelling around exposed hair follicles lasting about 30 minutes. Detailed information about the treatment is discussed during direct consultation.

4 weeks prior to the laser hair removal treatment session, do not use any creams or ointments with vitamin A, vitamin C, fruit acids and retinoids in the area you want to treat. 1 week prior to the laser hair removal treatment session, stop using photosensitive (phototoxic, photoallergenic) and herbal medicines (St. John’s wort, marigold).

1 week prior to the laser hair removal procedure, discontinue the use of cosmetic products with peeling properties (e.g. peeling/scraping)

1 week before laser hair removal, if necessary, cosmetic products can be used to hydrate the skin because the treated skin surface cannot be dry or irritated.

1 day before the treatment session, shave your hair thoroughly with a razor and leave a small piece of hair unshaven. This unshaved area will undergo a “Patch Test” to assess the color and thickness of the hair by a laser therapist. On the day of the treatment session, the skin should be washed but creams, lotions and deodorants should be avoided.

Note: Laser hair removal procedures in the bikini area are not carried out during the menstrual period. In addition, increased soreness usually occurs with treatments carried out just before the scheduled menstrual period.

 

Laser hair removal – the course of treatment

How does laser hair removal work ? Laser hair removal in PRIVE Gdansk uses the thermal effect that is created when a light beam of a certain length is absorbed by a suitable dye (chromophore). This effect could be compared to the heating of dark objects in the sun. The resulting thermal energy can selectively destroy structures (e.g. hair follicles) containing the target chromophore. The described phenomenon is called photothermolysis. The cyclic course of hair growth is extremely important for Gdansk laser hair removal. The full cycle consists of phases: active growth phase so called anagen, regression phase so called catagen and rest phase called telogen. In anagen that lasts from 2-6 years, hair growth is made to length. At the end of this phase, the activity of the cells responsible for hair growth is reduced and the catagen begins, lasting from 2 to 4 weeks, during which the hair’s germ cells evolve. During the three to four months of telogenesis, the old hair falls out, while new germ cells appear, giving the new hair a percentile. This hair successively enters the anagen phase again.
