If there's something that annoys women a lot, it's wearing a skirt in a hurry, tapping your leg and remembering that you forgot to remove those unwanted hairs. For those who choose to shave, life is like that. Periodically, one has to surrender to the blade or the care of a good epilator to keep the leg, armpits, fluff and groin always smooth.
But for those who can't take it anymore having to worry about it, a good option is to appeal for permanent hair removal. Then there is no way, the sessions are expensive and offer no guarantee that the hair will never come back. What to do then?
Many women are choosing to have permanent hair removal for themselves at home using commercially available appliances and techniques.
This may be a more economical idea, but you need to pay attention to the cautions and risks involved in making this decision with awareness.
? Importantly, home appliances do not have the same power as professionals. In an ideal situation of white skin with black hair, home waxing can work. In other situations, it is necessary to evaluate and follow up with a professional, since it is a risky procedure ?, ponders Adriana Benito, Dermatologist of Pro-Aesthetic Body.
Thus, the best option is to go to a dermatologist consultation before doing any procedure independently. This is also the most suitable professional to help you choose the technique that is right for you. Meet the two best known:
1. Laser
How it works? Beams of light are fired at the skin, definitely destroying the root of the hair. Carolina Chimatti, BIOSET's Dermatofunctional Physiotherapy specialist, explains that the laser is monochrome and more focused.
Strengths: Fast result, need fewer sessions.
Negative points: Causes more pain, can only be used on low phototypes (lighter skin).
2. Pulsed light
How it works? It is emitted and filtered by a device until it is directed to the target to be treated (hair, spots and even vessels), explains Adriana. By penetrating the skin, light is attracted to the pigment and releases heat. Localized heating causes the total or partial destruction of the hair.
Strengths: Most modern technique, practically painless and applicable to any phototype (any skin tone).
Negative points: It takes two or three more sessions to achieve the same laser results.
Care to be taken
If after consulting the dermatologist, your choice is permanent hair removal at home, Carolina warns of some key points to consider:
- Before you buy, make sure your chosen device is registered with Anvisa;
- Check light power and contraindications;
- Do not apply the product on tanned skin;
- Do not use the product if you are taking photosensitizing medications;
- Do not apply the product several times in the same place to avoid burns. Respect the recommended interval between applications.
In addition, it is very important to check all application instructions in the instrument manual for the procedure to be performed safely and effectively. Remember too: no technique is miraculous. Avoid creating unrealistic expectations about the outcome, as it does not appear immediately, but throughout sessions. And consult your dermatologist before beginning any permanent hair removal procedure, either at home or at beauty centers.
