Do not come if you have
- Pregnancy: Pregnant women are generally advised to avoid laser hair removal, especially in the abdominal and pelvic areas, as it may pose a potential risk to the fetus. It is also not recommended for a nursing mother.
- Tanning: Laser hair removal is usually less effective and carries a higher risk of complications in people whose skin has been exposed to the sun recently or has tanned. Before the procedure, it is recommended to avoid being in the sun and tanning in a solarium, as well as self-tanning products.
- Recent waxing or plucking: The hair follicle must still be present for the laser to target effectively. Therefore, recent waxing, plucking or hair removal creams may interfere with the procedure.
- Certain skin conditions: People with active skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or an active infection in the treatment area may need to delay laser hair removal until the skin has healed.
- Use of photosensitizing drugs: Some drugs can increase sensitivity to light and can cause side effects in laser procedures. It is important to inform the practitioner about all medications you are taking.
- Keloids: People with a history of keloids may be at higher risk of developing keloids as a result of the laser procedure, especially if the procedure is performed in areas where keloids are likely to form.
- Certain medical conditions: People with certain medical conditions, such as epilepsy, may need to consult with their healthcare provider before undergoing laser hair removal.
- Presence of tattoos: Laser hair removal can cause tattoos to fade or change color in the treated area. Before the procedure, it is important to discuss the location of the tattoos with the practitioner.
- Hormonal changes: Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) can cause hormonal imbalances, affecting hair growth. In such cases, the underlying hormonal problem may need to be addressed for optimal results.
- Skin type and hair color: Laser hair removal is generally most effective on people with lighter skin and darker hair. People with darker skin or light, blonde or gray hair may not have as good results.
- Retinoids : Use of retinoid medications such as tretinoin or isotretinoin can increase skin sensitivity. In general, it is recommended to stop using retinoids for a period of time before laser hair removal to reduce the risk of side effects.
How laser epilation works and preparation for the procedure
Laser hair removal with the Biotec Italia Supreme machine is a convenient and effective method to achieve long-term hair removal. This innovative technology uses laser beam energy to selectively target and damage hair follicles, preventing their ability to produce new hair.
The process begins with the radiation of a concentrated beam of laser beam from the device. This light, which is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair, turns into heat. The heat is then transferred to the hair follicle where it damages the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.
One of the key features of our laser hair removal is the ability to deliver precise and controlled pulses of laser energy. This ensures a smooth and even gradual heating of the target area, maximizing effectiveness and minimizing potential side effects.
When the hair follicles absorb the laser energy, they undergo a process of photothermolysis. This process weakens the follicles, preventing them from producing new hair. Over the course of several sessions, the hair in the treated area becomes finer and lighter, and in many cases it stops completely regenerating.
The Biotec Italia Supreme system is designed to be versatile and adaptable, suitable for different skin types and hair colors. It also includes cooling systems to increase patient comfort during the procedure by effectively cooling the skin surface.
It is important to note that 5-10 sessions approximately 4 weeks apart are usually required for optimal results. This approach removes hair in different growth cycles, ensuring thorough and long-lasting hair removal. The result of the procedure is a reduction in hair growth up to 80-95%, the remaining hairs are softer and thinner.
It is also necessary to properly prepare for the procedure. All zones to be treated must be carefully and efficiently shaved. Before coming to the salon, please keep the area clean and do not use products such as deodorant creams, etc. In addition, it is important to follow the post-procedure care instructions to ensure the procedure is safe and effective.
