Laser hair removal

The meaning of laser hair removal lies in the fact that the laser beam has a destructive effect on the follicle... The bulb contains a cell with a pigment (melanin), which, by absorbing it, heats up and destroys the neighboring cells of the matrix (the growth zone of the hair) and the vessels that nourish the hair follicle. After a few weeks, hair with a dead root will fall out.

The effect is short in duration and fast in cooling, which guarantees painlessness of the procedure. A clear advantage of the laser technique is the ability, face and armpits . It is very likely that your hair will be permanently removed. And the disadvantages are in the limitation with light skin and hair and of course the high cost of the service. This is explained by the area of \u200b\u200bthe epilated zone, the amount of hair and the structure (hard and dark more expensive).

Contraindications to the procedure:

• Pregnancy;
• Acute herpes in the epilation area;
• Dark skin color;
• Recent sunburn;
• Acute viral diseases;
• Diabetes;
• Light, red and gray hair will not have the effect of epilation.

Benefits

• Harmlessness;
• High performance;
• No scarring or irritation;
• The ability to conduct a session at any time of the year;
• Does not injure the skin;
• Safety;
• Painlessness;
• The comfort of the procedure.

Photoepilation

The hair is treated with short flashes of light. The method is similar to the laser method, with the only difference in the effect on a large area and a beam of light, which has different physical properties. This activity is completely painless, suitable for all areas. But with photoepilation, the coefficient of removed hair is less than with laser, which entails an increase in the number of sessions.

Before performing the session, an anesthetic gel is applied to the epilated areas (about an hour). The client and the technician then wear retinal goggles. When epilating, the master guides the skin with a device attached to a laser or photoepilator. After regular intervals, flashes of light are produced, affecting the hair. And after each of the manipulations, a special gas is supplied to the skin to cool the skin. This prevents the formation of burns, pigmentation of the skin and the appearance of scars. At the end of the procedure, a special cream is applied to soothe the skin. The master gives advice and time for the next procedure.
For the final removal of unnecessary hair, it will take 3 to 7 procedures. With the help of a photoepilation session, you can get rid of any hair, except gray and very light hair, since there is no melanin in them.

During the month it is not allowed to sunbathe, going outside in sunny weather, apply sunscreen (SPF30). Also, 10 days after the procedure, you can not visit the sauna, take a bath and hot shower. Limit yourself to sports.

Ultrasonic hair removal

A new and quite effective procedure for removing unnecessary vegetation. This method applies additionally to. It removes vegetation using ultrasound and a special gel. Before the start of the "event", depilation is carried out, then the desired area of \u200b\u200bthe skin is lubricated with gel and the ultrasound apparatus the skin surface is processed with ultrasound. During the procedure, the gel molecules penetrate deep into the skin and inhibit the division of new cells. Hair follicles, which are in the active stage of growth, die off in the first session, and the rest - in subsequent procedures. The total procedure time can be about one hour.

To obtain a good result, the procedure must be repeated once a month, about 6-10 times. A qualitative result will appear approximately one year after the first senas. If you continue to carry out supporting sessions a couple of times a year, then the effect will last for life.

Benefits

• Any hair is processed, even those with which other types of hair removal cannot cope (light, dark, gray, downy, thin);
• Relatively low cost of the event;
• Painlessness;
• The ability to get rid of unwanted vegetation even, eyelids, ears and nose.

Contraindications

• Individual intolerance
• Pregnancy
• It is not recommended to process the bikini area

A significant disadvantage of ultrasonic hair removal is that along with the germ cells of the hair, cells of other tissues are also destroyed.

First, a few words about professional hair removal. Any photo and laser effect on the skin, according to the nomenclature of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, is considered a medical service and can be provided either in clinics or in salons that have an appropriate license. “The devices used by specialists have powerful output parameters that can be adjusted based on the individual parameters of a person: phototype, color, hair thickness, depth of its occurrence, skin thickness in the treated areas,” says Natalia Grigorieva, a cosmetologist, beauty expert, managing partner of the network of clinics "Premium Estix" and "Epilike." same as professional. Otherwise, manufacturers would not have been able to obtain the certificate of conformity required for sale. " How do home gadgets differ from professional counterparts?

Hair removal at home: laser

Course of procedures: every 3-4 weeks for 1 year.

Duration of one procedure (legs + armpits + area bikini): 1-1.5 hours.

Suitable :

Doesn't fit:

Hair removal devices of this type work by using the energy of a laser, which heats up the follicle. This leads to its destruction and ultimately to its destruction. As a result, the bulb stops producing hair. At the same time, the skin is not injured, which means there is no irritation or redness. Most laser hair removal machines are equipped with a scan function: the hairs that need to be removed, they will find themselves.

Expert opinion:

“Manufacturers of devices for home hair removal think, first of all, about safety - after all, during the operation of the device there will not be a doctor nearby,” says Natalia Grigorieva. - Therefore, the parameters are very different from professional ones.

The most modern medical laser for hair removal - Diode Light Sheer DUET, allows you to get rid of 85-90% of body hair in a few sessions. The power of a home hair removal device is hundreds of times lower, so it is hardly worth counting on such a result. The maximum effect that can be achieved with constant use is that the hair will become thinner, lighter and slower to grow. That's probably all. "

Hair removal at home: photoepilation

Course of procedures: every 2 weeks for 8-12 months.

50 minutes - 1 hour.

Suitable: to remove unwanted hair on the face and body.

Doesn't fit : for tanned and dark skin, as well as for the removal of light, vellus and red hair.

The action of the device for photoepilation is based on the method of hair removal with intense pulsed light (Intensed Pulsed Light - IPL technology). Getting rid of unwanted vegetation occurs due to the accumulation of light energy by the dark pigment of the hair, melanin, in the hair follicles, as a result of which the follicle is destroyed. Precisely because melanin accumulates energy, photoepilation is most effective for dark hair and practically useless if the hair is light.

Expert opinion:

“There is not a single scientific publication that would prove the effectiveness of even professional photoepilation for permanent hair removal,” says Natalia Grigorieva. - In Europe and the USA, this type of hair removal has not been used in clinics for a long time. We offer it everywhere, because the devices are cheap. Why can't you remove hair completely even on a professional device? Photoepilators use broadband light, the power of which is sufficient to injure the follicle, but not completely destroy it. As a result, hair grows “diseased” - discolored, thin. But after the end of the course in a year and a half, they "come to their senses", recover, restore pigment and thickness. For home devices, the manufacturer often limits the duration of action for safety reasons. For example, you can use the device for 20 minutes, and then it turns off for several hours, and it will be possible to continue the procedure only after a break. This is done in order to limit light flashes, which reduces the risk of burns if the gadget is misused. As you now understand, it is hardly possible to say goodbye to unwanted vegetation with the help of home photoepilation. The potential of a household appliance is, at best, only enough to damage a hair follicle. "

Hair removal at home: ELOS

Course of procedures: once a week for 1.5 months + 1 supporting procedure per month.

Duration of one procedure (legs + armpits + bikini area): 30 minutes.

Suitable: to remove unwanted hair, both on the body and on the face; for tanned and dark skin, as well as for light, vellus and red hair.

ELOS technology combines the energy of RF (Radio Frequency) exposure and the energy of light radiation, IPL (Intense Pulsed Ligth). When exposed to IPL, as we already know, a flash is sent to the skin, the energy of which accumulates in the bulb, stopping its activity. RF is a range of electromagnetic radio frequency radiation that acts on the follicle with thermal energy, which causes hair to stop growing. The combination of IPL and RF treatment destroys the hair follicle more effectively than the IPL technology used in conventional photoepilators alone. Weaker light energy reduces the likelihood of side effects, allowing you to safely target dark or tanned skin. Combining the two types of energy in ELOS hair removal reduces the IPL power by up to 60%, so the device is suitable for all skin types and hairs of any color. According to the manufacturer, after about 6-7 home ELOS hair removal procedures, the amount of unwanted hair is reduced by 97%.

Expert opinion:

“Professional devices use synergy (combination) of two energies: either photo + radio waves, or photo + laser,” says Natalia Grigoriea. - In the first case, the effectiveness of the procedure will be comparable to photoepilation. In the second option, when the photo is combined with a laser, the effectiveness will depend on the quality of the laser energy used in the apparatus. If it is a diode laser, then after 10-12 procedures you can count on permanent hair removal. A household appliance combines photo and radio energy. Accordingly, its effectiveness is comparable to that of a home photoepilator. The duration of the epilation course is also doubtful - 6-7 weeks. This is unlikely to be true. Even with professional hair removal, it will take much longer. Because you can remove only those hairs that are in the growth phase, and this is no more than 15-25%. Some follicles are destroyed, but other lots of hair grow, which will have to be removed in subsequent procedures. Thus, it is impossible to completely get rid of unwanted vegetation in 7 weeks. "

What is the conclusion from all that has been said? Various devices for hair removal at home can damage the follicle, make the hair on the face and body lighter and thinner, but to gain absolute smoothness of the skin, and even in a short time, they are unlikely to help.

In the field of personal care there are truly inexhaustible topics that are constantly discussed, but do not lose their sharpness. Among them are excess weight, the pros and cons of sun exposure and, of course, getting rid of unwanted hair. And on the eve of the holiday season, talking about hair removal is more than appropriate.

But let's make a reservation right away: despite the tempting promises that are pouring down on us from all sides, scientists have not proved the likelihood that hair will disappear forever. You can significantly slow down hair growth, achieve that some areas of the skin really become smooth, but you should not expect complete disposal of vegetation - this is nothing more than an advertising gimmick.

Varieties of hardware hair removal methods

Let's talk about hardware techniques and, according to the principle of seniority, let's start with electrolysis - after all, this method is more than 100 years old. There are several varieties of this technology.

Thermolysis , in which a high-frequency current is used, differs in that hair removal occurs in 2 seconds and in one session 30% of the required amount of hair can be eliminated. But at the same time, thermolysis is powerless against hairs with curved roots, in addition, the procedure is very painful and often fraught with burns.

Electrolysis - another type of electrolysis - uses a low voltage direct current. Electrolysis is effective, but laborious, the session lasts a very long time. Therefore, it is recommended for very small amounts of hair. After the procedure, redness is possible, and the process itself is painful.

The third method is called flew (flash) and uses a pulse that is thousandths of a second long. Flash is not as painful as the previous two methods, but unpleasant sensations are present anyway. In general, the tolerance of electrolysis primarily depends on the pain threshold of a particular person.

Another technique is called b lend , it is a combination of thermolysis and electrolysis. Hair removal lasts up to 10 seconds and pain is minimal.

There are also p incolor epilation , in which hair is removed using high-frequency current and tweezers electrode. This is a painless method, it does not leave burns, but its disadvantage is that the bulb is destroyed only partially - for its complete removal, at least 8 procedures must be carried out. The method is shown for sensitive areas.

And finally scan processing ... Drugs that reduce hair growth are injected into the hair canals, and they enter the root due to the action of the current. Hair becomes thinner, some disappear completely. But this method cannot be called a full-fledged epilation.

Electrolysis needles
As for the needles for electrolysis, there are three types of needles - insulated needle, medical and gold. The choice should be entrusted to a specialist who will determine the degree of sensitivity and condition of the skin and, accordingly, the optimal tool.

It is impossible to predict how many procedures will be required to achieve the desired result. In any case, this is a rather time-consuming method. Much depends on skin color and hair characteristics, but the main thing is that the technique is suitable for all hair types. After the first procedure, two thirds of the removed hair grows, after a month the procedure is repeated, and only one third of the removed hair grows. To get rid of all hair, you will need at least 10 courses, consisting of several procedures, between which different time intervals will be assigned. Obviously, this method can in no way be characterized as express. In addition, after the procedures, traces remain on the skin for some time, so it is not suitable for everyone as a remedy before a vacation.

Contraindications
Electrolysis cannot be performed in case of cancer, pregnancy, varicose veins, diabetes, those who have a pacemaker and those who suffer from poor blood clotting. It is also contraindicated if there are purulent inflammations or even ordinary skin irritations in the treated area.

PHOTOEPILATION

The method appeared more than 10 years ago and immediately gained many admirers. The principle of the method is based on the use of pulsed light that penetrates the skin at different depths. The bulbs accumulate the thermal energy of the beam and are destroyed. At the same time, the epidermis is not damaged, thanks to the cooling system in the device and a filter that cuts off the ultraviolet part of the light spectrum.

Now experts use advanced third generation epilators. This is an important point because the old-fashioned technique often left burns and scars on the skin. The latest generation of photoepilators produce a continuous pulse that heats the hair up to 70 degrees, so the procedure is less painful. (You can remember that earlier the temperature reached 140 degrees).

Who is photoepilation suitable for?
Photoepilation is suitable for all areas, even the most sensitive, but this method is only suitable for dark hair. No system based on light exposure will be able to remove blonde, red or gray hair, since there is no melanin in them, which absorbs the light pulse that destroys the hair structure.

Preparation for the procedure
It must be remembered that you need to prepare for photoepilation in advance. It is advisable not to sunbathe for a month, because more procedures will be needed for tanned skin. You won't have to sunbathe even two weeks after the session. Also, for two weeks, you cannot take drugs that increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight, namely, tetracycline antibiotics and sulfonamides. Hair length should be 1-3 mm. When preparing for photo epilation, it is best to remove hair with a razor, as this will make it harder and easier to remove.

Before the procedure, you need to give the specialist a detailed report on your health, on the body's reaction to medications and exposure to sunlight. Photoepilation is called a painless procedure, but this is not entirely true, because the hair and the skin adjacent to it heats up significantly. Many people experience unpleasant or even painful sensations, especially when treating sensitive areas. Local anesthesia can be applied at the request of the client.

Required number of procedures to achieve a sustainable result depends on the area of \u200b\u200binfluence and the amount of hair. The amplitude is wide - someone will need 5 procedures, and someone will need 12. The intervals between sessions are 4-6 weeks. The area of \u200b\u200beffect of the photoepilator is large enough, and both large and small areas of the skin can be treated. The remaining single hairs will fall out within 10-14 days after the procedure. And hair grows on different parts of the skin at different rates: on the face - an average of a month, on the legs - up to two.

Side effects
Sometimes, within 24 hours after the procedure, the skin turns red and swells, a cooling gel can handle this. Less common, but still there is darkening of the skin or. Owners of very dark skin may encounter this. This problem usually goes away after a few months. But all who have undergone the procedure, when exposed to the sun, must use a protective cream with a factor of at least 40, although in general it is not recommended to be in the active sun for a month or a month and a half.

Contraindicationsare: psoriasis, eczema, diabetes, varicose veins, hypertension, coronary heart disease, pregnancy, lactation, keloid scars, acute herpes, infectious diseases, allergy to light, malignant skin tumors, age up to 18 years.

LASER EPILATION

Laser hair removal is no less popular, although its main drawback is the same as that of photoepilation - it is not suitable. She is also powerless in front of vellus and gray hair.

The laser beam is directed into the hair root, which burns the bulb. There are several rays: ruby, alexandrite, diode, neodymium, and aluminum garnet. They are used for different skin types.

Preparation for the procedure
The hairs before the procedure should be 1-2 mm. You should not use wax or tweezers when preparing for laser hair removal, you need to shave your hair. You must not sunbathe for at least two weeks before and after the session. In addition to antibiotics and sulfonamides, as before photoepilation, you cannot take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, diuretics, iron and magnesium preparations, and antidepressants for two weeks.

First, a test is performed - possible complications include the appearance of bubbles or crusts on the skin. If there is no undesirable effect, epilation can be done in an hour. During the procedure, many people note a moderate burning sensation, but the pain sensations, as in all other cases, are individual. You cannot call this type of hair removal completely painless, as advertisements do. After the procedure, the treated areas often become swollen, they must be treated with soothing creams and cooled with ice bandages.

Side effects
It happens that after the first procedure, the effect is not observed. All hair can be removed only by X-ray radiation, which is fraught with skin atrophy, dermatitis, or even skin cancer. Therefore, you have to act slowly and gradually. Most of the bulbs are located in the dermis, where the beam penetrates. But they can also be located in the subcutaneous fatty tissue, where the laser does not reach. Such hair will have to be removed in other ways.

But more often, after the first procedure, hair growth slows down. The number of procedures is individual, but not less than 3. Much depends on the amount of male sex hormones androgens. If the level is normal, up to a maximum of 8 treatments will help keep the skin smooth for two years. The interval between procedures is 1-3 months. Residual hairs will fall out within one to two weeks. The full course will be at least six months. Among the undoubted advantages of all light methods is that after the procedures there is no such thing as after bioepilation.

Contraindications
Pregnancy and lactation, diabetes, acute infectious and chronic diseases during an exacerbation, dark skin, allergy to light, diseases of the cardiovascular system, oncological diseases, varicose veins.

QOOL EPILATION

Recently, a new method of laser hair removal has appeared - QOOL. Manufacturers claim that its main difference is selectivity - the effect occurs only on the hair, but not on the skin, so you can not be afraid of age spots and darkening of the skin. Equipment manufacturers claim that this is the least painful method and is therefore preferred for sensitive areas. The skin temperature remains unchanged - 36.6 o C. During the procedure, only a tingling sensation is felt at the site of hair growth. Another important characteristic of the method is that it is suitable for all skin types and hair colors, in addition, it can be applied on tanned skin, after or before sunbathing and tanning beds. The QOOL laser hair removal method, thanks to mechanical vibrations at the molecular level, destroys the hair formation center without risk to the skin.

Preparation for the procedure
The optimal hair length is 1 mm; before the procedure, the hair must be shaved and grown to this length. Do not use creams because the skin must be dry. It will take at least 5 procedures. Usually three sessions are scheduled at intervals of two weeks, then visits are made as needed.

Contraindications the same as for conventional laser hair removal.

There is another method - elos, which appeared as a result of a combination of electric and photo epilation. This technology destroys hair by exposing it to light energy and high-frequency currents. The advantages of elos-epilation are that it copes with any hair, regardless of their color, in addition, you can sunbathe after the procedure, so the method is quite suitable for the holiday season. It is believed that this epilation is less painful than electro and less likely to leave marks and redness on the skin.

Preparation for the procedure the same as in the case of photo and laser hair removal - shave and grow hair up to 1 mm. Hair will disappear one week after the procedure. You cannot sunbathe only during the first day. Then you can, but with a cream with a high protective factor. Rare hairs may grow back after the procedure, they must be removed with a cream or a machine.

If you use tweezers or an electric epilator, the effectiveness of the procedure may decrease later.

Required number of procedures
Usually, sessions are held once a month and a half. Dark hair is easier to epilate due to the presence of pigment. It will take more time to get rid of light hair, but usually at least 5-7 sessions are required. The longest struggle is with the hair on the upper lip and bikini area.

Contraindications
Pregnancy, lactation, hyperthermia, oncological diseases, diabetes, severe diseases of internal organs, lupus erythematosus, epilepsy, poor blood coagulability, reduced immunity, allergy to light, herpes and other viral diseases, keloid scars, the presence of metal implants or a pacemaker, taking tetracycline antibiotics groups. Also, you cannot carry out the procedure on strongly tanned skin and after procedures for rejuvenating the skin of the face.

Diode laser with a wavelength of 808 nm for the removal of pigmented hair on skin of any degree of pigmentation. The use of laser energy to destroy the growth zone will be effective only in the anagen phase, when there is an active differentiation of cells in the growth zone.

Indications:

• Permanent removal of pigmented hair of any color on the skin of any degree of pigmentation.
• Light and red hair after a trial procedure in a separate area due to the difficulty of removal.

Advantages of the Italian CAPELLO apparatus

• The minimum number of procedures is 6-10, for everyone individually!
• Hair growth has 4 phases, these are 4 procedures that need to be done on any professional laser machine. On our device, due to its high power - 2000 W (for comparison, in other devices the power is from 500 to 1000 watts), during these 4 procedures, we will remove more hair than on any other. For the remaining 2-4 procedures, we collect the rest of the awakened hair, respectively, using other equipment, you will do it in 5-8 procedures. Thus, the amount will be higher and more time is spent!
• The density of the energy flow makes it possible to carry out the procedure painlessly!
• Also, the painlessness, comfort and efficiency of the procedure are ensured by the presence of a modern cooling system. The sapphire crystal in contact with the skin is cooled down to -5 degrees in the process.
• The energy storage technology used all over the world is the gradual heating of the hair follicle (and the dermis next to it), resulting in its destruction. In this case, damage to the surrounding tissue does not occur, in contrast to systems that use a powerful flash.
• In-Motion technology - quickly and evenly distributes the pulse energy over the treatment area. Thus, the procedure time is reduced and the possibility of omissions is excluded. We guarantee absolute cleanliness of epilation.

An absolutely safe process!

The laser beam has such a property to go exactly to the target, the length of the beam during laser hair removal is 808 Nano meters, its target, that is, the target tissue is the dermis, the depth is 4-5 mm. Then he does not go anywhere, does not cause heating of the surrounding tissues. All other organs are located under the muscles. The diode does not even pass into the hypodermis - it passes only into the dermis, therefore all the lymph nodes and the thyroid gland, not to mention the internal organs, are all protected by muscle tissue. And she, in turn, does not conduct anything, so the safety of laser hair removal lies precisely in this.

Naturally, we take into account all the contraindications that exist for any procedure, they are described in detail on our website and on Instagram. If these contraindications are absent, then hair removal, like all other procedures on our laser device, is absolutely safe!

Preparation for the procedure

• It is recommended to shave your hair 1-2 days before the planned procedure.
• 1-2 days before the procedure, do not use cosmetic and deodorizing agents, alcohol-containing cosmetics (deodorant, lotion, tonic, DRY-DRY deodorant), since any impurities on the skin will be additional chromophores with unpredictable absorption spectra, which can lead to undesirable consequences ...
• If you go to a solarium or have previously taken the sun's rays, you can come to the procedure after 10 days!

Features of laser hair removal

• In hormone-dependent areas (armpits, nasolabial triangle, bikini area), procedures are carried out with a frequency of 1 session every 2-3 weeks, starting from the 5th, the interval increases to 4 weeks. In other areas, procedures are carried out once every 4-6 weeks, and starting from the 5th interval is 9-10 weeks.
• If the recommendations on repeated procedures are not followed, laser hair removal is ineffective, and the duration of the course increases, since the hair grows asynchronously.
• After LE, the hair will gradually be pushed out (within 2 weeks), due to the degradation of thermally damaged and deprived of nourishment follicles. Hair loss is most effective with dark hair, since they have a pronounced photoacoustic effect and higher damage due to the large amount of chromophore.
• Hair should fall out on its own. You cannot pull them out, since depilation removes living hair. Subsequently, if depilation was carried out, the tissue begins to reject the hair that has undergone LE, and during the repeated procedure we only affect the dead hair, and not the living hair, because they have not yet had time to grow.
• After the course of procedures and the achievement of the result, the appearance of single hairs is possible, which depends on the individual characteristics of the person. Supportive procedures may be needed to prolong the effect.

Post-procedural care

• Treatment with panthenol 2-3 times a day for 3 days.
• Do not sunbathe or visit the solarium for 2 weeks. Use photo protection with a factor of at least 50.
• Depilation is excluded. Hair can only be shaved off or removed with a special depilatory cream. We exclude all subsequent types of hair removal: shugaring, wax, tweezers, epilator!
• After the procedure itself for 3 days, we again exclude alcohol-containing cosmetics, as well as Dry-Dry deodorant (it will last for 4-5 days), sauna, steam bath, swimming pool! You can go to the gym one day after the procedure!
• We take solarium and sun rays only after 10 days!

Please note that the lack of the desired effect of epilation is possible if the patient does not comply with the intervals between procedures.

Hair removal is a popular niche in the beauty and health business, the demand for which has grown significantly in recent years. You can open an office that provides depilation services if you have 300 thousand rubles.

Any woman strives to be beautiful as far as financial opportunities allow. Even in ancient Egypt, a hairless body was considered a sign of youth and perfect beauty. At the same time, the history of hair removal began, a procedure that has become a habit in the 21st century for most women and some men. Someone prefers to remove hair at home, but only professional hair removal is able to get rid of the hairline with high quality and for a long time, so more and more people turn to hair removal offices and salons.

The demand for the service can be judged by the number of offers. In Russian cities with a population of over one million (except for Moscow and St. Petersburg), on average, more than 450 organizations offer epilation and depilation services: beauty salons, cosmetology studios, medical clinics, and so on. And that's not counting private craftsmen. In the 15 largest cities of Russia, on average, there are 4 firms providing such services for every 10 thousand population.

Many people ask themselves whether a license for depilation services is needed, in which the destruction of hair follicles does not occur (on the Internet, depilation is often considered a household service, referring to the regulations of the Ministry of Labor). The answer is necessary, since depilation is part of medical activity according to the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2011 No. 1664n “On the approval of the range of medical services”.

What you need to open a business for sugaring and waxing

People come to the depilation office to become more beautiful, to devote time exclusively to their own person, and let the whole world wait. This procedure is an intimate procedure, sometimes painful. To make the client relax, feel comfortable and confident, it is recommended to create a favorable atmosphere with the help of a beautiful interior.

Standard furniture used for hair removal rooms is cosmetology couches and armchairs, the cost is from 10,000 rubles. A cosmetology table will cost 5,000 rubles. Various consumables are required for the procedures, for example, disposable sheets, blankets, towels, hats, spatulas, etc. The complete equipment of the depilation room, including the reception area, the waiting area, work accessories, a sign, etc., will cost from 190 thousand rubles.

Photoepilation is a flash of high-intensity light on the hair follicle. The energy of the light pulse heats and destroys the hair follicle. Photoepilation is suitable for hair of any color. Destruction of all hair follicles occurs after 3-10 procedures. Photoepilation is considered the most effective way to remove hair, it takes less time than laser hair removal or electrolysis, it is suitable for all parts of the body, and is not accompanied by unpleasant sensations. Photoepilation is contraindicated for people with photodermatosis, acute allergies, chronic skin diseases, severe forms of hypertension and coronary heart disease.

When carrying out any type of hardware hair removal, it is necessary to use special cosmetics: a preparatory scrub, a preparatory lotion, a protective cream after hair removal. The cost of one bottle of the product is 1000 rubles and more. The choice of professional cosmetics is presented in online stores and beauty shops in large cities.

To open an epilation and depilation office, it is not necessary to purchase all types of epilators, although some offices provide their clients with the widest possible choice of hair removal methods. Usually clients are offered one method of hardware epilation and several methods of depilation.

Hair removal training is usually offered by the equipment dealer. In large cities, courses are often held in which they introduce the basics of hardware techniques, but they will not teach them the intricacies of working with a specific machine. The cost of courses is from 5 thousand rubles. To attract clients and convince them of the expediency and effectiveness of expensive hardware epilation, you can carry out free epilation of small areas of skin for those who wish. Impressed clients will return and want to complete the procedure.
