The fashion for smooth skin came to Europe from the East - there, even in ancient times, hair removal was considered a sign of aesthetics and good taste. Why did European women take this baton unconditionally? They have adopted, above all, the hygienic aspect and the advantage of smooth skin in intimate areas. And only later they began to remove unwanted vegetation in open areas of the body. What methods of hair removal replenish the arsenal of cosmetologists today and which method to choose for yourself?

What types of hair removal are used today?

All existing methods of hair removal are based on one principle - destruction of the bulb and overgrowth of the hair tubule. Moreover, epilation has a significant difference in this from depilation, in which the hair is removed, but the bulb itself is not destroyed. Although many consider these processes to be approximately the same, but in vain.

The chosen technology to combat unwanted vegetation, first of all, depends on your goals: to remove hair only for a while or get rid of it forever. In the first case, methods such as:

• Shaving is an old and tried-and-true method, after which stubble breaks through on the second day.
• Plucking with an epilator or thread is an unpleasant and painful manipulation.
• Chemical methods (depilatory cream). Causes many allergic reactions.
• Bioepilation (waxing, shugaring, enzyme). A good method, but after a wrong manipulation.

For complete hair removal, one cannot do without the methods of hardware cosmetology, in which the destruction of the hair follicle occurs under the influence of various types of energy. These include:

1. Laser hair removal, in which the hair growth area is exposed to laser radiation.
2. Photoepilation - the growth zone is irradiated with thermal energy converted from light energy.
3. Electrolysis - hair follicles are destroyed by electrical energy converted into heat.
4. ELOS hair removal - combines all types of energy - light, laser, electrical.
5. Qool epilation - differs from conventional laser hair removal by selective laser action only on the hairs themselves, leaving the skin intact.
6. AFT epilation, in which there is a selective effect of pulsed infrared radiation on the hair follicles.

Pros and cons of different types of hair removal

In order to make it easier to choose the best type of hair removal or depilation for yourself, you need to consider their pros and cons in more detail. It is clear that all types of hair removal have a huge plus in that in just a few procedures you can get rid of the signs of excess vegetation for a long time or even forever.

Depilation methods cannot boast of such a property, but they do not cause any harm to health. It is not for nothing that all the methods were dubbed by one generalizing term "bioepilation". So, below are the pros and cons of each technique, which you can familiarize yourself with in more detail by clicking on the links provided.

What type of hair removal should you choose?

How do you know which type of hair removal is best and which one will be optimal for you? To do this, you need to be guided by several rules:

• In any case, first get a consultation with a specialist who will assess your health condition, hair and skin type. Some types of hair removal may not work for your hair type.
• Determine the contraindications that are often encountered when describing the procedures, do you have them? Often their presence in a patient reduces the choice of one method or another.
• It should be noted that some types of hair removal cannot be performed if there are metal prostheses or electronic devices in the patient's body. In addition, you need to consider whether you are allergic to certain drugs and cosmetic substances.

If you go through the selection "from the opposite", that is, first to exclude all methods that cannot be carried out (for one or another contraindication), then it will not be difficult to choose the optimal method of hair removal among the rest. In this matter, you will also need the help of a cosmetologist.

Video: Types of hair removal and their comparison

Which method is most effective?

What type of hair removal is the most effective can be determined by a cosmetologist. The result of any method depends on the selection of the necessary parameters for the procedure and on the experience of a specialist. It is important not to violate the regime and intervals between procedures, especially hardware.

Recall that the purpose of each type of hair removal is the destruction of the hair follicle, and this is not always possible in one session. Not all hair that a person has can be removed permanently. 30% of all hair follicles are in a reserve state and can grow even after a full course, so be patient and achieve perfect skin! All the time and effort spent (and even money) can pay off handsomely after persistence and patience.

Lasers have made hair removal a real miracle. Thanks to their invention, it became fast, super-efficient and painless.

Until the 60s of the 20th century, hair removal was a real torture for women and men, admirers of impeccable smoothness. In previous publications, we introduced readers to the unique means and inventions that humanity has used for cosmetic purposes. Their effectiveness was highly questionable, with the obvious danger of their use for human health. The rapid development of quantum theory and the invention of laser devices became a real salvation for fashionistas and fashionistas.

Types of lasers for hair removal: from ruby \u200b\u200bto diode

Albert Einstein in 1917 mentioned the likelihood of the appearance of a powerful unit operating on light radiation. However, the first laser appeared only 43 years later.

During this time, they even tried to remove hair with X-rays. A 4-minute exposure to an X-ray machine led to hair loss and caused irreversible changes in the human body, however, neither doctors nor patients knew about all the side effects.

Since 1960, the rapid development of laser technologies and their introduction into all spheres of life began. Today, thanks to the works of scientists from all over the world, there are several types of lasers for hair removal ... The "oldest" of them is considered to be ruby, and the most effective and safe one is diode.

Ruby laser - a precious invention

The first laser was the result of numerous works by American and Russian scientists (T. Meiman, N. Basov, C. Towns, L. Goldman). The huge apparatus operated on a large ruby \u200b\u200b(1cm × 2cm), the side edges of which were coated with silver. Ruby laser generated a beam with a wavelength of 0.69 microns and literally burned the hair, but at the same time it did not destroy their roots (follicles) and was very dangerous for dark skin. The target for "ruby" rays is melanin, and its presence in the epidermis of dark-skinned people provokes burns. Today this type of laser is rarely used for hair removal, because in order to remove 56% of hair, it is necessary to carry out about 20 sessions with such a device.

Neodymium laser: photomechanical hair removal

A year after the invention of the ruby \u200b\u200blaser, in 1961, a device based on neodymium yttrium-aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) appeared. This 1st generation neodymium laser emitted 1064nm infrared light. Such rays penetrate deeply and are minimally absorbed by the upper layer of the epidermis, and pigment particles serve as a target for them. Light heats up the pigment, literally an explosion occurs at the molecular level. The first epilation with this device was carried out in several stages, including bioepilation with wax and rubbing the carbon microsuspension into the skin. When the carbon particles were destroyed under the skin, hair follicles were also damaged, but the effectiveness of the procedure was very low, and the likelihood of scarring on the skin was very high. Today neodymium Nd: YAG laser, hair removal which is rarely performed, it is used to remove tattoos and aesthetic skin imperfections.

"Oh, miracle!" or diode laser hair removal

Diode laser with a wavelength of 808 nm for the removal of pigmented hair from 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), for 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, unlike 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 on 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, toner, 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 for 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 fabric 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 epilation is able to get rid of the hairline with high quality and for a long time, so more and more people turn to epilation offices and salons.

The demand for the service can be judged by the number of offers. In cities with a population of one million in Russia (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. That is, it is at least one company for 2.5 thousand inhabitants.

How to register an epilation and depilation business

To open an epilation and depilation office, you need to register an LLC. An individual entrepreneur is suitable only if the entrepreneur has a doctor's diploma and work experience in the specialty for 5 years. The epilation office must have a medical license. Medical licenses are issued by the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare and Social Development for a period of five years. The organization submits an application and a package with the following documents:

• Articles of Association, Articles of Association.
• Certificate of state registration of the organization in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
• Certificate of registration of the organization with the tax authority.
• Goskomstat codes (93.02. Provision of services by hairdressers and beauty salons).
• Extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
• A document confirming the payment of the license fee for the consideration of an application for a license.
• Documents of title for non-residential premises: lease agreement, certificate of ownership.
• Floor plan of non-residential premises.
• Explication to the floor plan of the non-residential premises.
• Documents confirming ownership of the equipment or other grounds for using the equipment (for example, inventory cards).
• Medical equipment quality certificates.
• Registration certificates for medical equipment (if the equipment was produced and purchased by the organization later than 2000).
• Medical equipment maintenance contract.
• Diplomas, certificates, certificates, certificates for specialists (senior and (or) paramedical personnel).
• Documents confirming higher medical education in the field of health care from the head or deputy head of the licensed organization, documents on additional professional education, as well as certificates of a specialist in the specialty "Organization of health care and public health".
• Order on the appointment of a person responsible for medical activities.
• An employment contract, a work record book of an employee appointed in charge of medical activities, confirming the presence of work experience in the specialty for at least 5 years.
• Sanitary and epidemiological conclusion on the compliance of the premises with sanitary standards and rules for medical activities.

Since obtaining a license is a process that requires knowledge of bureaucratic intricacies, many applicants resort to the services of law firms. The cost of these services is about 40 thousand rubles in the regions and about 100 thousand rubles in Moscow.

Many people wonder whether a license is needed for depilation services, 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, confident, it is recommended to create a favorable atmosphere with the help of a beautiful interior. It makes no sense to rent a large room, the office should be small but cozy.

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. If we add to this amount the funds to pay for three months of rent, investments in cosmetic repairs and lighting, as well as advertising, then the starting threshold for entering the business will be an amount of 300-350 thousand rubles.

In the modern beauty industry, there are several ways to remove unwanted hair. Sugar depilation (or shugaring) is hair removal using a special paste. This method has no serious contraindications. The effect lasts about 20 days. Shugaring paste costs about 1,000 rubles per kilogram. Before the procedure, talcum powder is used for sugar hair removal (250 rubles for 150 grams) and a cleansing lotion (400 rubles for 200 ml), after the procedure, a cream is applied to the skin that slows down hair growth (400 rubles for 200 ml). Epilation of legs to the knee by the shugaring method costs 450-1000 rubles, legs along the entire length - 1000-2000, armpits - 300-500 rubles, bikini zones - 600-1800 rubles. Similarly to sugar depilation, caramel and chocolate depilation works. A large selection of hair removal products is presented in professional cosmetics salons and online stores.

Another common way of depilation is wax, sometimes called bioepilation. The wax can be in cartridges (the price for salons is 150-160 rubles per 100 ml). To prepare the cartridge for work, special vertical heaters are used (1200 rubles). Warm waxes can also be packaged in 400 and 800 ml cans. Bank cost from 400 rubles. A can heater will cost 2,000 rubles. To remove hair in the bikini area and under the arms, hot waxes are required (price 1000 rubles per kilogram). Film waxes are suitable for all areas of the body. The cost of a can is about 1000 rubles for 800 ml. Auxiliary cosmetics that are used to prepare the skin for depilation, as well as after the procedure, are preparatory gel, cleansing oil, cleansing lotion, serum after depilation, emulsion after depilation. The cost of the product is 400-700 rubles per bottle. The cost of waxing is approximately equal to the cost of shugaring. The training course for waxing and sugaring costs about 10,000 rubles in educational centers and takes several days.

For one depilation room, the real turnover will be the amount of 200-250 thousand rubles. Taking into account the remuneration of employees, fixed and variable costs (rent, advertising, the Internet, household expenses, consumables, electricity), the net profit can be 90-150 thousand rubles.

What you need to start a business with hardware hair removal

To get rid of unnecessary vegetation on the body for a long time or permanently, hardware epilation is used.

Electrolysis is the destruction of the hair follicle by electric current. Each hair is processed separately. The procedure is long and sometimes painful; it is contraindicated in case of heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, pregnancy, skin diseases, and oncological diseases. Currently, there are several methods of electrolysis: thermolysis, electrolysis, blend method, flash method.

The cheapest electric epilator costs 15,000 rubles. The price of expensive models reaches 200,000 rubles. Such devices are able to select programs depending on the thickness and structure of the hair, automatically initiate an electrical impulse when it enters the hair follicle, have a special microchip that allows you to record dozens of different hair removal programs, prevent tissue burns associated with incorrect needle insertion, have programs for post-depilation patient management. The cost of a minute of electrolysis is 18-25 rubles. Anesthesia is paid additionally (200-300 rubles).

Laser hair removal is the destruction of hair follicles using laser radiation. This method is only suitable for black hair. Contraindicated in pregnant women, diabetics, people with skin diseases and oncological diseases. The price of a laser epilator starts at 200,000 rubles. The cost of hair removal varies depending on the parts of the body, for example, forehead hair removal will cost around 800-2000 rubles, and for legs, 8-14 thousand rubles. There are also price differences between male and female laser hair removal: the latter is cheaper. Point laser hair removal is also possible at the request of the customer. One outbreak is estimated at about 100-150 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.

The persistent, incessant struggle of women for smooth skin has caused the development of a whole direction in the beauty industry. To remove unwanted vegetation on the body today, there are several methods of hair removal, each of which has its own characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and contraindications. The epilation course, as a rule, includes several procedures that have to be repeated periodically in order to process the "dormant" follicles.

Laser hair removal

The most accessible and popular method. The laser epilator destroys the reproductive system of the hair follicles with a beam of a certain spectrum. At the same time, nearby tissues are heated slightly, so the procedure does not cause painful sensations. The disadvantage of this method can be considered a weak effect on hair with a low melanin content - gray and light. The procedure has few contraindications: pregnancy, diabetes mellitus, skin diseases and oncology.

Electrolysis

Hair removal by means of a weak high-frequency current, which causes their thermal destruction. Each hair must be treated separately. The procedure is rarely used today, as it is lengthy and far from painless. Contraindications: pregnancy, heart disease, hypertension, the presence of a pacemaker, diabetes, skin diseases and cancer.

Photoepilation

The laser photoepilator uses a light beam with a wavelength of 500 to 1000 nm. The beam is applied to the surface of the skin in the form of short flashes that cause overheating and follicle death. Disadvantages of the method:
- the method has practically no effect on blonde hair, has low efficiency with a fresh tan;
- in the treatment area, the top layer of the skin overheats, sometimes to a slight burn.
