Laser Hair Removal Application
Laser hair removal procedure begins with the evaluation of specialist doctors by examining the area to be performed according to hair and skin type. As a result of the examination, the suitability of laser hair removal, possible results and side effects are transferred to the person. Then, the application process is moved on.
It is very important to choose the appropriate laser device type in laser hair removal application. These devices are named according to light wavelengths in nm.
Laser Hair Removal Devices:
1.Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal
The pain is at least, the processing time is fast and leaves clean skin after the procedure. It is the most comfortable method to apply. For this reason, it is the most widely used laser type.
2.Diode Laser Hair Removal
It is not very preferred because it take 15-20 days to shed the hair after the procedure.
3.Nd:YAG Laser Hair Removal
It’s a painful procedure. Therefore, its use is not very common.
After the appropriate laser hair removal device and dose are determined, laser hair removal process is started.
In which centers should laser hair removal be done?
Laser hair removal is a serious procedure, requires expertise and experience. Practices by unahiled persons and unsupervised companies can lead to persistent problems. For this reason, laser hair removal is extremely important to be performed in institutions permitted by the
Ministry of Health, such as hospitals and medical centers.
Who Can Get Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal can be performed by anyone over 16 years of age, whose hair structure is appropriate, who has a significant difference between hair color and skin color (dark hair) and who is not hypersensibility to light.
What does the success of laser hair removal depend on?
Device selection: The first step for a successful laser hair removal application is the choice of the right device.
Skin color: The open skin color of the person to be implemented provides an advantage in the application. Because dose increase in open skin types can be done more comfortably. The higher the laser dose, the higher the success.
Hair color: In laser hair removal applications, activity in thick hairs is high. Therefore, the darker the hair, the more successful the laser hair removal. In thin hairs, the effectiveness is less. Diode lasers can provide effectiveness in some well-selected thin hairs.
The region where hair removal will be applied: One of the most difficult areas in hair removal is the face area. More sessions are required for the face area. The armrest, genital and lower leg area are the areas where laser hair removal is best responded to.
Gender: Women are more advantageous for laser hair removal. The average success in men is lower than that of women. If there is hormonal hair in women, the disease needs to be treated.
What Should Laser Pay Attention To Before Hair Removal?
Until at least a month before laser hair removal, epilator, tweezers, rope removal procedures should not be performed on the membrane that receives hairs from the root. In order for laser hair removal to take effect, it must extend to the root of the hair.
There should be no tanning or entering the solarium until 1–1.5 months before laser hair removal. All known diseases, especially skin diseases, should be reported to the doctor. In addition, if acne treatment has been received in the last 6 months, doctor information should be given.
What are the preparations for laser hair removal?
Before laser hair removal, the area is cleaned of deodorant and other cosmetics with a wet wipe. The hairs in the area are shortened by the shaver. In order to avoid wast time loss in the sessions after the first session, the person can also perform the shortening process 3 days in advance. Pain is usually minimal during a laser hair removal session. However, local anesthetic cream can be applied 1 hour before the procedure in people who are very painful.
How is Laser Hair Removal Applied?
Laser beams produced in the laser device are applied to the skin with a hand tool. An area with a diameter of 12-15-18 mm is scanned with individual shots at a time. People who perform and have laser hair removal should wear protective glasses during the procedure. The rays applied to the skin are held by the paint agent called melanin, which is located in the structure of the hair and gives it a black color. The retained light energy turns into heat energy in the bristle.
Heat transmitted to the hair follicle destroys the hair follicle in a millisecond period. At this moment there is a feeling similar to a slight stinging needle, swelling and redness of the hair ingrestion is observed. These symptoms show that hairs are affected. Thanks to the air and contact cooling provided through the device during the procedure, the skin is protected and the pain and side effects are reduced. It is observed that redness and edema pass even during cooling.
Is Pain Felt During Laser Hair Removal Application?
Only when light touches the body can there be much less pain than we feel when plucking a single hair with tweezers. Meanwhile, at least 10-15 hair follicles can be reached at the same time in the area where the light touches.
How Long Does Laser Hair Removal Application Take?
The duration depends on the region where the hair removal will take place. For example, if you want to use it can last 10-15 minutes in areas such as face, groin, armpinth and 1 hour in the legs. Also, the device used in hair removal according to skin and hair condition will also differ in time.
After Laser Hair Removal
After laser hair removal, cooling the area with ice application or air at intervals of 15-20 minutes relaxes the skin, reduces redness and swelling or completely loses it.
Moisturizing the area with moisturizers after the procedure again allows the skin to recover.
After laser hair removal, very hot water should not be applied for the first 24 hours.
Sweaty heavy sports should not be performed in the area where hair removal is applied.
In the aim of tanning for 15 days after application, sunbathing and solarium should not be entered. If laser hair removal is applied to exposed areas of the skin, such as the face, sunscreen should be used in sunny weather until the next session.
How Long Should It Take Between Two Sessions?
The hairs on our body go through the stages of growth, rest and shedding. If a laser is applied while a hair is in a growth phase, it may be possible for it to disappear permanently in that session. Therefore, periods such as 1-2 months are envisaged between sessions. If a laser is applied to a hair that is not present at the growth stage, the hair is smoked and cannot complete the task of delivering the light to the hair follicle.
Hairs that have reached a length of 0.3 cm on the skin can be processed without waiting for further lengthening. Session intervals vary depending on the duration region.
Who should not be applied to laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is not applied to those who are in the first 3 months of pregnancy, children under 12 years of age, those with collagen tissue disease in their skin, herpes (herpes) and psoriasis diseased skin areas, skin cancer or pre-cancer skin lesions. Some laser hair removal devices cannot get enough results on tanned skin. In such cases, it is necessary to wait for the skin to lighten up.
Alexandrite Laser
The old technology Alexandrite lasers could not be used in all skin and hair types because their usage areas were very limited. However, state-of-the-art Alexandrite lasers are used in all skin types except very dark skin types. As long as there is melanin in the hair roots, Alexandrite is much more successful in laser hair removal than other lasers. Before laser hair removal, it is necessary to consult the authorized person and to perform an analysis of your hair type and determine the dose to be used by professional persons.
By being held by 755 nm Alexandrite laser dark matter, they transfer their energy to these substances and turn into heat energy. In laser hair removal, the principle is to ensure that the color substance called melanin, which is located in the hair follicle, is kept by laser light and converted into heat, and then destroys the hair follicle with this heat energy. Meanwhile, the resulting heat destroys the hair follicle cell. Since the melanin in the hair is more concentrated than the skin, damage to the skin is prevented.
The wavelength of laser light used in laser hair removal has the ability to be absorbed by melanin pigment. Since it is the laser best absorbed by 755 nm Alexandrite melanin in laser systems (Alexandrite, Diode, Nd-YAG), it has been proven by clinical studies that laser hair removal with Alexandrite laser system always achieves more successful results.
Botox
What is Botox?
Botox application is a method used in the treatment of wrinkles in the face and neck area.
Clostridium is a toxin isolated from a bacterium called botilinum. It’s not a snake venom, as is said in public. The feature of this active substance is to cancel the warning that the muscles will receive from the nerve ends. Therefore, it is to eliminate light and moderate wrinkles on our face due to reflexes and mimic movements. The skin has the opportunity to recover thanks to the muscles that do not contract. In fact, the formation of deep wrinkles that may occur in later stages is prevented. Botox is used for aesthetic purposes to remove wrinkles and is safely used in the treatment of excessive sweating.
Can Botox, a Toxin, Be Harmful?
Botulunium toxin has been safely used all over the world since the 1980s. Since it is used in very small quantities for aesthetic purposes, there is no undesirable effect after the correct application. Botulunium toxin only has a muscle-level effect where it is applied, its effects are not seen outside the application zone.
History of Botox
Botulinum toxins were first studied in the late 1960s for the treatment of neurological diseases. Botox first received FDA approval for the treatment of eye muscle diseases in 1989 and cervical dystonia in 2000. It was noted that the wrinkles between the eyebrows softened as a side effect during the treatment of eye muscle diseases.
Botox Application Areas in the Face Area
• Between eyebrows: For the purpose of removing vertical lines between both eyebrows
• Forehead region: For the purpose of removing horizontal lines in the forehead area
• Eye edges (Goose Foot): For the purpose of removing wrinkles during laughing or smiling
• For some removal of both eyebrow edges
• Small wrinkles on the upper lip: In order to remove small wrinkles that stand out with the movements around the mouth
• For the purpose of removing vertical wrinkles on the lip edges
• Jaw (Mental Zone)
• In order to eliminate the appearance of the upper gum when laughing (for the removal of the rabbit lip image)
• Chewing muscles on both sides in people with teeth grinding problems.
• It is applied for the purpose of removing the lines under the neck called platysma.
What is the Effectiveness of Botox on Wrinkles?
Technically Botox solution is injected into small muscles under the skin in the wrinkle area. The mechanism of action of Botox is that it temporarily prevents the contraction of the muscles that cause wrinkles.
Botox partially immobilizes and freezes the muscle into which it is injected for a while. Muscles that no longer contract also open the wrinkle. When the procedure is repeated for a long time, these wrinkles are also prevented from forming permanent deep marks on the skin.
Botox Application for Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)
• Palms
• Sole of foot
• Armpit
Botox is an excellent solution because excessive sweating in the mentioned areas makes people very uncomfortable (40 times as much as normal). The patient who does not have any sweating problems for approximately 6 months also recovers from the psychological pressure of excessive sweating. There are almost no side effects. A small amount of botox is tossed into the skin. It is very useful in those who have to wear shirts and jackets constantly due to work. Botox sweating treatment is an easy and effective method.
