Conclusion

You now know how to choose a center in which to be treated completely confidently. Choice of the device: the Alexandrite for light skins, the Yag for dark skins. A Criojet type cooling system, with air blown at -60°C. Ideally, choose a practitioner with a laser equipped with an intermittent shooting system, which can be adapted more easily to your personal characteristics. No treatment without medical supervision. Avoid flash lamps and other IPL. Indeed, the results obtained with such devices cannot be compared to that of a laser and can induce severe burns and stimulate the hair.

It's up to you!

PROTECTION and SKIN COOLING

The laser is intended to burn the bulb, but it can burn the skin too. Skin cooling is thus the keystone in laser treatment. People used to apply ice or some gel cooled in the refrigerator.then came the cryogen spray. Finally, air blown constantly at -60°C revolutionized laser hair removal, enabling a safe treatment at very high energies.

Avoid devices without appropriate cooling systems. Skin cooling is nearly absent in flash lamps for example, which can provoke severe burns and permanent depigmentation.

A consensus has been reached after numerous clinical tests and discussions with colleagues all around the world: injuries made to the hair must not have enough time to heal in between sessions.

 

Attack sessions

There are typically 3 attack sessions, each spaced of a month, or even 3 weeks to 15 days in case of a strong hormonal stimulation. The 3 sessions are the starting point of the treatment.

Then, two or three consolidation sessions are carried out. The space between sessions will get bigger and bigger. These sessions will result in a 90 % hair removal. After this second series, hair in most patients do not regrow before one or two years. In case regrowth occurs, we can assert that the hair will not be as thick as it was before the treatment. It will be very thin, scattered, and light-coloured.

 

Dead or dormant?

It will be necessary to re-evaluate the amount of work left by carrying out new tests. The question is: are the bulbs that have stopped producing hair dead or “dormant”? To answer this question, a seemingly glabrous area will be shot, and we will measure the density and the volume of the resulting papules. If we find large adjacent areas with no hair, it will not be necessary to treat the whole area again, and the price of the session will be lower. But if hair are found, then the whole area will have to be treated again.
