What is laser hair removal?
Permanent laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to remove unwanted hair.
The principle of permanent laser hair removal consists of destroying the germ cells of the hair using a light beam emitted by a laser.
The target of this beam is the melanin contained in the hairs. This laser beam penetrates the skin to destroy the hair and its structures, in particular the stem cells and the bulb by thermal effect. This is called selective photothermolysis. The hair is then destroyed at its root and will no longer grow: hence the “permanent” nature of laser hair removal.
Permanent hair removal is carried out in the clinic using a high-precision laser to target the hair follicles.
At Renécia, we use laser Clarity II from the Lutronic brand, for its ability to adapt to all skin types, even the most fragile, and for its superior speed to all other machines on the market.
Thanks to its wider beam, it allows a larger area to be treated at once and reduces the total treatment time required.
Why start laser hair removal in winter?
Winter is the ideal season to begin laser hair removal treatment.
1. Less sun exposure, therefore greater safety
To ensure safety and effectiveness, it is essential to limit sun exposure before each session. Tanned skin is more sensitive to lasers, and recent sun exposure can increase the risk of burns or irritation. In winter, with less natural sun exposure, these risks are reduced, while also minimizing the appearance of pigmentation spots and other undesirable effects.
2. Prepare your skin for summer
Laser hair removal requires several sessions, usually spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, to effectively target hairs in the growth phase. By starting in winter, you can complete your treatment before summer and enjoy perfectly smooth skin without the stress or last-minute hair removal.
3. Optimal comfort for the skin
Winter is more pleasant for the skin: less heat, less perspiration, and covering clothing that protects the treated areas. After each session, the skin may be sensitive, and it's easier to follow the moisturizing instructions to soothe and restore it.
4. Discreet care
With layers of winter clothing, it's easy to enjoy your sessions discreetly. Minor redness or temporary irritation goes unnoticed, allowing you to continue your daily routine without embarrassment.
