5 Myths and 5 Facts About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is probably the only method that scientifically is acceptable for treating unwanted hair growth.

However, as with other modern methods of treatment, the use of the laser accompanies a number of myths and fears that often prevent someone from applying it.

Let’s face up some myths, but also the truth that shoots them down.

Myth #1 Painful Treatment

Our laser, Motus AX is a state-of-the-art technology and has built-in cooling systems designed with the comfort of client in mind! The only feeling during treatment is a mild sensation like warm pinpricks or cold temperatures.

For someone who has very sensitive skin, we can apply anesthetic cream 30 minutes before treatment to reduce any potential discomfort.

Myth #2 Ideal only for light skins

The main reason to choose Laser Alexandrite for the removal of unwanted hair growth is its effectiveness. The wavelength of this crystal (755nm) absorbs much more of the melanin of the hair than any other laser source such as Yag or Diode.

At Dermalaser Beauty Lounge, treatments are effective on all skins color and types. The highly trained staff and our latest generation medical equipment promises hair-free skin and on darker skin thanks to the innovative Moveo handle.

This technology provides complete safety and protection since it acts as a scanner gradually increasing and controlling skin temperature.

Myth #3 No sun exposure

The truth is that according to the laser hair removal with Motus AX is recommended to avoid long exposure to the sun for 48 hours before the session and 48 hours after. It is also recommended to use sunscreen protective cream on a permanent basis.

Myth #4 Gymnastics and Laser

The body during the session absorbs high temperature, which remains on the skin for up to 24 hours. So if you want to exercise or visit your gym, be aware that you are at risk of developing papilla or skin infection from environmental bacteria and sweat.

Myth #5 Accurate method of hair removal

The reality is that a laser session costs more if compared to buying a razor or hair removal machine. However, if someone calculates that the cost of laser treatment is repeated into a period of 6 weeks (the period until the next time the session is repeated) and the fact that the hairs are constantly reduced and eliminated when the cycle of treatments is completed, the total cost is clearly less! Similarly, traditional hair removal methods do not reduce hair growth, are painful, time consuming and in many cases have side effects.
