Epilation & Hair Removal
Epilation and Depilation
Superfluous hair is a problem shared by men and women, the techniques to get rid of it, more or less permanently are many, but can be grouped into two macro categories: epilation and hair removal. Here are the advantages and disadvantages of the various techniques.
Difference between epilation and hair removal
The terms epilation and depilation are often used synonymously, in reality they are two different methods of getting rid of unwanted hair.
Hair Removal
Hair removal allows the hair to be removed from the surface of the skin, but without also removing the root. It is mostly a hygienic practice, or just a quick one, to reduce the length of the hair and prevent it from being visible to the naked eye.
Obviously, the process of hair growth on the body is continuous, so already after a few days they will be visible again and most importantly they will be quite thick, the sensation by stroking the skin can be quite unpleasant, which is precisely why it is not recommended. The rate of growth varies from person to person and according to the areas of the body.
There are different types of hair removal, more or less invasive, such as chemical depilatories, which attack the keratin structure and break the hair, or abrasive paper pads.
Epilation
Epilation is a widely used technique to get rid of unwanted hair at the root, in fact, the hair is eradicated and the consequence is that for a few weeks you will not see any hair, this is basically because today it is possible to use techniques that greatly lengthen the time of hair regrowth and consequently you can get apermanent hair removal.
The areas of the body that can be treated with epilation and hair removal are numerous in particular it is possible to get rid of hair from the legs, arms, armpits, face, groin area, chest, abdomen, in short it is possible to get rid of hair from all parts of the body where it grows.
As for epilation, there are so many techniques. The best known is waxing: the hair with this technique is eradicated at the root, making the skin smooth for up to a month. To avoid irritation and redness, the support of an experienced esthetician, such as those at our center, is highly recommended for an excellent aesthetic result.
But there are other efficient and cutting-edge hair removal techniques that are certainly better performing than classic waxing, let's analyze them.
Epilation with the oriental wire
The oriental thread epilation technique allows you to use a simple cotton thread, just as the women of the ancient East used to do. This thread has the “magic” power to uproot hair, leading it over time to weaken until it no longer grows back.
Result and duration of treatment vary according to personal characteristics and especially previous hair removal habits. This method is free of contraindications, causing no skin irritation or reaction.
Traditional hair removal with pink wax
Among the most efficient hair removal techniques we find traditional hair removal with pink wax, which guarantees a flawless and long-lasting result. The pink color of the wax reflects its delicacy; in fact, it is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.
The operator spreads the wax at the right temperature and then applies the special paper strip to it, which will allow the hairs to be pulled out at the root, weakening them and thus slowing their regrowth. Even the most unruly hairs are removed thanks to the skillful precision of the operator.
Different types of hair removal are performed for the groin area: basic, Brazilian and Hollywood. Pubic hair coloring is also performed.
Permanent Pulsed Light Hair Removal
This is an innovative, fast and effective method for long-lasting hair removal treatment. It is non-invasive and suitable for the face and body.
Pulsed light acts on the hair follicle by recognizing the melanin pigment as a target, thus without damaging the skin. After a few sessions in the treated area, no hair regrowth is achieved, and the individual treatments are painless and rather quick.
Epilation and Hair Removal: benefits
The advantage of hair removal is undoubtedly speed. Hair removal is perfect for all those areas where the skin is particularly delicate and therefore unsuitable for more invasive methods, for example, the groin and armpit area, absolutely to be avoided, however, for the face where the effects for women could be disastrous.
Waxing has the undoubted advantage of leaving the skin smooth for a long time and giving the immediate sensation of velvety skin furthermore, hair grows back more slowly.
The benefits of pulsed light are really numerous. First, over time you are able to achievepermanent hair removal and as a result you will have smooth skin, especially in those areas that are always in the public eye.
Secondly, pulsed light is not painful, unlike waxing, which can create some discomfort. During the treatment it is possible to feel a slight tingling and you may have some redness afterwards, but nothing particularly annoying or unbearable, this is also thanks to the use of gel.
