Thanks to the advancing and developing technology, laser hair removal on the face has become possible in recent years. Among the laser epilation application areas, the face area, which is most affected by hormones, is the area with the most difficult results.
The hair on the face, which is very laborious and difficult to deal with, can be eliminated precisely by laser hair removal on the face. The hair on the face differs from other areas due to depth, thickness, color and hormonal sensitivity.
Although it is generally known that the most effective device in hair removal applied to the face is diode laser, it is not correct to generalize due to differences in criteria. Since the hair structure and skin color of each person will differ, an expert determining the device suitable for you will provide you with the most precise solution.
Laser Hair Removal Applied to the Face
You should stop using methods such as tweezers, rope and waxing 3-4 weeks before you start laser epilation on the face area. The epilation process, which differs from person to person in terms of the number of sessions in terms of hair color and structure in the face area, takes 8-10 sessions on average. The sessions applied to the face area, where hormonal sensitivity is the highest, are carried out with 1-month intervals.
Skin Care and Makeup
Since laser hair removal is a procedure aimed at directly destroying the hair follicle, temporary effects such as blistering, redness and crusting of the hair follicles may occur after the sessions. You should use the moisturizing creams recommended by your doctor as recommended to eliminate these temporary effects, which end after 1-3 hours and in rare cases after 24 hours. You should not touch your face with water for at least 8 hours after application to the face.
Since chemical peeling and skin peeling procedures can cause serious irritation problems between the epilation sessions applied to the face, you should not have such applications.
Make-up after laser hair removal, which is one of the most curious topics, is also one of the issues to be considered… It would be healthiest to stay away from make-up for 1-2 days after your laser epilation sessions if possible. In addition; as it is known, some make-up materials can trigger various allergic conditions. You should never apply such products to the skin that becomes sensitive due to the application, and you should prefer quality products that do not prevent the skin from breathing.
The negative effects of sun rays on the areas where epilation is applied are expressed at every opportunity. The face area is one of the areas that should be protected from the sun while undergoing laser epilation. In order to prevent the spotting problem that may arise from the interaction of laser epilation and the sun, it is necessary to avoid going out in the sun if possible, and if necessary; it is absolutely necessary to use high-factor sun protection creams.
