Always check if
you are shaved before putting on a tank top, having to go to the beautician
before going to the beach, remember to buy razors, strips of wax or other, we
were fed up. So Tendency decided to test the permanent hair removal of the
bikini line and underarms.
But we had to choose between the two options offered
on the market: pulsed light or laser?
What is that?
The two types of
hair removal are based on the same principle: to send light which will be
received by the black pigment of the hair and which will burn it at the root
"definitively".
The only
difference is that the pulsed light emits different types of more diffuse light
while the laser emits only pure light which acts on a precise target.
Cost?
It is less
expensive than the laser but is not considered to be final: the hair grows back
after 2 or 3 years. There are offers at beauticians from € 99 for 4 sessions.
Number of sessions?
The results are
visible from the 1st session, then we space the sessions for 1.5 months at the
start and then from 2 months - 3 months, all over 4 sessions on average. Then,
it will be necessary to come back a few years later since hair removal is not
final but lasting. In case of the Skin
Care Clinic Vancouver this is important.
What is that?
The technique is
explained above: a laser (light) which burns the hair at the root. Each session
kills about 20% of your hair and the result is final up to 20 years. We are
careful not to have tanned skin and not to tan after waxing (so better to do in
winter). Tattoos are also contraindicated (unless you want to transform
yourself into a stick of dynamite).
It normally
takes a minimum of 5 to 6 sessions, but this can be up to 12. The person who
plucks you will tell you, depending on your hair and skin, how many sessions to
consider.
Tendance went to a medical center located near
Churchill
A session
We make an
appointment, we are clearly explained what laser hair removal is, how much it
costs, how many sessions depending on our skin and hair (minimum 6 for us). The
first session can follow directly or we make an appointment to give ourselves
time to reflect.
The laser can
hurt depending on your level of sensitivity but it is bearable and the pain is
temporary (just enough time to burn the hairline and you no longer feel
anything). We have a small tube that sends icy wind to reduce the burning
sensation of the laser and a soothing cream at the end of the session.
The session
lasts about 15 minutes, the time to go over the hairs, iron on the hairs, check
that you have gone well over the hairs. The lady is very attentive, offers us
various styles for the swimsuit, takes the time to make conversation.
