Hair removal at Medest means removing unwanted hair under the supervision of a dermatologist. There are several methods, and they work differently, so the choice depends on hair color and thickness, skin type, and the treatment area.<\/p>\n\n
Laser and photoepilation heat melanin, the dark pigment in hair, so they work best on dark hair. Electrolysis destroys the hair bulb with an electric current and does not depend on hair color. Laser and IPL treat large areas quickly, while electrolysis treats each hair individually, so it is chosen for the face and small areas.<\/p>\n\n
Methods can be combined: for example, the main area can be treated with a laser, and any remaining light hairs with electrolysis.<\/p>\n\n
At the consultation, the doctor examines the skin and hair in the treatment area, checks for contraindications and any medications you take, and looks at moles and spots in the area to be treated. The doctor then explains which method is right for you, how to prepare, and why a course of treatments is needed. If hair growth may have hormonal causes, the doctor will recommend further tests.<\/p>\n\n
The main rule for laser hair removal and photoepilation is no tan: these procedures are not performed on tanned skin. Before treatment, the area is shaved, and plucking or waxing is not allowed during the course. Before electrolysis, on the other hand, the hairs need to grow out a little.<\/p>\n\n
