The first question that everyone asks is the really final character of these sessions. When it comes to permanent hair removal, there are three methods. You should know that the real definitive is electric hair removal, which is not suitable for all areas and which is particularly painful or expensive. Laser hair removal removes about 80% of hair. It is advisable to do touch-up sessions a few years later, but the result is stunning and very satisfactory for many women. For pulsed light hair removal, it would be more accurate to speak of semi-permanent. But you should also know that the sessions are less expensive.
In general, the side effects of permanent laser hair removal are temporary. It can be reddening, bruising, burning. In rare cases, if the hair removal is done incorrectly or the laser is set incorrectly, blisters and even a scar can form. For all these reasons, it is essential to turn to a dermatologist for all these acts of permanent hair removal. In addition to the classic contraindications to the practice of permanent hair removal, the risks incurred by pulsed light are much fewer. Burning, erythema and depigmentation of the skin can still occur. The main danger concerns the eyes. Pulsed light radiation can destroy retinal cells. Hair removal with pulsed light at home is increasingly criticized and discouraged. As for electric hair removal, it can leave marks on the most sensitive and weakened skin.
Giving prices for permanent hair removal sessions is not easy, because many parameters have to be taken into account, starting with the choice of practitioner. You can discuss with him the pain caused by each method. Prices are based on criteria such as the machine used, the area to be epilated (the larger the area, the more expensive it is) and the number of sessions required. Be aware anyway that it takes a certain budget to embark on permanent hair removal, regardless of the method chosen. It is best to consult a specialist and discuss it with him. The number of sessions also depends on the area. For a satisfactory result, 3 to 5 sessions may be enough on the legs, bikini line and armpits. On the other hand, for the areas of the face, it is necessary to count more sessions, because the hairs are finer and therefore more difficult to depilate. In any case, allow many months for the chosen area to be permanently waxed.
