Hair Drop - Épilation laser (Sion)

**HOW IT WORKS

The laser's light beam targets the hair's melanin and is transformed into heat at the base of the hair follicle. The follicle and its germinative endings are burned off, and the hair will no longer grow back. With laser hair removal, the hair follicles destroyed are those in the hair growth phase. Those that are not in the growth phase are also destroyed, but not permanently, as the structures that nourish them are not destroyed.

To achieve definitive hair removal of an area, all hairs must therefore be touched by the laser at least once in their anagen phase. Hence the need to repeat sessions at precise intervals, depending on the area to be depilated.

Once destroyed, the hair will emerge and fall out on its own in the two weeks following treatment. This progressive hair loss is completely normal and typical of diode laser hair removal.

**IS LASER HAIR REMOVAL PAINFUL?

Unlike conventional IPL or laser devices, diode laser hair removal is virtually painless thanks to its cooling system (+5°C), which acts on contact with the skin.

The device's different settings (skin type and hair type) enable you to adapt the parameters to each individual, for a treatment that's always pleasant. There's no need to apply an anesthetic cream before your session.

**FOR WHOM?

Hair removal has always been a chore for women, but nowadays it's just as important for men.

In women, certain areas are hormone-dependent, such as the face and bust, whereas legs and armpits are not. These areas will therefore require more sessions to be completely removed, as regrowth is regularly stimulated by hormones. Maintenance sessions may also be required. For other areas, the result will be definitive between 5 and 8 sessions.

In men, hair growth is more stimulated. Definitive hair removal** therefore takes longer, and is not always 100% complete. In this context, the diode laser is the ideal laser, as it enables very high quality hair removal by eliminating as many hairs as possible.

DETAILING

At our first contact, we'll set up a free appointment to determine whether the treatment is right for you. We'll also carry out a test on a small area of your skin.

During this meeting, we'll need to know a few things about you, such as whether you're taking any medication, or whether you're aware of any allergies or illnesses. We'll also determine your skin type and hair type, so that we can best set up our laser.

We can then schedule your first session, with subsequent ones spaced 4 weeks apart (hair cycle). What's more, our technician will give you all the information you need before and after your session.
