What is the difference between epilation and hair removal?

The most popular methods for removing unwanted hair are epilation and epilation. Although at first glance they may seem synonymous, they have fundamental differences.

Epilation is a non-permanent method of removing hair from our body. It is done mechanically, removing only the hair without disturbing the hair matrix. Depilation often leads to irritated skin and the effect of so-called ‘strawberry legs’, which are covered with small red dots that look unsightly and can be painful. In order to achieve smooth skin, epilation must be repeated regularly, which can often be a nuisance, especially for those with hard and thick hair.

Epilation is the permanent removal of hair follicles using a laser. Under the influence of the laser beam, the hair follicle, the only living part of the hair, is destroyed. Choosing epilation treatment, we can be sure that we will cope with excessive hair for a long time. Laser epilation is an effective and very comfortable solution, as we do not have to deal with the problem of ingrown hairs and irritated skin on the body

How do I prepare for a laser epilation treatment?

Before undergoing a laser epilation treatment, there are some important steps to take to help prepare your skin for the process. First of all, waxing or epilator hair removal should be avoided at least 4 weeks before the scheduled treatment. Hair should only be removed with a razor or trimmer.

A fresh tan is inadvisable during the treatment, so strong sun exposure should be avoided, as well as tanning beds for at least 2 weeks before laser epilation. Additionally, if you are taking photosensitising medication, it is a good idea to consult your doctor before the procedure. All of these steps will help to ensure that your laser epilation treatment is safe and effective, as well as minimising the risk of side effects.

How does the epilation procedure work at Arcadia Clinic?

At Arcadia Clinic, the epilation treatment is carried out using a state-of-the-art laser that effectively removes hair for long-lasting results. Already after the first session, you can notice a significant reduction in hair, and after a few more treatments it disappears almost completely. During the treatment, the laser light reaches the hair follicle, destroying its structure and preventing further hair growth. Depending on the degree of hair and the area of the body to be treated, the session lasts from a few minutes to several tens of minutes. Importantly, the treatment is virtually painless and does not require long convalescence, and the longevity of its effects is a guarantee of a long-lasting and effective fight against unwanted hair.

The right choice of laser device is key to achieving the best results in an epilation treatment. Arcadia Clinic uses the latest generation of lasers that are safe and effective in removing hair from various parts of the body, including the face, legs, back or bikini.

How do I take care of my skin after laser epilation treatment?

After a laser epilation treatment, skin care is extremely important to prevent irritation, inflammation or infection. This treatment is one of the most effective forms of hair removal, allowing you to permanently remove hair from an area of the body. Here are some skin care tips after a laser epilation treatment.

Firstly, it is important to avoid sun exposure for about two weeks after the treatment. The skin is particularly sensitive and susceptible to damage during this time. It is advisable to use creams with a high UV filter to protect the skin from the sun’s rays.

Secondly, it is important to avoid any type of activity that may irritate the skin, such as sauna, swimming pool or hot baths. During this time, it is also recommended to avoid strong cosmetics and perfumes that can irritate the skin.

Thirdly, it is important to maintain good hygiene after laser epilation treatment. It is recommended to use mild detergents and soap so as not to irritate the skin. Intense rubbing or scrubbing of the skin should also be avoided.

Fourthly, it is advisable to avoid epilation for a few weeks after the laser epilation treatment. The skin needs to regenerate to prevent irritation and inflammation. If hair removal is necessary, depilation methods such as shaving or waxing are recommended.

Finally, it is important to be patient and persistent after a laser epilation treatment. Permanent hair removal usually requires several treatments, depending on the individual needs of the patient. Laser epilation is one of the most effective methods of hair removal, but it requires time and regularity.
