Smooth skin without unnecessary hairs - it's almost every woman dreams about it. Modern cosmetology offers to the fair sex several methods of hair removal. With their help you can get rid of unwanted vegetation forever on any part of the body.

This method is universal, because with its help you can remove hairs of any color. Also, photoepilation is well suited for use in any part of the body, including the bikini zone, face and axillary cavities.

The procedure is safe and painless. On sensitive areas, if necessary, apply a cooling gel, which removes all unpleasant sensations. The duration of one procedure is 5-30 minutes.

2. Laser hair removal is an effective and effective way. Types of rays used during the procedure: ruby (now almost not used), neodymium (very painful), diode (more modern and efficient) and alexandrite (very popular and in demand recently).

The laser acts on the follicles, and as a result, the pigment of the hair bulb is destroyed, and the hair growth stops.

This method will always have a smooth skin. However, the laser only affects the follicle in the active growth phase, therefore, to completely remove the vegetation on the body or face, the procedure will have to be repeated 3-4 times.

Types of laser hair removal:

- sighting - is used to remove single hairs (eyebrow, chin, upper lip, nipple of the nipple, toes);

- volumetric - allows you to work on large areas of the skin (legs, armpits, bikini zone and hands).

This method is suitable for owners of dark hair, since a bright laser beam does not see, and a positive result in this case should not be expected.

3. Electrolysis is an effective and time-tested way to get rid of unwanted vegetation. Like other types of hair removal, this method will help to forget about unwanted hairs for good.

An essential advantage of this procedure is the possibility of affecting the hairs of any color. To achieve a perfectly smooth skin will need to visit the beautician 5-10 times.

4. Elo-epilation is the safest method. With its help, you can painlessly remove unnecessary hair of any color and type. This method includes all the benefits that other types of hair removal contain.
