Permanent hair removal in Herent

Permanent laser hair removal, what is it exactly?

Where traditional methods of hair removal are based on month-to-month withdrawal, laser hair removal is a gentle form of hair removal that hardly irritates the skin.

With permanent hair removal in Herent, a laser that has a specific wavelength is used. This low wavelength is suitable for permanent hair removal. The laser beam heats the pigment of the hair in the hair follicle. This heating causes the hair follicles to break down with the result that no more hairs can grow. Since hairs only have pigments in the hair follicle during the growth phase, a laser treatment has to be administered several times. Unfortunately, it is not possible to administer laser treatment on fully grown hairs or hairs that are in a resting phase.

If permanent hair removal is used, the areas to be treated are first smeared with a layer of transparent gel. After applying the gel, the intensity of the laser is determined and adjusted. When this is set, the laser hair removal can begin and both the client and the practitioner put on the glasses. From that moment on you can flash. This is done by sliding the laser head over the areas to be treated. 

How exactly do these flashes work? Each piece of skin is flashed for a second. In this way, the hairs are permanently removed. You are obliged to do this treatment several times. Hair does not disappear permanently from one treatment.

Negative experiences with permanent hair removal In Herent? No need to panic!

People generally have a negative view of permanent laser hair removal. They think that laser hair removal can cause skin cancer because they consider this method of hair removal to be a very aggressive method. So this is a misconception of a lot of people. Permanent hair removal using a laser only destroys the hair and does not cause any further damage to the skin.

You sometimes hear people say that laser hair removal is very painful. This is not true. Many people believe that this treatment is very painful and they have heard that certain people use cream for the pain after their treatment. However, the reality is that the discomfort is minimal and the sensitivity varies from person to person. The treatment is generally not painful at all, and it will not make you want to return for another treatment. On the contrary, once you see the benefits of laser hair removal, you will want nothing more. You can always request additional information about this from  our beauticians.

Are you aware of how much money you spend on hair removal strips or wax each month? Or how much money we spend on razor blades and foam every month? Let's not talk about the time we lose with it. Laser hair removal is a very good investment if you want to save time and money in the long term. After a few sessions, you only need to return once every few years, and sometimes not even once!

And then the last misconception we want to clear up from the world. Many people think that after a treatment you should avoid the sun as much as possible. What they don't know is that this also applies to the treatment. In general, we recommend that you do not go out in the sun for two weeks before and after the treatment. Are you doing this? Then it is best to use a sunscreen with a high protection factor and no self-tanning agents.

The 5 secrets about permanent laser hair removal?

1. Start now and enjoy the summer to the fullest!

Several treatments are required to achieve the desired result. This is why the time of the treatment in the year is so important. For the face it is wise to keep 6 weeks between treatments and on the body 6 to 8 weeks. Back and shoulders generally need a little more time because the hairs grow less quickly there. In general, it is recommended to start treatment when the fall/winter falls, but you can also start it in the middle of summer if exposure to sun rays is limited.

2. Permanent hair removal in Herent provides more convenience and less stress!

"I no longer have to shave, wonderful!"

"No worries during sports, I can also spontaneously go swimming or go to the beach."

Those are the reactions we get from our customers who have finished the full laser treatment. It mainly takes away worries, time and stress!

3. A treatment is most effective if the skin is not tanned!

When one starts lasering the hair, it reacts to the pigment in the hair root. That is why it is important that your skin contains as little pigment as possible. The laser will recognize the hair much more easily, making the treatment faster and more efficient. When the skin is less exposed to the sun, the pigment production naturally decreases. For that reason, autumn is the ideal time to start treatment.

4. I opt for an even and soft skin!

Ingrown hairs can leave your skin feeling rough and uneven. It may also happen that you have the feeling that the skin shows color differences. With dark hair colors you sometimes see a kind of haze over the skin. By using laser hair removal, the skin looks beautiful and smooth again and feels naturally soft.

5. Never have to shave, wax or epilate again!

This is the main motivation for many of our customers. Everyone has better things to do than standing in front of the mirror every day to remove annoying facial hair. Laser hair removal can be a relief! We say 'almost never' having to shave again, because it is not possible to remove all hairs 100%. So sometimes some (grey, very blond) hairs will remain, not much of course. For many people this is quite acceptable.
