Enzymatic hair removal
With the onset of the summer season, more and more girls are looking for the perfect method of removing body hair - preferably painlessly and permanently. Well, I have something to please you! :) Our topic today is enzymatic hair removal.
What is Enzymatic Hair Removal
This is the latest epilation system, in which hair is destroyed using special enzymes - biologically active substances that are harmless to the body. It can often be found in depilation creams, as well as cosmetic products that slow down hair growth, etc.
The enzyme hair removal system is very similar to hot wax hair removal. During the procedure, the mixture is heated in the same way, then applied with a special spatula to the skin, after a while the mass is removed, and the hair will disappear with it.
Due to the similarity of the process, many do not see much difference between waxing and enzyme hair removal. But in fact the difference is big. After all, you do not just remove hair, you also prevent its further appearance.
In order to better understand the essence of enzyme hair removal, you should know that enzymes “work” only with hair follicles that are in the growth phase, therefore, unfortunately, it is unrealistic to get rid of all the hair in one session. For the full effect, 5-7 procedures are required, which must be done every month.
Benefits of Enzymatic Hair Removal
- The skin becomes smooth and tender
- Hair is not just pulled out, but destroyed from the inside
- The effect is immediately visible
- Minimal risk of inflammation
- Affordable price
Enzyme-assisted hair removal is suitable for all skin types and hair colors, which makes this procedure very tempting for people with very light hair, or skin color that is too dark, for which laser hair removal is not available for this reason.
Enzymatic hair removal is also recommended for men who suffer from allergies or irritation during shaving.
But enzymatic hair removal has its pitfalls. This method of hair removal will not be able to cope with ingrown hairs, since its hair follicle is "blocked" and the product cannot get inside. But over time, as the number of hairs that are in the growth phase decreases, ingrown hairs also become smaller.
How does the enzyme epilation procedure work?
- To begin with, the hairs on the area of the body you are interested in are removed in the usual way, for example, using wax depilation.
- Then a special agent containing active enzymes is applied to the cleansed skin.
- Next, the body is covered with an elastic bandage that creates a thermal effect. If you decide to remove hair in the bikini or armpit area, then the master uses a special electrode.
- The selected areas are then heated with UV rays. The heat acts on the hair follicles and stimulates the work of enzymes.
- Enzymes destroy the life cycle of the hair follicles, and it dies.
- Then the bandages and electrodes are removed, and the skin after hair removal is treated with a special milk, which reduces skin redness and slows down hair growth.
Contraindications
Refrain from this hair removal method if you are pregnant, have varicose veins, or if your skin has abrasions or is too sensitive. Do a little test before your session to make sure your skin can tolerate the enzymes that are used during the treatment.
Enzymatic hair removal is exclusively a salon procedure, as it requires a clear calculation of the preparation for the mixture that will be applied to your body. Do not risk trying to do enzymatic hair removal at home, but rather trust a professional.
To date, enzyme hair removal is one of the safest hair removal methods, and the low cost of this method makes it very attractive to the beautiful half of humanity. :)
