Let's uncover the truth about laser hair removal.
Hello. I am Seo Min-ho , the Chief Director of EPISODE CLINIC , writing the story of beauty.
I will select the most frequently asked questions and provide answers.
GMPP, equipment that we researched very diligently
I have personally received various hair removal lasers such as Clarity, Apogee, and GentleMax for over 5 years, and
The equipment I carefully selected based on the treatment results is the ' GentleMax Pro Plus' device.
Because it is the most preferred not only by me but also by many users and actual patients receiving the treatment
There are also many questions regarding this.
In the first column, the Hermes of hair hair removal... no, one that could also be called the Porsche
About this monstrous piece of equipment, the GentleMax Pro Plus
I selected the four questions you are most curious about.
I will start with a response to this!
Q1. Does the effectiveness of laser hair removal decrease if I undergo it while taking hair loss medication such as Propecia, Minoxidil, or Avodart?
Theoretically, taking Propecia can increase the hair growth phase (anagen), which may increase the percentage of hair that responds to laser hair removal.
However, scientific research results regarding this have not yet been revealed.
Although some people say that it is more effective, from the perspective of evidence-based medicine,
We do not recommend it until accurate research results are available.
However, I recommend taking it to maintain your hair rather than for hair removal!
(Men's hair care starts with keeping what needs keeping and getting rid of what needs getting rid of.)
Q2. Is receiving it strongly always effective?
No. Every medical procedure involves gains and losses resulting from the act.
In other words, the gains and losses must be weighed, and the process should proceed in the direction that is more beneficial.
Going back to the basics, if we consider the reasons why we hair removal , cosmetic purposes are the most common.
It is a treatment performed to create a neat impression and a more stylish appearance , but
If, for this purpose, the treatment is performed with high intensity and side effects such as burns or multiple folliculitis occur,
It looks even messier, and this is exactly a case where the disadvantages outweigh the advantages.
Always based on the side effects and degree of hair loss that occurred during the previous treatment
A customized hair removal treatment must be performed for minimal side effects and optimized hair loss.
I am sharing in the patients' pain...
Q3. When can I start shaving after laser hair hair removal ?
We recommend waiting one week before shaving.
Unlike normal hair, heat- denatured hair is not easily cut by a razor blade, and forcibly shaving it may cause cuts.
Q4. Is it okay to use a home laser hair removal device at home after receiving laser hair hair removal at a clinic?
I do not recommend it.
If you received laser hair hair removal treatment with the proper parameters,
Most hair in the growth phase (Anagen phase) has already reacted.
If additional heat stimulation is applied at this time, the possibility of side effects outweighs the benefits obtained.
Therefore, I do not recommend it.
The information so far
I hope this was very helpful!!
I will continue to personally write columns that provide various useful information.
