What to do with folliculitis after hair removal

In summer, many beauty-loving ladies will use various methods to deal with body skin and hair problems, so that they can wear beautiful skirts, show off their slender legs and unique feminine charm. There are many methods of hair removal on the market, such as laser hair removal, razors, hair removal wax paper, etc. However, hair removal will also leave various hidden dangers to the body. Among them, hair removal can easily cause folliculitis. This article will briefly introduce what to do if there is folliculitis after hair removal?

When summer comes every year, ladies who love beauty may pay attention to the method of plucking hair, and feel itchy skin the next day, and there are many red rashes when observed with the naked eye. Experts diagnosed that it was hidradenitis caused by improper hair removal. Human pores are actually the channels for sweat excretion. Improper removal will cause hidradenitis and folliculitis, which will inevitably cause some inconspicuous wounds on the skin surface. Once the temperature is too high and sweating is excessive, this part will cause infection due to humidity, resulting in folliculitis, hidradenitis, etc. In addition, contact dermatitis may sometimes occur due to unclean depilatory creams or hair removal tools.

Four major advantages of semiconductor hair removal:

Advantage 1: Optimal laser wavelength - more thorough hair removal

Laser hair removal must meet two important conditions: first, the laser energy can be fully absorbed by the hair follicle tissue; second, the laser can effectively penetrate the skin to reach the location of the hair follicle. The wavelength of LightSheer semiconductor laser is 800 nanometers, which is in the near-infrared region of the spectrum. It is better absorbed by melanin and can penetrate into the deep layer of the dermis and subcutaneous fat tissue, acting on hair follicles at different parts and depths, effectively removing hair at any part and depth of the human body.

The duration of the laser pulse required for optimal hair removal depends on the thickness of the hair. The thicker the hair, the longer the laser action time required. The laser pulse time of LightSheer semiconductor hair removal laser ranges from 5 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds. While achieving ideal hair removal effects, it can also effectively protect the epidermis from thermal damage.

Advantage 2: Long pulse width - no pigmentation, most suitable for Asian skin

When the laser passes through the epidermis and acts on the hair follicles, the melanin in the basal epidermal cell layer absorbs the laser energy and is damaged, which can easily cause postoperative skin pigmentation. This pigmentation will last for ten days and will seriously affect the cosmetic effect. Asians are people of color with a higher content of melanin in their epidermis, and this inflammation is particularly evident when using traditional laser hair removal, such as ruby ​​or alexandrite lasers.

LightSheer has a deep penetration depth, and the epidermis absorbs very little laser energy, so no pigmentation will occur. The long pulse width ensures that the epidermis can be effectively cooled during treatment, minimizing the temperature of the hair follicles.

Advantage 3: Sapphire contact cooling - safe and does not damage the skin

How to avoid thermal damage to the epidermis during laser hair removal is the key to the success of the treatment. Using a sapphire contact cooling device, the epidermal temperature can be effectively lowered before, during, and after laser irradiation, allowing treatment and epidermal cooling to proceed simultaneously. The doctor uses the maximum laser energy, which not only has a good long-term effect in hair removal, but also protects normal skin tissue. The contact cooling system allows the affected skin to receive laser treatment in a pressing state to avoid laser energy damaging capillary tissue. At the same time, studies have shown that this pressure can increase the light energy irradiated to the base of the hair follicles by 30%-40%.

Advantage 4: Large square spot - speeds up treatment

The new semiconductor hair removal laser spot is designed as a large 9 mm square spot. When performing large-area skin hair removal, it is not only highly efficient and fast, but also can eliminate the overlapping treatment dead zone formed by the traditional laser circular spot.

Laser hair removal precautions:

1. Choose a regular medical institution and an experienced doctor;

2. Do not use depilatory cream, depilatory cream or other cosmetics before depilation;

3. It is best to take a bath before hair removal;

4. There is a certain warmth sensation when the laser passes through the skin, which is normal;

After hair removal, you can apply cold compress to the hair removal area for 10-15 minutes, and avoid direct sunlight to the hair removal area. Check again 20-30 days after each hair removal, and decide whether to proceed with the next treatment or arrange the next treatment time after determining the effect.
