Recently in beauty salonsA new, highly advertised procedure has appeared - quantum hair removal. It should be noted that its cost is quite high. And the result? Let's figure it out. Quantum hair removal, in terms of its effect on unwanted hair, is simply a "sister" of the old and well-known photoepilation. In both cases, the "main character" is light waves. Penetrating the upper layer of the skin, they destroy the hair follicle. True, only those hairs that are in the active growth stage at the time of the procedure die and are destroyed. But this type of hair removal does not work on those that are in a dormant state. That is why the procedure has to be repeated several times. To completely get rid of hair, you need to have four to ten sessions. What awaits you in the cosmetologist's office? Don't be afraid, nothing terrible. You will be offered to sit in a comfortable soft chair and given dark glasses that will reliably protect your eyes from bright light. Of course, no one is going to shine the light in your face. Such glasses are needed for “insurance” - simply to completely exclude all possible negative consequences. Then a special gel with a cooling effect will be applied to the epilation areas. It will help to reduce discomfort to a minimum. Then a special manipulator emitting powerful light flashes will be moved over the epilation area. As a result, you will feel only a slight tingling. By the way, if the procedure seems too painful to you, this may indicate poor-quality equipment or the “clumsiness” of the master. In this case, it is better to interrupt it and look for another salon - health is more important! All this can be successfully attributed to photoepilation, right? So is there a difference? Well, except for the price, of course. There are two opinions on this matter. Cosmetologists assure that there is a difference. Quantum epilation is done on new equipment specially developed by British scientists. The device is equipped with a built-in computer and special sensors that allow you to analyze the condition of your hair and skin and change the intensity of the effect depending on this. That is, the procedure is carried out taking into account your individual characteristics. And this means that the likelihood of burns is sharply reduced. A specially developed skin cooling system acts as additional insurance. There are two more differences. Firstly, the new device allows you to treat a larger surface, which means that the session itself will take much less time. Secondly, unlike photoepilation, this method allows you to get rid of even light hair. However, cosmetologists themselves warn that you will have to work with them much longer. Well, what about the skeptics? They, as always, question everything. According to them, quantum hair removal is nothing more than another advertising gimmick that helps to attract new clients and increase the price of a familiar procedure. The effect of this method is no better or worse than that of photoepilation. However, that's why they are skeptics...

Before and after

In order for the procedure to be successful and the result to please you, you need to prepare for it in advance. And this preparation is not always a pleasure.

• Say goodbye to the sunburn. Already two weeks before the planned procedure will have to abandon campaigns to the beach. Decided to cheat and use self-tanning? Will not work. Unfortunately, this is also prohibited. In general, it is not recommended to do quantum hair removal on a tanned body. Under the influence of the light beam, individual parts of the skin can lose part of the pigment. In this case, the body formed unsightly light spots. By the way, and after the procedure for another two weeks, you can not sunbathe. In addition, it is necessary to use protective agents with a factor of SPF 30 or higher.
• A month before the session, you need to give uphair removal with the help of plucking, epilators, bioepilation or shugaring. This is necessary in order to allow them to germinate over the surface of the skin. This moment is very important and the effect of the entire procedure depends on how responsibly you approach it. Are you bothered by vegetation above the upper lip and chin? There's nothing to be done, it will take a while to flaunt with this "decoration." Hair on the face must grow the maximum. If any hairs are too noticeable, they can be neatly trimmed with manicure scissors.

But two or three days before the session, the vegetation inThe armpit, bikini and leg areas should be carefully removed with a razor. Then by the time of the procedure they will have grown to the required length of 1-2 mm. But the face, stomach and arms cannot be treated! The master must do this manipulation himself.

• Three days before the quantum hair removal it is necessary to abandon alcohol-containing lotions and other means. And within two days after the procedure you can not use perfume, toilet water and creams.
• If you take tranquilizers, antibiotics or tanning pills, then they should be abandoned, at least two weeks before the session.
• Do not use cosmetics on the day of epilation.

There are no fewer restrictions after the procedure.

• For two weeks you can not remove the remaining hair. It is believed that during this time they should fall out on their own.
• In the first two days after epilation, it is recommended to reduce physical activity - going to the gym should be postponed.
• Try to avoid wearing tight and constricting clothing - this can cause severe irritation.
• It is better to avoid visiting for two or three weeks.swimming pool - usually the water there is chlorinated. You should also avoid going to a bathhouse or sauna. And you also need to watch the temperature of the water in the bath or shower - it should not be too hot.
• During the first week, do not do peeling - do not irritate the injured skin.
• Drink as much pure pure water as possible.

Advantages and disadvantages

The second is the need to undergo a whole course of procedures. This means that all the preparation for the sessions will have to be done more than once, which is not very pleasant. The third - the effect of the procedure is directly related to the quality of the equipment and the professionalism of the cosmetologist. It is quite difficult to determine both. Strictly speaking, there are two ways. The first is the experienced one. And there may be dangers waiting for you on it. If you get to a bad master, there is a chance not only to keep all the vegetation intact, but also to get scars and burns. And that means - to harm your health. The second way is less extreme - before going to the salon, find reviews on the Internet or consult with friends who have already been to this master. This will save you both money and health.
