A 3-wave diode laser is an advanced form of laser hair removal technology that combines three different wavelengths in a single device to more effectively treat a wide range of skin types and hair colors. This technology…
Alexandrite Laser is a medical device based on the principle of laser light emission. The laser beam is generated by a crystal medium made of a material called alexandrite. The Alexandrite…
The anagen phase, also known as the growth phase, is the first part of the hair growth cycle. During this phase, the hair root actively divides and begins to produce new hair. Growth happens through…
In people with band hair (pili annulati), hair removal can be particularly challenging, primarily because of the unique structure of the hair, which is characterized by alternating dark and light bands.…
The cuticle is the outer layer of the hair shaft and plays a crucial role in protecting the inner part of the hair, the cortex, from damage. It consists of several layers of flat,…
Diode lasers are an advanced technology in the world of laser hair removal and are notable for their effectiveness on a wide range of skin and hair types. These lasers use semiconductors as a medium…
Ingrown hairs occur when hair that has been cut or grown grows back into the skin instead of breaking out through the skin. This can cause inflammation, pain, red bumps, sometimes...
Hair removal creams, also known as depilation creams, are chemical products used to remove unwanted body hair. These creams contain chemical active ingredients that dissolve the keratin structure of the hair, so that the hair...
Epilation is a method of hair removal that uses electrical devices called epilators to remove hair at the root. This method offers an effective and relatively long-lasting solution to…
The exogenous phase is the final part of the hair cycle, a phase in which the hair is expelled from the follicle. The human hair cycle consists of three main phases: anagen (growth phase), catagen (transition phase)…
The threading technique, also known as threading, is a traditional method of hair removal that originated in the Middle East and South Asia. In recent years, this technology has...
Solid-state laser hair removal uses laser light to specifically damage hair follicles, thereby reducing or eliminating the growth of unwanted hair. This method is one of the most effective…
Paradoxical hair growth, also known as hypertrichosis, refers to the phenomenon in which, after hair removal treatment, particularly laser treatments or light therapies, instead of the expected hair reduction, there is increased hair growth in the…
IPL stands for “Intense Pulsed Light”. It is a technology used in cosmetic and medical dermatology for various skin treatments including…
Cold wax is a method of hair removal that works similarly to warm wax, but without the need to heat the wax before use. Cold wax is typically sold in prepared strips, on…
The catagen phase, also known as the transition phase, is the second part of the hair growth cycle and directly follows the anagen phase. During this phase the hair stops growing and prepares…
Laser epilation, also known as laser hair removal, is a cosmetic treatment method that uses laser light to permanently reduce or remove unwanted body hair. The laser targets the melanin (the pigment) in…
Needle epilation, also known as electroepilation, is a method of permanent hair removal that uses electrical current to destroy individual hair follicles. It is considered one of the few truly permanent hair removal procedures and…
Wet shaving uses water, shaving cream, foam or gel and a sharp razor, usually with one or more blades. The steps include: Preparing the skin: Warm water or steam helps to…
The neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser, or Nd:YAG laser for short, is a type of solid-state laser that uses neodymium ions in a crystal of yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) as the active medium. These lasers are known for their versatility and effectiveness…
