What complications may arise after laser hair removal of the chin area?

Often female representatives are faced with unwanted facial hair. This problem can be easily solved using a technique such as laser hair removal of the chin area. This procedure is much more effective than hair removal using wax, medications or tweezers, since excess hair disappears once and for all. However, before you decide to undergo laser hair removal, you should find out how it is carried out, in what cases it is strictly prohibited, and what other girls who have tried this simple method of getting rid of unwanted hair say about it.

Benefits of laser hair removal for the chin area

When laser technology was discovered, a wide range of possibilities appeared in the field of cosmetology, and many different procedures emerged to make women's lives easier. One of them includes laser hair removal of the chin area. The name “Laser” is a type of abbreviation formed using the initial sounds of an English phrase (acronym), but in everyday speech in Russian the word has long been used independently. The exact decoding of light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation is “a light source with a large amount of energy that can be focused on something and converted into a narrow beam.”

The procedure will help remove excess hair forever, and you will no longer be bothered by this issue. Several sessions will provide smooth and soft skin on almost any part of the face or body. If all the requirements for the manipulation are met, then it will not harm your health at all, but will only bring benefits along with the desired effect. Hair in the chin area will no longer cause you discomfort.

One of the sources of this unpleasant phenomenon may be hormonal imbalances, so consult your doctor before signing up for the procedure. After all, if the main reason for excess hair is poor genetics, then correcting hormonal levels will not bring positive results.

Laser hair removal of the chin area will get rid of unwanted hairs for at least several years. The course will contain from five to eight sessions. The master will tell you about the specific quantity, taking into account all the individual characteristics of the body.

The procedure is popular not only among women: in the modern world, men also want to get perfectly smooth skin without excess hair, as this makes the face more neat and attractive.

Methods for removing hair on the chin in women

Finding the cause of sudden hair growth in the area of the chin and cheeks is a must, but why not walk around with thick “hair” on your face all the time? Not all of us are ready to follow Conchita's example. And if unwanted hair causes social or emotional discomfort, it should not be tolerated. Moreover, modern cosmetology offers a whole list of hair removal methods.

A beard on a woman’s face always looks strange and unaesthetic, therefore, regardless of the factors of its appearance, most people prefer to get rid of the hair rather than make it the “highlight” of their image

A standard set of “fighters” against unwanted hair - tweezers, a machine and scissors

When it comes to facial hair removal, it's impossible not to mention tweezers. Of course, women are practically inseparable from this unremarkable instrument. But still, it is effective only in cases where there are very few dark hairs. In addition, they should be visible and long enough so that they can be easily grabbed and removed. But for thin, even dark hair, this method is most likely not suitable - in most cases the hairs break off and are not pulled out by the roots. Using tweezers against a full beard will also not be effective: it takes a long time and is painful.

Regularly pulling out long vellus hairs with tweezers can cause darkening, and the next time tougher ones will grow in their place.

Tweezers are not suitable for those with sensitive or irritated skin, and are also undesirable for those with a low pain threshold.
The alternative - removing unwanted hair with a trimmer or machine - also has more disadvantages than advantages. Thanks to special attachments, the first is safe for the skin, but in general it is no different from the second: the blades cut only the visible part of the hair. As a result, the result of the procedure lasts 3–10 days, but already after 1–5 days “stumps” appear on the skin. Newly growing hairs often look darker, stiffer and spikier.

The disadvantage of shaving is not only the fragility of the result - after using a trimmer or machine, the hair grows back with stubble

But scissors, on the contrary, are underrated. Of course, they won’t remove your beard imperceptibly and for a long time, but at the same time, manicure scissors are one of the safest methods. They are not painful, will not cause skin irritation or be a harbinger of ingrowth. This is especially important if the problem appeared during pregnancy, when most types of facial depilation (epilation) are simply contraindicated. It is preferable to choose this method for those whose chin hair differs from the norm not in shade, but in length - it is safer to cut off light hairs than to tear them out by the roots.

Trading

Along with traditional methods of hair removal, there is another one - the hairs are pulled out using a special thread. In the countries of the Middle East and Asia, this procedure has been known for a long time, but in Russia it began to gain popularity not so long ago. But nevertheless, some beauty salons can offer threading as an alternative to wax.

The disadvantage of trading is that you can get used to the procedure only after learning the technique.

The average cost of such a service in a salon is 300–1500 rubles, depending on the area being treated. It is worth noting that thread is used primarily for eyebrow correction and removal of unwanted “vegetation” on the face. Unlike tweezers, it pulls out hairs not one at a time, but several at once, allowing you to get rid of even the most inconspicuous ones and creating a perfectly even contour. But still, the result lasts about the same amount of time - from 5 days to 2 weeks.

The advantage of the procedure is that, with the proper desire, trading is not so difficult to learn on your own. All you need is cotton thread, a mirror, sufficient lighting and a little patience. But this is also a minus - you still have to learn the basics of working with thread.

An unusual symbiosis of tweezers and threading is a spring designed specifically for removing facial hair - like a thread, it captures several hairs at once, but does not require skills

Preparing the “tool” itself takes no more than a minute:

You need to cut the thread and tie a loop. The length that is comfortable for work is selected individually, but in general, approximately 40–50 cm is used, no more.
Then the thread needs to be twisted several times in the center. Some people like the standard 2-3 turns, while others twist it 6 or 8 times. Here, see for yourself which is more convenient - this does not particularly affect the effectiveness of the procedure, but moving a large “knot” along the thread can be problematic.
You need to hold the resulting structure with your thumbs and forefingers. Removal is carried out by applying the thread to the problem area and successively spreading the fingers, which will ensure the movement of the “knot” from side to side. If done correctly, it will capture the hairs.

Using depilatory cream

Creams also remove only the outer part of the hair, but they do this due to a chemical reaction that destroys keratin - literally dissolving the hair in a matter of minutes, after which the remains of unwanted hair are easily removed with a special spatula. In addition, the composition, in addition to the necessary chemicals, contains components that slow down hair growth, so that smooth skin will delight you a little longer - from 1 to 3 weeks. And, as a rule, prickly stubble does not appear after using them.

You need to choose a product for chemical depilation carefully - at a minimum, there should be a mark that it is suitable for use on the face

But not everything is so rosy; using a depilatory cream not according to the instructions or simply a poor-quality composition can lead not only to the removal of unwanted hairs from the chin, but also to severe skin irritation, including burns and abscesses. Therefore, in no case should you choose them based on brand popularity, a friend’s advice, or beautiful packaging - when purchasing, you need to familiarize yourself not only with the information for the consumer, but also with the composition.

Chemical depilation is not suitable for dry (flaky) and sensitive skin, and is also ineffective against dense and excessively dark hair.

Chin waxing - at home or in a salon

Hot and cold waxes are used for depilation of large parts of the body and face. Although here I would like to immediately note that for some this method is even more painful than tearing out hairs with tweezers. Which, however, does not negate the advantages:

Hair is removed in strips in 1–3 approaches. And when using hot (warm) wax - everything at once, which, although painful, is much more time-saving than using tweezers.
Usually the first hairs begin to grow no earlier than a week after the procedure. With regular waxing, this period can be extended to a month.
The relatively low price range of wax strips makes them an affordable means of removing unwanted hair.
Their constant use will make the skin more resilient to external irritants and increase the pain threshold.

The advantage of facial wax strips is that they contain natural soothing ingredients.
The disadvantages of wax depilation include:

painful procedure;
frequent ingrown hairs;
when working with hot wax, burns are possible;
possibility of skin irritation.

Using wax over time makes the hair lighter and weaker, but in some cases the body follows the principle of counteraction, when frequent depilation leads to even more active growth.

Sugaring

The structure of the Persian depilation process is very similar to waxing, but at the same time it has two significant features. Instead of hot wax, we use a special sugar paste made from natural ingredients. At the same time, the removal itself does not occur against, but along the hair growth line - this seemingly insignificant detail reduces the likelihood of ingrown hairs and irritation.

Read more about facial sugaring in the article - Face sugaring: fast, inexpensive, long lasting.

Video: expert on facial sugar depilation

The big advantage of sugaring is that it can be used to remove hair both in the salon and at home. You don’t even have to buy sugar paste - a housewife with dexterity and culinary art can cook it herself by mixing lemon juice, water and sugar in the right proportions. There are both simple basic recipes and options for the more sophisticated or for those who, due to allergies, cannot use the “standard” sugar mixture.

Regular sugaring procedures have a cumulative effect - they gradually slow down hair growth. And lemon juice, often included in the paste, makes hair light and soft.

The main disadvantages include individual intolerance to the components (honey, citric acid, etc.) and the need to learn manual techniques. The latter, if performed incorrectly, can seriously harm the skin, leaving bruises or even bruises.

Expensive permanent hair removal procedures

Along with the above methods, salons also offer a more radical way to get rid of the pressing problem. The use of sophisticated equipment helps remove hair from the chin by destroying the follicles, which will ensure smooth skin for months or even years to come. But then get ready for the fact that you will have to undergo the complete hair removal procedure in courses, and the price of such happiness will not be cheap.

Laser hair removal is effective for hair removal, but for the first time after the procedure, the skin may be overly sensitive and inflamed.

Laser hair removal. Hair follicles are destroyed by laser radiation. At the same time, the device reacts to melanin, capturing the darkest hairs and those that are in the active growth stage - anagen. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out at least 4-5 procedures, after which the unwanted hair should fall off and no longer grow.
Photoepilation - like laser, affects melanin, but with high-impulse light.
Elos hair removal. It is a successful symbiosis of the two previous salon procedures. Hair is removed by exposing it to electricity and a light pulse simultaneously, thereby ensuring the loss of even light vellus hairs.
Electrolysis. An old method, but that is why it has proven itself well, the meaning of which is to suppress the hair root with electricity. After destroying the root system, the remaining part of the hair is pulled out with tweezers. The targeted effect is carried out using a special needle through which alternating current passes. The procedure cannot be called pleasant, and if there is a large amount of hair, it can take 5–10 sessions, but such an “individual” approach guarantees an almost complete stop of growth.
Electrolysis differs from electrolysis in that instead of alternating current, galvanic current is used to destroy the follicle. The needle is still brought to the root, but the duration of exposure increases, and the pain, on the contrary, is less pronounced.

Pros and cons of removing unwanted chin hair

Speaking about the positive side of depilation, one cannot fail to mention the reason why the procedure itself was originally conceived - albeit temporarily, but the skin on the chin becomes smooth. If you regularly remove unwanted hair, its growth will noticeably slow down over time. And additional skin care using special products after depilation in a year or two will make even coarse hairs soft and less noticeable. True, this largely depends on both the cause of hair growth and the chosen method of hair removal - incorrectly selected removal methods, on the contrary, provoke even more intense hair growth. This is the case when the dignity of the procedure has its pros and cons.

Another important factor is aesthetics. Beauty, as you know, requires sacrifice, but even if you don’t focus your attention on it, most women get very complex about unwanted facial hair. This “generous” gift of fate can easily provoke low self-esteem, self-doubt and even depression. So if dark hairs on the chin in any way affect social comfort, personal life or work, then this is a serious reason to remove them. Depilation or hair removal in this case will relieve unnecessary complexes and embarrassment.

The advantage of chin depilation, compared to which all the disadvantages pale - the absence of hair on it

Disadvantages of this type of procedure:

no matter how much hair you remove, it will still grow - even a laser does not give 100% results;
the beard often grows with hard, prickly and completely unfeminine stubble;
aggressive hair removal products can irritate or even injure the skin;
hot wax and depilatory creams leave burns if handled carelessly, sugaring can cause bruises;
sometimes the hair becomes darker and coarser than it was before the first depilation;
there is a possibility that in place of one black hair several will grow.

Even the safest methods of hair removal, not counting nail scissors, will not be able to protect against ingrown hairs.

Safety precautions when removing unwanted chin hair

Regardless of the method of hair removal, it is important to properly prepare the “working area”. The skin does not have to be steamed, but in any case clean - without traces of moisture, dirt, sweat or decorative cosmetics. Immediately before depilation, the problem area is disinfected with an antiseptic, then wiped with a napkin and, if necessary, sprinkle the skin with talcum powder or treat it with the gel necessary for the procedure (epilation).

Even if you prefer home methods of hair removal - tweezers, nail scissors, trimmer or razor - it is advisable to disinfect the tools, like the skin, by first wiping them with any antiseptic.

When it comes to salon procedures for waxing, sugaring, trading and the like, carefully monitor the cleanliness of the procedure. All tools must be disposable: cotton thread, heated wax, a portion of sugar paste, gloves, spatulas, towels, etc. Using the same material for different clients is unacceptable!

A tan, especially a recent one, in most cases, if not a contraindication, is still undesirable for most hair removal procedures.

Laser and photoepilation can disrupt the pigmentation of dark skin and even leave serious burns on the face - it all depends on the power of the equipment and the professionalism of the specialist.
If you decide to spend money on expensive hair removal methods, do not rush to sign up for the procedure at the nearest beauty salon. This is a responsible step and it’s not about the price at all - in the best case, up to 80% of the hair will be removed from the chin, and in the worst case, you will be left not only with unwanted facial hair, but also with terrible burns. For this reason, you need to take a responsible approach both to the choice of the procedure itself and to the specialist performing it. Study the available information, first consult with a cosmetologist, read reviews and only after that make your final decision.

Types of lasers

1. Ruby laser.

This option is interesting because the wavelength of red light is 694 nm. Hemoglobin practically does not absorb it, while melanin does this in the maximum permissible concentration.

The ruby laser can generate pulses of light that last about 3 ms and have an energy of up to 40–60 J/cm². Compared to other types, this is considered slow, since it creates only one flash per second, that is, the frequency is 1 Hz.

The ruby laser will only affect melanin, therefore the technology is not suitable for fair-haired clients with tanned skin.

The device will bring good results to people with the first and second types of dermis according to the Fitzpatrick classification, if the vegetation is dark in color. But with the fourth and fifth types it is unlikely to achieve a positive effect. The technology using the ruby laser is outdated, so dark-skinned women with blond hair may want to consider other options described in this article.

Interesting fact. Certain areas respond better to laser hair removal, while others do not respond as well. The beam copes with its task most effectively in areas with thin skin and thick hairs. The areas of the armpits, legs and arms, and bikini area have this characteristic. The opposite situation is observed with the back and chin, and the laser works worse there.

2. Alexandrite laser.

In the case of this device, the wavelength is 755 nm. This means that it is aimed at the area with minimal hemoglobin absorption and maximum melanin absorption.

The pulse duration is in the range of 0.25–300 ms. The Alexandrite laser has a high speed compared to the ruby laser: the indicator is 10 Hz, and the energy penetrating the tissue in one pulse is 100 J/cm².

The device will be an effective assistant for people with Fitzpatrick skin types 1–4. It works best with blond hair, which contains a small amount of melanin.

Scientists have not yet proven the fact that the pulse duration affects the final result of laser hair removal of the chin area.

If we compare other options, the alexandrite laser is the best of them in the fight against dark hair on fair skin.

3. Diode laser.

The idea behind this type of laser is to emit invisible light. Wavelength – 810 nm. The action occurs in the near-infrared spectrum. The melanin absorption zone is medium.

The pulse duration ranges from 5 to 30 m/s. The flash frequency is 2 Hz, and the energy flow on the tissue is up to 60 J/cm². The diode device is most often used for laser hair removal of the chin area to remove red and blond hair on tanned and dark skin. The end result resembles the result of the ruby version, but it is suitable for not two, but five dermis types - from the first to the fifth according to Fitzpatrick.

4. Neodymium laser.

Neodymium laser is the strongest type; it is rightfully considered the best for various hair removal options. Devices with it are also used for cosmetic rejuvenation procedures.

The wavelength is amazing: it is equal to 1080 nm and can penetrate the skin to maximum depth to affect the hair follicles. Thanks to this study and high power, the laser will be able to eliminate light hair on any skin type.

It is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of which device will do the best job with hair, because there are no universal options; each is designed for a specific type of dermis. All lasers described in this article are successfully used in cosmetology. But to understand the topic, you should consider the existing types of hair removal, their features and the reasons why the procedure has become so famous.

Laser hair removal does not guarantee 100% removal of excess hair. Those hairs that did not respond to the device in the first sessions should not be plucked out immediately with tweezers or wax, because you will complicate the process of finding a dark pigment point. If you want to get rid of residue as quickly as possible, use a regular shaving machine.

What is ELOS hair removal

ELOS (in English ELOS) is an abbreviation for the phrase “electro-optical synergy”. The method differs from laser hair removal in that the master acts on the skin in two ways, and not one, as is the case with a light pulse. ELOS technology successfully combines radio frequency and flashes of light. This combination gives excellent results regardless of skin type and hair color.

The difference from laser hair removal is that the light beam used in ELOS is not the same as in a laser device. The laser light wave is monochromatic, that is, the frequency value is equal to unity, and the length is equal to a constant (constant value). ELOS uses a polychrome beam of light with a wavelength of 580–980 nm.

Elimination of unwanted vegetation using this technology occurs due to thermal disruption of the structure of the follicle and damage to the small capillaries that feed it. The hair is destroyed along with the root, access to nutrition is blocked, and the procedure is absolutely harmless to the epithelium. With ELOS, hair removal in the chin area will not be difficult.

Laser cool hair removal (Qool)

Qool is a new solution created taking into account the latest trends and tendencies in the field of cosmetology. It was proposed by hardware specialists who took as a basis the same laser that eliminates follicles. But there are also fundamental differences from the usual method.

It is impossible to clearly determine the best method of hair removal, but laser hair removal of the chin area with Qool occupies one of the top positions in the rating list. It is also great for combating hair growth on other parts of the body.

Qool affects the skin thermally, but not with a hot, but with a cold light wave. The risk of harm to the epithelium located near the hair is minimized. The type of laser used for Qool is neodymium. With it, the wavelength can reach 1,064 nm.

The effect on hemoglobin occurs at the molecular level. Small blood vessels are coagulatively transformed, so hair growth first slows down and then stops altogether. Qool is a universal solution, a procedure suitable for any skin type. In addition, there is no need to choose a specific season to visit the master: act right now, because the session can be held at any time of the year.

The quality of laser hair removal of the chin area will directly depend on the amount of melanin in the hair of a particular client. It affects both the timing and the number of sessions. The more melanin, the better the outcome of the procedure. But this does not mean at all that laser hair removal of the chin will be ineffective for fair-haired and gray-haired visitors. The cosmetologist will simply schedule more visits.

Interaction (lack of touching the skin during the procedure) and light also influence the effectiveness.

Modern technology and the beam aimed directly at the hair follicle do not harm the client’s dermis. The skin does not participate in the process of destruction of vegetation, so the color is completely unimportant. In any case, the end result will please you.

Preparation for the diode procedure

Experts give recommendations to the visitor before laser hair removal of the face or other part of the body. 14 days before the session, it is not advisable to visit the solarium or be in the sun. Do not treat areas with products containing alcohol. Diode laser for hair removal is not used while taking antibiotics classified as tetracyclines. It is prohibited to pull the strips with tweezers, perform sugaring or wax depilation. It is only allowed to shave off unwanted hair.

Successfully following the instructions will allow you to carry out aesthetic manipulation effectively. The full cycle of getting rid of unnecessary hair on the body depends on the individual characteristics of the client and takes from 4 to 8 sessions.

If a person takes hormonal drugs, the event will take longer. At the end of the hair removal period, it is worth epilating the treated areas at least 1 ruble. in year.

Pros and cons of laser hair removal of the chin area

The laser beam “passes” directly along the hair shaft, cells with melanin are subject to heat treatment, and the follicles are destroyed. The skin only warms up a little and cools down immediately. There are no burns or injuries from laser hair removal of the chin area. With the procedure, you will get rid of not only hairs that are already visible on the skin and are 3–5 mm long, i.e. actively growing (in the anagen phase). The structure of “dormant” hair follicles, which will appear on the surface after a certain time if appropriate measures are not taken, will also be completely destroyed. But hair removal is not performed at once: you will have to attend several sessions, the number of which will be determined by a specialist.

Like any other procedure, this one has its advantages and disadvantages, which you need to know about in advance. The main disadvantage of laser hair removal is the need for a contrast in skin and hair colors, since it is melanin in the structure of vegetation that must absorb radiation.

For example, the technique will not help girls with skin types five and six according to Fitzpatrick and dark hair, or with red (light) hair and types one and two. But today this problem can still be solved; you just need to choose the right type of laser. Installations with a diode are suitable, which will work on the chin area in any case. The exception is gray hair.

Another disadvantage is the price of the sessions, but keep in mind that numerous attempts to get rid of hair with tweezers, a machine and wax throughout your life will cost you much more time and resources.

What are the advantages of laser hair removal of the chin area?

Injury to the skin, the appearance of scars and cicatrices are excluded.
There is no pain during sessions.
The effect of a perfectly smooth dermis will last up to six years, and if your hair color is directly opposite to your skin tone, then you will get rid of excess hair on your chin forever.
Short duration of one session.

Folk remedies - getting rid of unwanted hair on the chin at home

The chin is part of the face, which has quite sensitive skin, so even traditional methods of hair removal should be chosen as carefully as possible. It is better to immediately abandon such aggressive methods as ammonia, dope tincture, rubbing the problem area with a piece of pumice or a scrub made from soda and ground coffee beans. In general, you need to immediately abandon anything that could cause a burn or any potential harm to the skin. After all, the face is not the stomach, nor the legs, in which case it will be impossible to hide it behind clothes.

If your hair is short or the cause of concern is stubble, then instead of trying to get rid of the problem, you can disguise it - bleaching does a good job of this task

The first and, of course, safe way to stop feeling complex about the hairs on your chin is to try to lighten them. Of course, for a really thick beard, this method will only cause laughter, but still, with the help of bleaching, you can disguise individual black “spots” and get rid of stubble. You just need to start wiping the problem area with a medical solution of peroxide or lemon juice several times a day. Within a month, the hairs will become lighter and softer. In addition, one of the side effects of peroxide is a deterioration in the quality of the hair - it is burned out from the inside, becoming soft and brittle. Homemade masks with the addition of: improve the condition of facial skin and at the same time lighten unwanted hairs:

kefir;
turmeric;
walnut juice;
honey;
extract (decoction) of pharmaceutical chamomile;
sour cream;
grape juice;
some fruits, etc.

On the one hand, you take care of yourself, and on the other hand, there is a pleasant bonus in the form of inconspicuous hairs. Most importantly, try to avoid components that, on the contrary, promote intensive growth of vegetation in the wrong places. This nuance applies not only to homemade masks, but also to creams used in everyday life.

Another recipe:

4 tsp. well beaten egg white;
1 tsp. 35% hydrogen peroxide solution or concentrated hydroperite solution (2 tablets per 1 tablespoon of water);
1 tsp. lemon juice;
1 tsp. any flour (no additives).

All components are thoroughly mixed and applied to the chin, after 3-10 minutes the mass is washed off with ordinary warm water. If you carry out this procedure every day for a month, it will gradually lighten the hairs, make them dry and quite brittle, in order to achieve the effect of their “disappearance”.

Indications and contraindications

In the case of indications, everything is simple: those who are dissatisfied with the presence of hairs in this area turn to a laser hair removal specialist for the chin area and consider it unaesthetic or uncomfortable. The defect cannot be hidden with cosmetics or clothing, so if you want to fix the problem for a long time, this is the only way out.

But you need to analyze all the contraindications and compare them with your situation before going to a cosmetologist.

Study in advance the cases in which hair removal is strictly forbidden to avoid unpleasant consequences. Among them it is necessary to note:

diseases of the endocrine system, thyroid gland;
serious skin injuries;
inflammation in the dermis;
malignant tumors;
hormonal imbalance;
herpes;
infections and viruses at the acute stage;
diabetes;
acne of the first, second and third stages.

However, you can get rid of the last problem on the list if you determine the cause (stress, genetics, hyperandrogenism, hyperkeratosis, etc.) and cure it.

What needs to be done immediately before the procedure?

Before the procedure, you must consult a specialist who will conduct an initial examination and survey to exclude contraindications. The procedure is not performed on patients with the following pathologies and conditions:

herpes in the active stage;
cancer diseases;
decompensated diabetes mellitus;
gray or red hair;
tanned skin;
skin damage;
varicose veins;
pregnancy and lactation;
age up to 18 years.

If the examination shows that everything is fine with health and there are no restrictions, the specialist gives recommendations before laser hair removal, which are important to strictly follow and not ignore.

Description of the procedure for laser hair removal of the chin area

To avoid any undesirable consequences for the client during the procedure, you should adhere to a clear plan and perform the work step by step. Choose only proven salons where services are provided by qualified and experienced professionals. Don’t look for a cheaper option, because only modern and high-quality equipment will cope with the removal of vegetation for a long time, and possibly forever.

Before going to the salon, consult with your doctor, undergo a medical examination and finally find out whether you have contraindications for laser hair removal of the chin area. If no diseases or restrictions have been identified, prepare for the first stage.

The preparatory stage includes the following steps:

Cleansing pores and skin from dust, dirt, and residues of decorative cosmetics. The master uses lotion that does not contain alcohol.
Application of points on the dermis, thanks to which the laser will affect only the desired area. This is agreed upon in advance by the specialist and the client of the salon.
The hairs are shortened if necessary for the manipulation.
Applying an anesthetic. As a rule, a cooling gel is used for laser hair removal of the chin area.

Sometimes specialists first test the device on the surface of the visitor’s skin to make sure that the technique will not cause harm to the person.

After the preparatory stage, the chin area is treated with a nozzle designed for this purpose. The duration of action is related to the area of the dermis being epilated. At the end, the gel is removed and another product is applied to soothe the skin.

In cases where the skin is hypersensitive, there will still be slight irritation in the chin area, but it will soon pass. Redness, inflammation and discomfort will disappear a maximum of two days after the session. You can speed up the restoration of the dermis with the help of soothing or regenerating medications. You should consult with a cosmetologist about the medications that are right for you.

Important! Although laser hair removal of the chin area does not have a negative effect on the body, you will still have to follow certain recommendations for several days after the procedure. These include, for example, avoiding tanning and being in direct sunlight without protective equipment, prohibiting the use of decorative cosmetics in the hair removal area and visiting a solarium. It is advisable to avoid oils and moisturizers.

Most girls will be happy with the cost of laser hair removal of the chin area, since purchasing hair removal medications with a short-term effect for at least five years in advance will cost much more.

Of course, the price fluctuates, and this is due to the reputation, rating of the clinic, and the qualifications of the specialist, but, in general, it is 1,500–2,000 rubles. If the epilation area is large enough, the cost may be higher.

Features of male facial hair removal

Previously, the procedure was relevant only for the female half of the population, but times have changed, and today an aesthetic appearance and smooth skin are equally important for both girls and guys. Sometimes men need hair removal for medical reasons, but whatever the reason, laser hair removal of the chin area will help get rid of excess hair in any case.

Reasons for contacting a cosmetologist may be:

hair that has grown into the skin;
hard stubble;
asymmetrical hairline;
increased sweating;
irritations, red spots, cuts that cause discomfort and appear after shaving.

When dense vegetation causes inconvenience in everyday life, and the doctor claims that you have hypertrichosis, this is a reason to consult a specialist. The laser will also help if you do not want to part with your mustache and beard, but the intensity of their growth should be reduced. Modern equipment is customized for each client depending on his wishes and health status, so it will help you solve a specific problem.

Laser hair removal of the chin area in men consists of the following stages:

Applying thin stripes or dots with a cosmetic pencil to mark the area where hair needs to be removed. In our case, this is the chin area.
When the cosmetologist has discussed all the details with the client and clarified the reason for the procedure, the area is processed and part of the hair is shaved to the required length. The laser equipment turns on.
Pain relief occurs using a cooling nozzle or cryogel.
In order to get as close to the hair growth zone as possible, the specialist can periodically change the attachments.

Men's skin differs from women's in lower sensitivity and resistance to external irritants. This has been the case since ancient times, because vegetation on the skin of animals and people has always played a protective function. Men's stubble is hard and thick, but it recovers faster after laser hair removal. Therefore, in order for the chin area to be perfectly smooth, you should do about 12 sessions. The result will last up to two to three years.

Care instructions

To avoid complications after laser hair removal on the chin, you should take proper care of your skin. Sunbathing and trips to the sea should be excluded. It is also prohibited:

Use aggressive cosmetics and high-density fatty creams. Decorative cosmetics should be abandoned.
Visit swimming pools and saunas. Chlorinated water can cause an allergic reaction.
Take hot baths, wash with hot water.
Take antibiotic and hormonal medications for the first 2 weeks.
Remove growing hairs from the roots. Sugaring, depilation and other procedures can reduce the effectiveness of laser hair removal.
Engage in physical education and heavy physical work. During exercise, a person sweats; increased sweating contributes to inflammation of the recently treated area.

After the procedure, it is necessary to apply anti-inflammatory and regenerating creams and gels. You should regularly use moisturizing cosmetics.

Laser hair removal of the chin is a popular service in aesthetic cosmetology. If you prepare for the procedure correctly and know how to care for your skin after it, you can forget about the hated hairs for a long time.

Facial skin care before and after hair removal procedure

The areas of the chin, forehead, cheeks and area around the eyes are especially sensitive. They require detailed study. The skin here is thinner and more delicate than on other parts of the body. Patients choose light laser because it is harmless and gentle, does not leave cuts during the procedure, and at the same time does its job very effectively. But you should take care of your skin to prepare it for laser hair removal.

If you do not follow the recommendations below, there is a risk of irritation, burns and hyperpigmentation:

Two months before undergoing laser hair removal course for the chin area, do not resort to other methods of complete hair removal, such as sugaring, electric and wax hair removal, or pulling out hair with tweezers. This disrupts the structure of the follicle, and the laser light stream may not recognize the root. But you can continue shaving, because in this case the hairs are removed only from the surface.
Approximately two weeks before the first session, you should avoid being in direct sunlight without protection. You can’t sunbathe or go to the solarium, but this does not mean that you need to lock yourself at home and not go out anywhere in sunny weather. Just use special products (the cream must have an SPF of at least 30), if necessary, apply them several times a day.
Three days before the procedure, do not exfoliate or acid peel.
Do not use products containing alcohol - they dry out the skin.
Shaving the hair in the chin area before visiting a beauty salon is not mandatory. The cosmetologist himself will carefully treat the area and prepare it for the procedure, remove excess and ask a few questions about the desired result, the growth line.

The face requires care not only before, but also after the procedure. The specialist will treat the epilation area with a spray or gel that has a calming effect. Compliance with the recommendations will further affect the speed of skin restoration and cessation of hair growth for a long period.

Please note that you cannot:

Treat the chin area with aggressive methods (peeling, massage, deep cleansing, visiting a spa). This is permitted only three days after the last session.
Use sunscreen for two weeks after the procedure.
Sunbathe in a solarium and in the sun, as hyperpigmentation and burns are possible.
Pluck out the fluff in the chin area with tweezers. But you can shave your hair.

How long does the result last?

After the first session of hardware cosmetology, up to 40% of regrown hairs are removed. Hair that has not yet grown back cannot be removed by laser. Therefore, after 3-4 weeks a second session will be needed. The interval between the third and subsequent procedures increases to 5-7 weeks.

Usually 4-6 sessions are required. After a course of laser hair removal on the chin, hair disappears for at least 12-16 months. Then a course of correction is needed.

What undesirable consequences may occur?

Many people who decide to undergo laser hair removal of the chin area ask what unpleasant consequences they can expect after the procedure. This depends on the degree of sensitivity of the patient’s skin and the presence of allergies and other diseases, which should be immediately reported to the specialist. An allergic reaction leads to the appearance of hyperemia, but within a few days it should disappear.

In addition to inflammation and redness, bruising, swelling, and blisters may occur. There are two reasons for this - non-compliance with skin care recommendations and an unqualified specialist. Both problems can be easily resolved: choose a beauty salon carefully and follow the advice of a specialist. For example, carrying out the procedure after sunbathing is undesirable, because the body has already received a large dose of ultraviolet radiation.

It is impossible not to mention patients in whom increased vegetation is associated with hormonal imbalance. Laser or any other hair removal of the chin area will only work when you have dealt with the main source of the problem. Consult your doctor and he will prescribe medications containing the microelements your body needs. If a visitor to a beauty salon has hirsutism, then it will not be possible to completely get rid of hair, but it will become much softer and more pleasant to the touch.
