When you want to wear sexy suspenders and short skirts in summer, annoying body hair often becomes a "beauty stumbling block" - small black stubble grows quickly after shaving, the stinging pain of waxing is daunting, and hair removal creams may cause skin sensitivity. In contrast, home hair removal devices have become the choice of more and more people due to their "high efficiency, durability, and convenience". But you may be curious: Why can a beam of light really "remove" hair, and even make it grow slower and thinner?
To understand the effectiveness of hair removal devices, let's take a look at the problems of traditional hair removal methods. For example:
A razor actually only cuts off the hair on the surface of the skin, but the hair follicles are intact. Moreover, after shaving, the cross-section of the hair becomes blunt and round, and the newly grown hair feels harder and appears thicker visually. This is the source of the illusion that "the more you shave, the thicker it becomes".
Although waxing can remove the hair shaft and part of the hair root, it cannot completely destroy the hair follicles. What's more troublesome is that repeated pulling may stimulate the hair follicles, causing the hair to grow more messy and even cause folliculitis.
The core advantage of the hair removal device is that it is not a "symptomatic treatment" but a "root cause treatment" - it directly acts on the hair follicles through technical means to inhibit hair regeneration from the root.
Whether it is a common IPL hair removal device or a laser hair removal device, the core principle is inseparable from "selective photothermal effect". The light of the hair removal device uses this feature: the melanin in the hair follicles will preferentially absorb the light of a specific wavelength emitted by the hair removal device and convert the light energy into heat energy. When the temperature rises to a certain level, the hair follicle tissue will be gently destroyed and lose the ability to continue to grow hair.
What's more clever is that this "heating" is selective - there is little melanin in the surrounding skin tissue, so it will not absorb a lot of heat, thus avoiding burns.
Why can't the hair removal device completely remove hair at one time? This is related to the growth law of hair.
Our hair is in three stages:
At this time, the hair follicles are in full function, the hair roots are full of nutrients, the melanin content is the highest, and the hair is most sensitive to the light of the hair removal device. It is the best time for treatment.
The hair follicles begin to shrink, the hair stops growing, the melanin decreases, and the light absorption capacity decreases.
The hair follicles enter "dormancy" and the hair will fall off naturally. At this time, there is almost no melanin, and the effect of the hair removal device is limited.
In other words, at any time, there is always a part of the hair on the skin in the "insensitive" catagen or telogen phase, so the hair removal device needs to be used multiple times to cover the growth phase of all hairs, gradually making the hair follicles lose vitality.
After persistent use, the hair will become thinner and thinner, lighter, and even stop growing. Because after the healthy hair follicles are gently destroyed, even if there are residual hairs, they have lost their original rough texture.
Traditional methods can only deal with existing hair, while hair removal devices target hair follicles, which reduces the ability of hair regeneration from the root.
Many people worry that hair removal devices will burn the skin, but now home hair removal devices have intelligent temperature control technology, such as only emitting light when in contact with the skin, real-time temperature monitoring and energy adjustment, and even multi-level energy adjustment designed for different skin colors and hair thickness. As long as you follow the instructions, it can work under the premise of safety.
Occasionally, you will hear people say that "hair removal devices are useless", but in fact, many times there is a problem with the way they are used:
The long hair on the surface will absorb most of the light, resulting in insufficient heat absorbed by the hair follicles, so in order to achieve a better hair removal effect, you need to shave first.
Everyone has different hair thickness and skin color, and you need to choose the energy that suits you. Too low energy may not damage the hair follicles.
If you miss the hair growth period and then go for hair removal, the treatment cycle will be extended.
The skin after hair removal is more sensitive to ultraviolet rays, and exposure to the sun will stimulate the hair follicles, affect the effect, and even cause pigmentation.
The effectiveness of hair removal devices is essentially the clever use of technology on human physiological laws - using precise light energy to target hair follicles, without damaging the skin, gradually making the hair lose its growth momentum. The whole process is efficient, safe and convenient.
Of course, hair removal is not achieved overnight, it requires a little patience and persistence. When you look at the increasingly smooth skin in the mirror, you will find that this "one-time investment, long-term benefits" method is far more worthwhile than repeatedly dealing with body hair. After all, the confidence of beauty is often hidden in these "invisible details".
