Which epilation is better: laser or elos?
The fight against the growth of unwanted hair has been going on for more than a hundred years. In different periods of time, various methods were used, effective and not very effective. Now, epilation methods are popular, which, unlike depilation, are able to completely remove hair from the hair follicle. This approach will eliminate the problems of ingrown hairs, skin irritation and the need to constantly repeat manipulations to remove hair.
Laser hair removal is considered the most popular method, but Elos hair removal is also popular. Let us consider in more detail what is the difference between these methods and which method is better to choose.
Laser hair removal
In this case, getting rid of hair occurs with the help of heat, which is formed due to laser radiation. The laser beam penetrates a few millimeters deep into the skin, where it has a destructive effect on the follicles. A powerful and short-term impulse affects only the hair, or rather the melanin pigment, so there is no damage to surrounding tissues. Accordingly, the more melanin the hair contains, the more effective the removal process will be. Therefore, laser hair removal is recommended for owners of dark hair, but is poorly suited for gray, red and white hairs.
There is no pain during laser hair removal. At the same time, some short-term discomfort is possible. If individual sensitivity does not allow the procedure, then a special cream or gel containing a local anesthetic can be used.
Laser hair removal is the only method that can guarantee permanent removal of unwanted hairs. The procedure requires some preparatory work and the absence of contraindications. On average, from 5 to 10 sessions are held at different intervals. The session usually lasts from 10 to 30 minutes.
Elos hair removal
This method uses a combination of several types of energy: radio frequency and optical. For this, a special device is used. Either a laser or intense light radiation (photoepilation) can be used as optical energy. RF energy manifests itself in the use of bipolar electric current. The combination of two different energy sources allows you to effectively get rid of unwanted hair.
Ultimately, manipulations lead to hair loss due to the destruction of its nutrient medium.
Conclusion
Returning to the question “what is better?", It should be clarified that elos epilation is able to get rid of, including blond hair. Therefore, you can safely use laser hair removal if you have dark hair and elos hair removal if you have light hair.
The elos epilation procedure is faster, but such a session is more expensive. At the same time, if you experience discomfort during a laser hair removal session, it is recommended to try epilation using an Elos device. Its use practically does not cause discomfort, during the procedure, only a slight tingling and pleasant warmth are felt. Elos hair removal is also suitable for those girls who cannot afford to give up tanning even for two weeks.
It is recommended to try different methods and find the most suitable one for yourself through personal experience. It is also not forbidden to use two different methods for different skin areas. So, in the bikini area, if you have hypersensitivity, you can epilate with an Elos device, and use a laser on your arms and legs.
