Permanent Hair Removal

Permanent hair removal is the term used to describe the non-growth of hair for at least 3 months. The larger the proportion of the total hair plant, the longer the hair removal is. During permanent hair removal, not only the hair but also the hair papilla, i.e. the area of hair regeneration, is removed or destroyed.

There are different, often very expensive methods of permanent hair removal: On the one hand, the hair can be permanently removed by laser treatment.In this process, the hair is destroyed by heat energy at the hair root. Since the heat energy only reaches the color pigments (melanin), the surrounding skin can be protected. However, one session is not enough, usually about 8-12 treatments for optimal and permanent hair removal.

On the other hand, there is the possibility to remove the hair in the long term in the form of light energy. In this case the skin area is illuminated extensively and especially in the hair roots there is such a high heat formation that they are destroyed. The disadvantage is that the entire hair area as such is not completely spared from energy, so it can come after the treatment to redness, swelling and scabbing.

Electro depilation is also a method of permanent hair treatment. This technique is also based on supplying the cells responsible for hair growth with so much energy that they die. In this case, a fine probe is inserted into the hair root and the energy is applied in electrical form.
