Features of Water-Shine Vellus Hair Removal

1. Beyond simple vellus hair removal, it can help improve skin texture.

Vellus hair on the face is often fine and faint, making it hard to see.

However, it can also cause makeup to lift or make skin texture appear dull.

This vellus hair removal treatment

aims not just to remove hair, but to achieve skin where makeup adheres smoothly and well.

2. Changes in hair can be observed immediately upon laser irradiation.

When laser energy reaches the vellus hair,

thermal denaturation of the hair occurs, and you can feel your skin becoming smoother immediately after the procedure.

Even with a single treatment, you can experience improved makeup adherence.

After approximately 5 repeated treatments, hair growth can significantly slow down or a state where hair does not grow well can be maintained.

As a result, you can expect a sustained skin condition that accepts makeup well.

3. Customized settings for facial use, reducing the possibility of pigmentation and folliculitis

Utilizes Apogee Elite Plus.

It uses a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength and is delicately adjusted to an output suitable for the facial area.

It aims for stable hair removal through a precisely controlled cooling system and adjustable irradiation speed and depth settings.

Laser settings are adjusted to reduce the burden of treatment even for those with sensitive skin.

5. Experience immediate smoothness, and with repeated treatments, skin texture and light reflection can improve.

Even with just one treatment, you can feel a change in how your skin feels when applying makeup and in its texture.

If you receive treatments consistently for 5 sessions or more, the light reflection properties of your skin surface may change.

This can lead to a translucent appearance, as if your skin has a subtle glow.

After that, if you receive maintenance treatments every 2-3 months,

you can be helped to consistently maintain a refined skin condition.

Why is laser treatment recommended for vellus hair removal?

Vellus hair on the face is fine and has a low amount of melanin pigment, making it difficult to remove efficiently with conventional methods such as shaving or waxing. Furthermore, these methods only act on the skin surface, leading to rapid hair regrowth and an increased risk of skin problems or folliculitis due to continuous physical irritation.

In contrast, laser hair removal utilizes light energy of a specific wavelength, which is selectively absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair follicles. This energy is converted into heat, weakening the follicle function and consequently inhibiting hair regrowth. For delicate areas like the face, short-wavelength lasers, such as Alexandrite lasers, can be particularly useful in reducing concerns about skin damage when removing vellus hair.

The Apogee Elite Plus device uses a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has a high melanin absorption rate. This is a factor that allows for more effective hair removal, even for light and fine vellus hair.

A powerful cooling system helps reduce skin irritation and is designed to precisely deliver energy only to the hair, which can lower the treatment burden.

Treatment Process

• Anesthetic Cream Application (Optional): To reduce potential discomfort during the procedure, anesthetic cream may be applied, considering the individual's skin condition.
• Laser Irradiation: The laser is quickly applied to a wide area with optimal intensity, considering skin type and hair characteristics. This aims to efficiently manage fine hair by reducing unnecessary heat accumulation.
• Cooling and Soothing Care: Throughout the entire procedure, continuous cooling is provided to the skin to aid in calming it and to minimize external irritation.

Recommended Treatment Cycle

Hair goes through three cycles: growth, regression, and resting. Laser hair removal is particularly effective on hair in the growth phase.

Accordingly, we typically suggest 5 or more treatments at intervals of 3-4 weeks. Afterwards, maintenance treatments can be performed approximately once every 3 months to help sustain the desired effects for longer.
