Everyone loves beauty. In the hot summer, on the streets, on dates, and while swimming, there are slippery goddesses everywhere.

But is the light from a home hair removal device harmful to the eyes?

Is the light from a home hair removal device harmful to the eyes?

The light from home hair removal devices is harmful to the eyes. Frequent flashes will definitely have adverse effects on the eyes. You should try to avoid staring at the flashes for a long time. Therefore, it is best to wear goggles when using a home hair removal device.

Why should you wear goggles when using a hair removal device?

The hair removal device will release a relatively strong laser during use, which is very irritating to the eyes. Therefore, it is best to wear goggles when using the hair removal device to protect your eyes.

What happens if the light from the hair removal device hurts your eyes?

The infrared rays of the epilator can damage the eyes. The effect of infrared rays on the eyes is that the eyeball contains more fluid, which absorbs infrared rays more strongly. Therefore, when infrared rays of a certain intensity directly shine on the eyes, it can cause cataracts. The formation of cataracts is related to the effects of short-wave infrared rays. Infrared rays with wavelengths greater than 1.5 microns do not cause cataracts. It can also manifest as physical discomfort symptoms, such as sleep disorders, headaches, dizziness and other symptoms.

What are the differences between the lights of home hair removal devices?

1. Laser: In the strict sense, this is the laser that beauty salons usually refer to. It is generally used in professional medical beauty hospitals, and home hair removal devices are not commonly used because its biggest feature is that laser hair removal is very painful and has relatively low safety performance.

2.IPL: Intense Pulsed Light and Photons. After irradiating the skin, it can close abnormal pigments, destroy hair follicles, stimulate collagen regeneration and other skin beautifying effects. It was originally used for whitening, freckle removal, skin tightening and other treatments. It is now used in home hair removal devices, which can not only remove body hair but also have a skin rejuvenation effect.

3.HPL: Home laser hair removal technology is a laser developed in Israel for home use. Same principle as IPL. When light waves are irradiated onto tissues, the pigments on the hair selectively absorb most of the light waves, while the surrounding tissues will not be heated. The melanin on the hair is responsible for absorbing light waves and generating heat energy, ultimately achieving the effect of stopping hair growth. It is currently the fastest and most effective hair removal technology. (Silk'n hair removal device uses this technology)

4.ELOS: This is what we call E-light. It is a new technology that combines IPL and bipolar radio frequency (a technology commonly used in beauty equipment), which selectively and synergistically acts on the skin to remove hair and rejuvenate the skin. The combination of IPL and radiofrequency for hair removal has been proven to be safe and effective, and is 20% more effective than IPL alone. (iluminage hair removal device uses this technology)
