Why should you avoid using hair removal devices on areas with moles?

Summer is coming, and many girls will try their best to remove body hair, and hair removal device is a good choice. However, there are many precautions when using a precision instrument like a hair removal device. So, why should hair removal devices avoid moles?

Why should hair removal devices avoid moles

Do not use hair removal devices on areas with moles because it is easy to cause damage to the mole's surface, infection and inflammation, which may cause pain, bleeding, and even cause lesions in the mole and induce skin cancer. In addition, the hair removal device mainly uses weak pulsed light to achieve the effect of hair removal, which generates heat. When the hair removal device encounters our mole, the heat will be doubled, which is likely to cause burns. Therefore, if you have moles on your skin, you should avoid using a hair removal device, pay attention to maintenance, and avoid thermal stimulation.

What should I pay attention to when using a hair removal device?

1. Shaving in advance

You need to shave off the epidermal hair the day before using the epilator, otherwise the light from the epilator cannot reach the roots of the hair follicles, which will directly affect the hair removal effect. In addition, there will be an unpleasant smell of burnt hair when using the epilator.

2. Vertical Skin

When using the hair removal device, be sure to aim the light outlet at the area to be hair removed and keep it vertically close to the skin. If it is not completely close or not vertical enough, light may leak out and damage the eyes.

3. Avoid duplication

When using a hair removal device, you must not repeatedly irradiate the same area, as this will damage the skin and may cause erythema or blisters.

4. Avoid tattoos or wounds

If you have tattoos or wounds, you must avoid these areas. You cannot use hair removal because the principle of hair removal is to allow light energy to act on the melanin in the hair follicles to hypnotize them. However, tattoos or areas with darker skin will accumulate a lot of melanin, so using a hair removal device will affect the skin itself.

5. Pay attention to sun protection

After hair removal, you should pay attention to strengthening sun protection to prevent the hair removal area from darkening due to pigmentation. Therefore, the best time for hair removal is early spring. If you want to remove hair in the summer, you must apply sunscreen and bring a parasol when going out.
