Is the hair removal device gone after the times have been used up? What should I pay attention to after using the hair removal device?

Nowadays, many people have hair removal devices at home. Because of its affordable price and guaranteed quality, more and more beauty-loving women are attracted to it. So how often do people use hair removal devices? How should we use it correctly? Let us discuss it with the editor.

Is there no more hair removal device after using it up?

Yes. The number of flashes of an epilator actually refers to its service life. When the service life is reached, it cannot be used anymore. Therefore, an epilator that cannot flash cannot be used anymore. Each hair removal device has a limited number of uses. When the number of uses reaches the upper limit, the hair removal device stops flashing and therefore cannot work.

Precautions after using the hair removal device

After using a home hair removal device, be sure to use some body lotion with a mild pH value and simple moisturizing ingredients. Body lotion can be used to moisturize and soothe the skin after hair removal to prevent the skin from becoming too dry, fragile and sensitive. After hair removal, the skin accumulates heat, so it is best to take a shower a little later. The water temperature should not exceed 50℃ and you can take a shower with warm water. Remember not to use shower gel and skin care products containing alcohol and photosensitive fragrances, which can usually be exposed to water two or three days after hair removal. Pay attention to the diet and avoid eating raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods.

What is the working principle of the hair removal device

The laser in the hair removal device penetrates the skin epidermis to reach the hair follicles. The melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the laser light energy, producing a photothermal effect. The light energy is converted into heat energy, the temperature of the hair follicles rises rapidly, and the hair follicles coagulate and necrotize, thereby removing the hair.

The lasers used in hair removal devices mainly include

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.

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.
