Subtleties of the procedure

So, after quality preparation, you can proceed to the main step.

• The first thing to do is set the required power. To do this, you can start from the lowest level. If you do not feel the characteristic pain, then you should increase the level.

IMPORTANT! It is strictly forbidden to endure severe pain. This indicates that the power is too high, which may subsequently cause harm to the skin. Most often, manufacturers themselves indicate which level is best to adhere to. If you are new to this matter, it is recommended to start from the axillary area.

• As a result, when you present the device to the site, the light on it should light up. If the light is green or blue, it means you did everything right and the surface fully matches the settings. If the red light comes on, it is worth rechecking the device indicators.
• Thus, the unit must be driven horizontally and at an angle of 45 degrees. That's when you can achieve maximum effect.

REFERENCE! If you know your most sensitive areas, then it is best to first coat them with a gel specifically designed for this purpose.

• The epilator will make a sound itself, so you will know that the procedure is complete.

As for the time, it depends on where you are removing hair. For example:

1. It takes 20 to 30 minutes for your feet.
2. Bikini - 15–20 min.
3. Deep bikini - from 20 min.
4. Armpits - from 15 min.

Skin care after photoepilation

Of course, it is important to take care of your skin after it has been subjected to such machinations. To avoid redness, it is recommended to avoid visiting saunas, steam baths, sunbathing on the beach and even hot temperatures. If you still have some problems, then next time reduce the level of the device. And during the day, immediately after the procedure, you do not need to take a cold or contrast shower. In addition, wear clothes that fit tightly to the skin. Do not use hair removal products other than razors. All these recommendations should be followed until the last course of use. In situations where itching or burning occurs, it is worth applying a thin layer of Panthenol or any other ointment for burns. If you are still concerned about the condition of your skin, then it is advisable to consult a specialist and not delay this matter until later.

How often can the procedure be performed at home?

If you follow the recommendations, the time period will be from five to six weeks. The break between sessions should not exceed four weeks. It is important to remember that the result will be timely, that is, the number of hairs will decrease over time. On average, feet are treated once every two months.

As for the face and the whole body, this is every fourth and sixth week, respectively. It is also worth noting the importance of a repeat course. It should begin in about seven to eight months. In a different outcome, the hair will gradually return as the vegetation increases.
