Smooth, Flawless Skin! Facial Vellus Hair Laser Removal for Better Makeup Adherence

Dewy Skin Vellus Hair Removal Treatment Characteristics

1. Beyond simple hair removal, it can contribute to making skin texture smoother.

The fine vellus hairs on the face are often not noticeable in daily life.

However, these vellus hairs can reduce makeup adherence or make the overall impression of the skin appear darker.

Therefore, facial vellus hair removal

Goes beyond simple hair removal, allowing you to expect changes in skin texture where makeup adheres more smoothly.

2. Immediate changes in hair can be observed after laser treatment.

When laser energy effectively reaches the vellus hairs,

Due to the thermal denaturation of the hairs, you can feel that the skin surface is smoother immediately after the treatment.

Thus, even with just one treatment, you can experience the effect of makeup adhering well to the skin.

If approximately 5 repeat treatments are performed, changes such as a slower hair growth rate or the hair itself gradually becoming thinner may appear.

This can lead to the expectation of maintaining skin that absorbs makeup well for a longer period.

3. Customized settings for facial skin can reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation and folliculitis.

The Apogee Elite Plus device is used for this treatment.

It utilizes a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, allowing for delicate power adjustments suitable for facial skin.

In addition to its built-in skin cooling system, it aims for stable hair removal treatment by comprehensively considering laser emission speed and penetration depth.

Thanks to this design, even individuals with sensitive skin can feel more comfortable and experience less discomfort during the treatment.

5. Along with the immediate smoothness felt after treatment, repeated treatments can lead to improvements in skin texture and light reflectivity.

Even with just one treatment, you can experience improved makeup adherence and changes in skin texture.

After 5 or more continuous treatments, the way light reflects off the skin surface may change,

This can lead to an improvement in the overall clear appearance of the skin, with a subtle glow.

To maintain the treatment effects, maintenance treatments can be considered every 2-3 months.

This method can help continuously maintain well-managed skin condition.

Why Laser Treatment is Effective for Vellus Hair Removal

Facial vellus hairs are fine and contain relatively less melanin, making effective removal difficult with typical shaving or waxing. Furthermore, these methods only act on the skin surface, leading to rapid hair regrowth and potentially increasing skin problems or folliculitis due to repeated irritation.

In contrast, laser hair removal works by selectively absorbing light energy of a specific wavelength into the melanin pigment in the hair follicles, generating heat. This thermal energy can help weaken the function of the hair follicles and inhibit hair regrowth. Especially for vellus hair removal on sensitive areas like the face, short-wavelength lasers (e.g., Alexandrite laser) are primarily used to minimize skin irritation.

The Apogee Elite Plus device adopts a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has a high melanin absorption rate, helping to delicately manage even light-colored and fine vellus hairs.

Furthermore, it is equipped with a powerful built-in cooling system to minimize skin irritation and concentrate energy solely on the hair, enhancing comfort during treatment.

Treatment Procedure

• Application of Numbing Cream (Optional): Numbing cream can be used to reduce potential pain during treatment, depending on individual skin sensitivity.
• Laser Application: The laser is quickly applied to a wide area at the most appropriate intensity, tailored to the patient's skin characteristics. This minimizes heat accumulation and can help tidy up fine hairs.
• Cooling and Soothing: Continuous cooling processes before and after treatment help comfort the skin and alleviate any potential irritation.

Recommended Treatment Cycle

Hair grows through three cycles: growth (anagen), regression (catagen), and resting (telogen) phases. Laser hair removal is most effective when targeting hairs in the growth phase.

Accordingly, it is generally recommended to receive 5 or more treatments at intervals of 3-4 weeks. Afterwards, maintenance treatments approximately once every 3 months can help sustain the treatment effects.
