Laser hair removal for women

Laser hair removal

Removing belly hair is an increasingly popular desire for women who want a long-lasting solution. Laser technology targets the melanin in hair, effectively destroying the follicle and slowing regrowth.

Before starting any treatment, we strongly advise you to make an appointment with a dermatologist or one of our laser hair removal specialists to ensure that the treatment is appropriate for your situation. This includes the exclusion of any contraindications or particular skin sensitivities. To maintain the effectiveness of the treatment, avoid plucking or pulling hair several weeks before the first session.

During sessions, you may feel a slight tingling or a sensation of heat, but rest assured that our state-of-the-art equipment features cooling systems designed to reduce your discomfort. A soothing gel is also applied after each treatment, helping to soothe your skin and minimize any redness or irritation.

Finally, after each session, it’s crucial to regularly apply sunscreen to the treated area. As your skin is more vulnerable to UV rays after treatment, this precaution reduces the risk of damage while preserving the quality of the results. Scrupulously follow the advice of our professionals to care for your post-waxing skin and prolong the effect of the procedure.

Why is there hair on the stomach?

The presence of hair on the belly is mainly due to the action of hormones, notably testosterone, which is more abundant in men. This hormone stimulates the growth of thicker, darker hair.

Although less concentrated in women, you may notice some downy hair on the belly, albeit less pronounced. During pregnancy, on the other hand, the increase in hormones can accentuate this hairiness. We are here to support you with our hair removal solutions, with all due consideration for your situation and with discretion.

Reasons to be cautious with female tummy tuck laser hair removal

When considering laser hair removal on the abdomen, a certain amount of caution is called for. The skin sensitivity of this area can lead to unexpected reactions to laser treatment, with the risk of redness or burn-like lesions. On the other hand, the abdomen can present additional difficulties, such as the risk of stimulating increased hair growth, known as paradoxical regrowth, following laser procedures.

At Epilium, we stress the importance of evaluating each situation carefully. The characteristics of abdominal hair vary greatly from person to person, requiring a personalized strategy. We make a point of carrying out a thorough examination of the area to be treated, so that we can customize the laser parameters for each of our customers.

It’s essential to obtain expert advice and analysis before starting laser hair removal on the abdomen. The medical expertise we offer at Epilium & Skin is crucial to preventing complications and ensuring optimum safety for all our patients.

Potential side effects of laser hair removal from the abdomen

During laser hair removal on the abdomen, you may experience temporary reddening of the treated skin. This redness may be accompanied by a sensation of heat similar to that of a sunburn. Slight swelling may also appear around areas where hair has been removed, sometimes inducing itching, a common post-treatment side effect.

A change in skin pigmentation, such as darkening (hyperpigmentation) or lightening (hypopigmentation) of the skin, may also occur. These alterations are normally ephemeral, but there is a small risk of them becoming permanent.

A less common but possible phenomenon is paradoxical hair regrowth. At Epilium & Skin, we preferelectric hair removal for the abdomen, especially for female customers, to reduce the likelihood of this type of regrowth.

At Epilium & Skin, we emphasize the importance of treatment by qualified specialists, to ensure personalized care.

The alternative: permanent hair removal from the abdomen using electrolysis

At Epilium & Skin Paris, we offer a definitive method for saying goodbye to unwanted hair on the stomach: electrolysis hair removal. Backed by five decades of technological improvements, this technique is incredibly precise and effective in removing every type of hair, whatever its color, thanks to an individualized treatment.

Electrolysis differs from laser treatment in its ability to treat all types of hair, including the lightest, blondest and reddest. Our approach involves gently inserting an ultra-fine needle into each hair follicle to apply an electric current. This destroys the bulb, preventing hair from growing back and offering a lasting solution for a smooth tummy.

At Epilium, our experienced practitioners perform this procedure with exceptional meticulousness, guaranteeing indiscriminate removal of hair from the abdomen. You benefit from a tailor-made experience that’s both safe and adapted to your specific needs, resulting in skin that’s refined and soft to the touch.

Who can benefit from permanent tummy tuck hair removal?

At Epilium, we’re faced with a number of cases where permanent electrolysis hair removal is the best approach for dealing with recalcitrant hair growth. Whether you have thin skin or light, fair hair inaccessible to laser treatment, this method is ideal. We’ve found that hormonal variations, particularly as women approach menopause, can lead to unwanted hair growth on the belly. Electric hair removal is an effective strategy for dealing with this situation.

At our clinic, this technique is free from the risk of paradoxical regrowth, offering you a reliable solution for superficial or thicker hair. For our male customers, permanent hair removal is often a finishing step after laser hair removal for impeccable results, targeting each hair independently without stimulating others to grow.

We also recommend this technique as a preventive measure against ingrown hairs on the tummy, helping you to maintain smooth, clear skin.

Steps in the process of permanent hair removal from the abdomen by electrolysis

At Epilium & Skin Paris, we carefully assess whether electrolysis is suitable for your abdominal skin, which is often more delicate. A typical session lasts twenty minutes, adjusted according to hair regrowth. Your comfort and the precision of the treatment guide the frequency of sessions to achieve permanent tummy hair removal.

Course of a permanent tummy tuck session at Epilium & Skin

At Epilium & Skin, every tummy hair removal session is carried out with precision. Our specialists carefully insert a fine probe into each of your abdominal hair follicles. This probe reaches the bulb to deliver a high-frequency electrical pulse that lasts only a few moments. The energy generated generates heat that neutralizes the bulb, preventing hair regrowth.

Once the thermal effect has been applied, we meticulously remove the hairs with precision using tweezers. The procedure is designed to be definitive, with long-lasting effects.

Before you begin your hair removal journey, an initial assessment with one of our aesthetic physicians is necessary to tailor the treatment to your specific needs. During hair removal, we will provide you with protective eyewear to safeguard your eyes.
