关于激光脱毛，你需要知道的10件事
工作原理
使用医用级激光，将聚焦光束照射到毛囊上。根据您的肤色深浅，激光会分别作用于毛囊内的色素或血液供应。这种损伤会减少毛发再生量，并抑制毛发生长。激光可以有效去除身体和面部的毛发。
由于激光脱毛属于美容手术，因此必须严格遵守相关规定。预约前，请务必确认技师的资质以及设备是否获得澳大利亚药品管理局 (TGA) 的批准。
1. 避免阳光直射
如果您在激光脱毛治疗前两周内曾暴露于阳光下，我们将无法为您进行治疗，因为激光会灼伤您皮肤上的任何颜色。这意味着如果您晒伤或只是晒黑了，您可能需要更改预约时间。如果您喜欢在海滩或冲浪，为了避免任何不适，您或许应该在冬季开始治疗。
2. 除非你做激光脱毛，否则人造美黑是一种安全的美黑方式。
Make sure you haven’t been exposed to the sun for two weeks before your visit. Leave your skin untreated if you have sunburns or tans because the laser will scorch any pigment in them. Winter is a terrific season to begin your treatments, especially if you enjoy spending a lot of time in the sun (which we don’t advise!).
Unfortunately, we cannot treat skin with artificial tan in the same way that we can with a true tan. So, before your visit, throw away the bottle and apply our Balense Skin Resurfacing Cleanser to get rid of any fake tan residue.
3. Razor, not wax!
Avoid waxing, epilation, or the use of depilatory products before laser treatment because the laser can only remove hairs that still have their roots. Shave the area with a clean, sharp razor 12-14 hours before your session to prepare for your laser hair removal. Make sure to get rid of every hair, especially the longer ones that are sitting above the skin because they can burn.
If there is no lingering redness in the skin, you can shave in between your laser hair removal appointments to maintain your smoothness throughout your course of treatments.
4. Do not use deodorant.
On the day of your visit, ensure sure the treatment space is tidy and clear of skin care products like moisturizer and deodorant. It’s advisable to avoid wearing makeup if your face is receiving treatment. We advise against wearing deodorant or using any other products for 24 hours after your laser hair removal procedure, except for calming creams like Balense Recovery Cream.
5. Don’t swim after a laser
While it may be tempting to cool off on the beach or pool after laser hair removal, we advise against it for 24-48 hours. Avoid any bacteria or chemicals that may be in the water because your skin will be more sensitive than usual. You’ll soon be able to return to the beach with smooth skin, so don’t worry!
6. Integrity is important
You’ll have a free consultation with one of our helpful professionals to determine your hair and skin type before you begin your treatment. At this point, you can talk about any issues, such as ingrown hair or other problems. You must be honest with us about previous treatments and medications you’ve taken so we can treat you properly. Our skilled technicians use medical-grade equipment. You may not be a good candidate for laser hair removal if you just underwent skin treatment or are taking Roaccutane.
7. Make use of the suggested products
Your skin could look “sunburned” after treatment. A cold compress combined with a skincare product like Balense Recovery Cream is the best approach to relieve any mild pain or edema. You should avoid the sun for 48 hours because your skin will be sensitive to it, and then apply Balance UV Defiance SPF 50+ to the treated region to prevent sunburn or discoloration.
8. Schedule routine appointments
使用激光脱毛时，时机至关重要！治疗频率会影响最终效果。当毛囊中黑色素（激光的目标色素）含量丰富时，激光脱毛仅在毛发生长初期有效。为了确保所有毛囊都得到治疗，最有效的策略是每隔 4-6 周进行一次治疗。因此，我们强烈建议您安排一系列激光脱毛疗程，而不是单次治疗。请按照您的技师建议的进度进行治疗，以获得最佳效果。
9. 远离热水浴缸和健身房。
运动和热水澡会导致体温升高，从而产生汗液，而汗液容易滋生细菌。为了预防感染或毛发内生，激光脱毛后至少要等待24小时才能开始运动。
10. 设定合理的目标。
您需要多次疗程才能永久减少毛发，但绝对值得！您的专家会在免费咨询期间评估您的皮肤和毛发类型，帮助您选择合适的治疗方案。由于激素和其他生物因素会影响毛发再生，因此每个人所需的疗程次数都不同。由于部分毛发总会再生，任何激光诊所都无法保证完全脱毛，但我们会与您共同努力，力求达到最佳效果。
