Jamsil Saenae laser hair removal,
if folliculitis keeps recurring due to frequent shaving

Apogee Plus laser hair removal treatment
"Every time I shave, my skin becomes red and stings.
Would laser hair removal help?"
This is a question I often hear during laser hair removal consultations.
Many people initially start shaving every morning to keep their skin looking neat, but over time, they become concerned about post-shaving irritation and hyperpigmentation.
If red spots appear after shaving, the skin feels bumpy, or folliculitis keeps recurring, you should consider ways to reduce how often you shave.
In such cases, you may consider laser hair removal, which reduces skin irritation while selectively delivering energy to the hair follicles to suppress hair regrowth.
Now, I will explain why folliculitis keeps recurring after frequent shaving and how to choose between Apogee Plus and Accento.

- Why folliculitis keeps recurring
A razor does not only cut the hair; it also irritates the skin’s surface. Therefore, people with sensitive skin may notice red spots or a stinging sensation after shaving frequently.
In particular, repeatedly shaving the same area every day can cause irritation to build up around the openings of the hair follicles, which may lead to frequent folliculitis.
If you shave again the next day when the skin is already red, the bumpy areas may be scraped again and could remain dark, similar to hyperpigmentation, so caution is needed.

Laser hair removal process
That is why we recommend laser hair removal to people whose folliculitis keeps recurring after shaving, instead of shaving frequently, as it suppresses hair regrowth itself.
Laser hair removal works by selectively delivering energy to the melanin pigment in the hair, thereby weakening the function of the hair follicle.
As a result, you can expect a semipermanent hair removal effect without the repeated irritation caused by shaving. ^^
However, not all hair removal devices are the same, so it is important to choose a device with wavelengths suited to your hair and skin characteristics.
I will now compare the two devices and explain their features.

2. What is the Apogee Plus laser hair removal device?

Apogee Plus laser hair removal device
Apogee Plus is a hair removal device that uses a 755 nm alexandrite laser.
This wavelength has a high melanin absorption rate, making it advantageous for selectively targeting the follicles of thick, dark hair.
It is well suited to typical East Asian skin and is commonly used for hair removal on various areas of the body.

Because laser hair removal requires multiple treatment sessions, many people are concerned about pain.
Apogee Plus uses an air-cooling system to cool the skin while the laser is being delivered, which helps reduce discomfort.
Therefore, there is no need to be overly concerned, but if you are particularly sensitive to pain, please tell the medical staff during your consultation so that additional options can be considered.

3. Hair and skin types that may require Accento
Accento is a laser hair removal device that uses both a 755 nm wavelength and a 1064 nm wavelength.
-
The 755 nm wavelength has a high melanin absorption rate, making it effective for targeting shallow follicles and fine hair,
-
while the 1064 nm wavelength delivers energy deeper into the skin, making it suitable for thick hair and deep follicles.

Accento laser hair removal device
Because Accento uses the 1064 nm wavelength in addition to 755 nm, it may be used when the hair follicles are located deeper in the skin.
In particular, it can be used more broadly on areas that are difficult to cover with a single wavelength, such as areas where hair thickness varies and follicle depth is inconsistent.
As each laser hair removal device has different characteristics and may be more effective for different areas, we hope you choose the device that is suitable for you. ^^
As those considering Jamsil Saenae laser hair removal know, frequent shaving is not simply an inconvenience.
If red spots, stinging, and folliculitis keep recurring after shaving, they may be signs that your skin is continuing to be irritated.
Therefore, first check your hair thickness, treatment area, and skin reaction after shaving, then choose a device suited to your condition. I will conclude here. ^^
