Sinchon Laser Hair Removal: Why Results Differ Even with the Same Device

Why results differ even with the same device

Hongdae Sinchon U&I Clinic

"Even if I shave,

it grows back again very quickly."

"How many laser hair removal sessions do I need?"

"It’s the same laser hair removal,

so why is it taking me longer?"

During consultations, quite a few people shared concerns like these.

Among those looking into Sinchon laser hair removal, some said they were uncomfortable with having to shave repeatedly, while others were considering hair removal because of skin irritation.

However, laser hair removal is not simply a procedure that removes hair. Because it works by delivering energy to the hair follicles, the process may vary depending on the thickness of the hair, its growth cycle, and the device used.

Today, let’s take a look at the principles step by step so you can understand why.^^

What are the treatment principles and number of sessions?

Principles of laser hair removal

During consultations, many people ask, "Does the hair stop growing after just one laser session?" or "Why do I need multiple sessions?"

Laser hair removal is not simply a procedure that removes visible hair.

The laser reacts with the melanin pigment in the hair, generating thermal energy that reaches the hair follicle. This gradually reduces the follicle’s ability to produce hair.

In simple terms, a hair follicle is the root-like structure inside the skin that produces hair.

While shaving is a process that trims hair that has already grown out, laser hair removal can be thought of as a method that targets the place where the hair grows.

However, not all hairs grow at the same time.

Hair growth cycle

Hair repeatedly cycles through the growth, regression, and resting phases. Laser treatment responds best to hairs in the growth phase, when they contain abundant melanin.

That is why it is difficult to treat all hair in just one session.

Because the hairs in the growth phase differ at each treatment, sessions are performed repeatedly at set intervals.

Typically, treatment is often performed five or more times at intervals of four to six weeks. However, the required number of sessions varies depending on the thickness and density of the hair and the treatment area.

Therefore, rather than deciding on a fixed number of sessions, it is important to monitor changes throughout the treatment process.

What are the features of Accento?

You may have heard that the device used for laser hair removal is important.

Among the various devices available, today I’ll focus on Accento.^^

When explaining the features of Accento, one of the first points to mention is that it can use two wavelengths.

Sinchon laser hair removal Accento

It uses a 755 nm Alexandrite laser and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG wavelength.

The 755 nm Alexandrite laser has a relatively high absorption rate for melanin, so it tends to work efficiently on thick, dark hair.

In contrast, the 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser can reach deeper into the skin, so it may also be considered for thick, deep follicles or relatively darker skin tones.

Therefore, rather than using only one approach, Accento can utilize one of the two wavelengths—or a combination of both—depending on the condition of the skin and the characteristics of the hair.

Another feature of Accento is that it is equipped with a cooling system.

Accento

Because laser hair removal uses thermal energy, many people feel warmth during the procedure.

Accento is designed to use a cooling function that cools the skin’s surface, which may help reduce the discomfort associated with heat.

This allows for a relatively broad approach suited to different skin types and hair characteristics, and various spot sizes can be used to treat larger areas as well.

After treatment, side effects such as redness, warmth, a burning sensation, and, in rare cases, blisters or hyperpigmentation may occur.

Why do the results differ?

During consultations, quite a few people ask, "My friend said it was almost finished after five sessions. Why is my hair still growing?"

In fact, even when the same device is used, the effects of laser hair removal may vary from person to person.

Because the laser ultimately targets the hair and hair follicles, results can differ due to each person’s individual conditions.

One of the factors with a major impact is the thickness and density of the hair.

Differences in results according to hair thickness and density

In general, thick, dark hair contains abundant melanin and tends to respond well to laser treatment. However, when the hair is especially dense or there is a large amount of hair, more sessions may be required.

The energy settings and treatment intervals can also affect the results.

If the energy is too low for the condition of the hair, it may be difficult to achieve a sufficient response. Efficiency may also decrease if the treatment intervals are too short or too long without considering the hair growth cycle.

That is why results cannot be identical for everyone, even when the same Accento device is used.

Before treatment, the hair’s current thickness and density, the condition of the skin, and the response to previous treatments are reviewed together so that the energy and treatment cycle can be adjusted.

Today, I’ve put together this post to help those considering Sinchon laser hair removal.

If you are considering laser hair removal, what ultimately matters is not the device name itself, but whether the treatment is being carried out in a way that suits the current condition of your skin and hair.

It is important to discuss your concerns thoroughly and find the approach that is right for you.
