'I want to get laser hair removal,

but I'm worried that it might hurt..!'

One of the biggest concerns for people considering laser hair removal is pain.

Although hair removal can make it easier and more hygienic to manage unwanted hair and skin, quite a few people postpone the procedure because of the pain.

The laser hair removal device I would like to introduce to people in this situation is Accento.

From now on, I will explain in detail why pain occurs during laser hair removal and how Accento may help.

Why pain may occur during hair removal

The principle of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is based on the principle of selectively damaging hair follicles by using the heat generated when the melanin pigment in the hair absorbs laser energy.

Because heat is momentarily transferred to the tissue surrounding the hair follicles during this process, you may feel a stinging sensation or pain that feels like being snapped with a rubber band.

In particular, the thicker and denser the hair, the greater the amount of heat energy that may be absorbed, so the pain tends to feel relatively stronger.

In addition, areas with thin or sensitive skin, such as the face or Brazilian area, may feel more painful even when treated with the same energy.

What is Accento?

This is the Accento device at U&I in Hongdae.

Accento is a hair removal device that can use both a 755 nm alexandrite laser and a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser.

The 755 nm wavelength has a high absorption rate for melanin, so it is mainly used when treating lighter skin and coarse hair,

while the 1064 nm wavelength reaches deep into the skin and is relatively less affected by epidermal melanin, allowing it to be used for various skin types.

In other words, Accento is characterized by its ability to provide an efficient procedure by using an appropriate wavelength according to the skin color and the thickness and depth of the hair.

Why can it help prevent pain?

But how exactly can Accento help reduce the pain that may occur during hair removal?

An Accento tip at U&I in Hongdae

Accento has a cooling system that sprays cooling gas at the same time as the laser is applied.

By rapidly cooling the skin's surface at the moment the laser is applied,

it may reduce excessive heat transfer to the skin, which may lower the risk of burns and help reduce pain.

In addition, the non-contact method, in which the handpiece does not directly touch the skin—in other words, the air-shot function—may also play a significant role in reducing the burden of pain.

Because the laser is applied from the air without the handpiece touching the skin, there tends to be less skin irritation or pressure from a contact tip.

U&I in Hongdae

Because hair removal at a Hongdae dermatology clinic uses heat energy in principle, stinging or pain caused by a sensation of heat may occasionally occur.

However, using appropriate cooling functions and an appropriate application method may allow you to undergo the procedure more comfortably while reducing the burden of pain.

Therefore, if you have been postponing hair removal because of pain, I would recommend considering Accento treatment, which uses cooling and non-contact application to help prevent

pain, heat, and pressure on the skin.
