You should definitely know this

Omokgyo laser hair removal

Hello.

I’m Kim Jin-hyun, the chief director of U&I Clinic Mokdong Branch.

"Does laser hair removal work neatly? Will there be pain or side effects?"

Doing hair removal at home every time is not only troublesome, but it can also leave wounds on the skin or lead to issues such as folliculitis.

That is why more and more people are considering laser hair removal as a fundamental solution.

But when you actually get started, you may find yourself worrying, "Will it really work?" or "Will it hurt too much?"

Today, I’d like to help ease those concerns and organize the information you should know in order to get satisfying results.

Omokgyo laser hair removal Why it is difficult to finish in just one session

"Why do the hair grow again even after one treatment?"

This is one of the questions we often hear in the clinic, and to give the answer first: it is because of the hair growth cycle.

Our hair continues to grow and shed while repeating a three-stage cycle called the growth phase, regression phase, and resting phase.

Laser energy works by reacting to hair in the growth phase, when there is plenty of melanin pigment and the follicle cells are actively working, and destroying the hair root.

The problem is that not all of the hair on our body are in the same stage of the cycle.

Hair that was in the regression phase or resting phase at the time of treatment is barely affected by the laser, so it grows back over time.

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

Of course, you may think, "Why not just use stronger energy all at once?" However, excessive energy is not recommended because it may raise concerns about burns or pigmentation.

When repeated consistently at 4- to 6-week intervals, matching the time when hairs in the growth phase reappear, you can finally expect an overall reduction in the amount of hair and a thinning of hair thickness.

Omokgyo laser hair removal How does it work?

Hair removal is not simply about burning the hair; the key technology is selectively targeting only the follicle while minimizing skin damage.

That is why it is worth paying attention to alexandrite laser devices with a 755nm wavelength, such as Apogee Plus.

Apogee Plus

The laser wavelength of Apogee Plus has a high absorption rate for melanin pigment, which tends to produce a favorable response for the skin type of East Asians with thick hair and fair skin.

One especially important point is that it uses a non-contact aerial shot method.

Compared with contact methods that involve applying gel and rubbing it onto the skin, it is more hygienic and has the advantage of allowing careful treatment even in curved areas.

Some people worry, "Won’t laser be too hot and painful?" but Apogee Plus is equipped with a powerful air cooling system.

A cool breeze is released the moment the laser is delivered, reducing pain, so even those sensitive to pain can receive treatment with relative comfort.

However, no matter how good the device is, the appropriate energy level differs depending on each person’s hair thickness and density.

If the hair is fine or lightly colored, delicate adjustments are needed accordingly, so the staff’s level of expertise should be just as important a selection criterion as the device’s performance.

Omokgyo laser hair removal Things to check before the procedure

"Is there anything I should check before laser hair removal?"

It is not uncommon for people to come in thinking laser hair removal is simple, only to find that the procedure cannot be done on the day because of their skin condition.

Because laser hair removal involves applying thermal energy to the follicles, we recommend proceeding when the skin is in a healthy condition.

If you recently tanned or have been excessively exposed to ultraviolet rays and your skin has become darkly tanned, the laser may react to the pigment on the surface of the skin rather than the hair, increasing the risk of burns.

Also, if you have just plucked the hair with tweezers or had waxing done, there will be no target (hair) inside the follicle, so the effectiveness will inevitably be reduced.

Therefore, before the procedure, it is best not to pluck the hair and to come in after shaving only.

After the procedure, temporary redness, itching, or folliculitis may appear, but these usually improve naturally. However, careful care such as applying moisturizer and sunscreen thoroughly is necessary.

Because each person differs in skin sensitivity and whether they have pigment-related conditions, the first step should be to check whether your skin is currently in a condition that can safely receive laser treatment.

That is the way to lower the risk of side effects and expect the smooth skin texture you want.

Today, I’ve shared information that may be helpful for those curious about Omokgyo laser hair removal.

Because repeated procedures are needed, it is most important to create a customized plan that takes into account each person’s hair growth cycle and thickness.

Depending on your skin condition, please go through a thorough diagnosis process and decide on the method that suits your skin.
