As the scorching, hot weather continues, summer vacation is approaching. Many people look into hair removal in summer because clothing becomes shorter than in other seasons. Summer clothing easily exposes the armpits, arms, and legs, and hair growing in these areas can be a cause for concern.

The hair on the human body serves to protect the skin. However, from a cosmetic perspective, it does not give a clean look, so many people try to get rid of it. Many people are self-removing their hair using a razor because it is simple and can be done alone. However, the effect of self-hair removal is temporary, and repeated hair removal may cause hair to thicken or skin to become rough, and in severe cases, skin damage, folliculitis, and pigmentation may occur.

Accordingly, there is a growing interest in laser hair removal, which enables reliable hair removal by fundamentally destroying the hair roots. Laser hair removal is a semi-permanent procedure that destroys the hair roots from which hair grows and prevents hair from growing. The number of treatments varies depending on the individual's skin condition and area, but you can usually see results by performing the treatment 5 to 10 times at 4 to 6 week intervals. It is applied to various areas such as the philtrum, forehead, arms, armpits, calves, and thighs.

Laser hair removal may seem simple, but each person's skin condition is different, so it is best to apply the laser treatment based on an accurate diagnosis from a medical staff. Therefore, you can increase your satisfaction by finding an experienced medical staff, receiving thorough consultation, and receiving customized hair removal treatment.

JAYJUN Dermatology Director Kang Minji said, “Among various laser devices, hair removal treatment using Clarity laser equipment has the advantage of minimizing damage to skin tissue and minimizing pain during the procedure through its powerful cooling function. In addition, there is almost no redness of the skin after the procedure, and it can solve complex skin problems such as redness and pigmentation as well as hair removal.”

Director Kang continued, “In order to receive laser hair removal treatment effectively, it is recommended to perform a customized treatment using a laser device dedicated to hair removal. Since each person has individual differences depending on the number of hair follicles and the amount or thickness of hair, you must consult with a medical staff before performing the treatment.”

Meanwhile, when choosing a medical institution, checking whether it has verified laser equipment and has established a safety system can increase the satisfaction of the procedure.
