Are you looking for an effective hair removal technique to get rid of unsightly hair? CtrlZ offers a laser hair removal solution for women and men of all skin types, based on the principle of selective photothermolysis.
Selective photothermolysis: how does it work?
This is a physical phenomenon that enables the target (in this case, the hair’s melanin) to capture the laser’s light energy and transform it into heat.
The aim is to thermally destroy the hair’s deep germinative structures (bulb and bulge) so that it can no longer grow back, without damaging other skin structures.
Is this technique permanent?
At CtrlZ, we’re very clear on this point: there’s no such thing as permanent hair removal! To date, no hair removal method in the world guarantees permanent results. We prefer to talk about long-lasting hair removal, because it offers a lifestyle free from the constraints of shaving or traditional hair removal methods.
How many sessions should I do?
The hair cycle takes place in several phases. Only hair in the growth phase (anagen) will be permanently eliminated at each session, i.e. 10 to 15% of hair. That’s why it’s necessary to carry out several sessions to achieve 80-95% hair removal.
Is my skin type compatible with laser hair removal?
Only hair containing sufficient melanin can be removed using this technique. This means that very light, red and white hairs cannot be treated.
At CtrlZ, we use a dual-wavelength hair-removal laser to treat all phototypes:
- The Alexandrite laser, with a wavelength of 755 nanometers, dedicated to light skin.
- The Nd-Yag laser, with a wavelength of 1064 nanometers, dedicated to darker skins.
Before each treatment session, an interview and clinical examination of your skin will be carried out by our specialized teams in order to best adapt the laser parameters for optimum effectiveness.
What are the side effects of laser hair removal?
After a laser hair removal session, you may experience various types of side effects. These reactions are not serious and usually regress spontaneously within 48-72 hours.
- A sensation of heat and sensitivity in the treated area.
- Erythema (redness) of the treated area.
- Perifollicular edema of the treated area (small swellings around the hairs).
