Features of Facial Vellus Hair Removal Treatment

1. This treatment focuses on improving skin appearance, beyond just vellus hair removal.

While facial vellus hair is fine and not easily noticeable,

it can be a factor in makeup not adhering evenly or the skin tone not appearing clear.

Vellus hair removal here

is a process that goes beyond simply removing hair; it helps improve makeup adhesion and gives the skin a natural glow.

2. Immediate changes may be observed due to the thermal denaturation response of hair during laser treatment.

When laser energy is precisely delivered to vellus hair,

the hair denatures due to heat, and the skin can feel refined immediately after.

With these changes, you can experience improved makeup adhesion even after a single treatment.

After approximately 5 repeated treatments, though individual results may vary, the growth rate of vellus hair may slow down or its density may decrease.

As a result, it can contribute to maintaining a skin condition where makeup adheres better.

3. Facial-specific treatment settings that reduce the possibility of hyperpigmentation and folliculitis

We utilize the Apogee Elite Plus laser.

The treatment is performed using a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength and output settings optimized for the face.

We aim for stable hair removal by meticulously adjusting parameters such as pulse speed and depth, along with continuous cooling during the treatment.

These laser settings help reduce discomfort for those with sensitive skin, allowing them to receive treatment more comfortably.

5. In addition to immediate smoothness, repeated treatments are expected to improve skin texture and light reflection.

Even after one treatment, you can experience improvements in makeup adhesion and skin texture.

Once treatments accumulate to 5 or more sessions, changes in the light reflection angle on the skin surface occur,

leading to an expected improvement in transparency, as if the skin has a natural glow.

Thereafter, receiving maintenance treatments every 2-3 months

can help consistently maintain the refined skin condition.

Why Laser Treatment is Recommended for Vellus Hair Removal

Facial vellus hair is characterized by its very thin diameter and low melanin content. Therefore, it is difficult to remove cleanly with common hair removal methods like shaving or waxing. These methods only act on the skin's surface, allowing hair to regrow quickly, and frequent irritation can increase the likelihood of skin troubles or folliculitis.

Laser hair removal focuses specific wavelengths of light energy on the melanin pigment in hair follicles, generating heat. This process impairs the function of the hair follicle, slowing down hair regrowth. Especially for delicate areas like the face, using shorter wavelength lasers (such as Alexandrite lasers) can be advantageous, as they reduce skin irritation while being effective for vellus hair removal.

The Apogee Elite Plus device utilizes a 755nm Alexandrite wavelength, which has a high melanin absorption rate, allowing efficient energy delivery even to light and fine vellus hair.

A powerful cooling system reduces skin irritation and precisely delivers energy to the hair follicles, helping to ensure stable treatment.

Treatment Process

• Anesthetic Cream Application (Optional): Anesthetic cream can be used to reduce discomfort during the procedure, depending on individual skin condition and pain sensitivity.
• Laser Application: Experienced medical staff quickly apply the laser to large areas of the entire face with optimized intensity, focusing on reducing unnecessary heat accumulation and refining vellus hair.
• Cooling and Soothing: A continuous cooling system is operated during the treatment to help soothe the skin and reduce irritation.

Treatment Cycle

Hair goes through three cycles: growth, catagen, and telogen. Laser hair removal is most efficient when energy is delivered to hair in the growth phase.

For this reason, it is generally recommended to receive at least 5 treatments spaced 3-4 weeks apart. Afterward, maintenance treatments approximately once every 3 months can help prolong the hair removal effect.
