镭射除毛须知

谁适合做镭射除毛？有禁忌吗？

随着科技的进步，除毛已经渐渐普遍，现在的科技很少会产生副作用。通常皮肤白皙，毛发粗黑，这些特征对镭射反应比较理想。东方人皮肤表层内有比较多的黑色素会影响镭射吸收也能产生色素沉淀，所以除毛时，镭射机器和能量选择很重要，有经验的医师也是纳入考量的因素之一。

一般人都可以进行除毛镭射，但哪些人是不适合的呢?

• 皮肤比较黑，对光感受性较强的人容易灼伤。

• 色素沉淀或晒黑者会影响镭射穿透，最好等色素消退再做镭射。

• 当除毛部位有伤口或发炎必须让皮肤保持良好的状况。

• 西方人或皮肤颜色较浅的人对镭射反应比较差。

• 怀孕或哺乳期间需让医师充分评估后才进行除毛治疗，这虽然不会造成不良影响但可能会让孕妇增加心理负担。

除毛后毛囊和毛发有什么反应？

治疗后的两个星期是毛发排除期，毛囊被破坏再慢慢将毛根排除。治疗后有些毛发会长的比一般的快。

治疗后一个月，毛囊被镭射去除，毛根在治疗后脱落，皮肤也会变得光滑细致。镭射治疗后破坏约20%的毛囊，治疗后毛根受破坏，毛孔本身也会因此萎缩而变小，但还是有些未完全破坏的毛发进入休止期，经过一段时间还是会陆续长出来。

镭射除毛治疗需要几次疗程才能看到效果？

治疗视每个人的发量而定。6-8次的除毛治疗是达到永久除毛的基本次数，这通常要用半年的时间完成这个治疗以达到理想效果。在施打镭射的期间，毛发生长速度会减慢也会变得比较细软。可是有时候即使进行了10次除毛镭射治疗仍可能会有极少量的细毛无法永久性的去除。原因是对于较细的毛发，毛囊对镭射的吸光能力会下降。

镭射除毛会不会痛？

会有感觉但是疼痛是在可以忍受的范围内。第一次施打镭射会比较痛，那是因为毛发越粗越痛，之后疼痛感会慢慢减少。

永久除毛有后遗症吗？

有人说‘永久除毛会让毛囊坏死’，‘腋下除毛后不会再流汗’，‘除毛过的部位不会再长毛但其他部位会长毛’。

坊间流传的都是错误的信息。永久除毛不会让毛囊坏死以及对健康也不会有阻碍。除毛囊和除汗腺是不一样的领域，所以永久除毛不等于除汗腺。至于除掉的毛囊会从其他部位长出来是没有根据的。

进行除毛疗程前要先刮毛吗？

留一点毛发再进行除毛治疗效果会更好。因为留一点黑头毛囊才能吸收光能，但毛发太长也会分散能量。最好的作法是在接受治疗前3到5天刮，这样治疗当天长出来的毛发长度就刚刚好。

Sleep

Pic from (http://www.healthcare-online.org)

When you stay late at night everyday and eat after 8pm may be a risk factor in gaining weight. According to a study from Northwestern Medicine, the late sleepers consumed 248 more calories a day. Besides that, lack of sleep causes you to eat more throughout the day and not have enough energy for the next day. The best solution is to get enough rest for seven to nine hours every night. It is also a simple and effective way to keep your weight loss goals on the right track.

Drink loads of water

Drink a full glass of water with your meals to fill your belly and also to drink water all the day. Avoid the high-calorie beverages that have no nutritional value such as sweet tea, alcohol, soda, flavored coffee and tea.

Chew your food slowly. The more time it will take you to finish a meal can prevent you from overeating. Chewing your food twice as long as normally would instantly help you to control your portion sizes and it will decrease the calorie consumption. It takes time for your brain to feel that you are full, so eating slowly can maintain your weight.

Eat breakfast

Don’t skip your breakfast because your blood sugar will drop. Therefore, you become hungry and have less energy that will lead you to eat larger portion at your lunch or dinner. Also, people who skip breakfast compensate later in the day with more refined carbohydrates and fats. But when you eat breakfast, your body feel satisfies and full, making you less likely to overeat the rest of the day.

Does Laser Hurt?

Does laser hurt the skin?

Many people think that lasers make skin become thinner and weak. Well, lasers do not cause skin to become weak and thin. In fact, the controlled heating and wound action of a laser treatment actually induces the natural skin reaction of collagen and elastin formation to replace the damaged skin. Laser provider should have well understanding of the limitations of the laser equipment which applying to your skin. By that, even you do repeatedly of laser treatment will not harm your skin.

Second thing you have to really careful about is where you choose to get your laser treatment done. Medi-spas and salons often offer laser treatment such as hair removal treatment which is much cheaper than at doctor’s clinics, but the staff is often not well-trained or experienced. Remember, safety is a key concern. Therefore, your best bet is always a board certified doctor’s clinic.
