Modern female representatives pay enough attention to their appearance. However, often distressing delivers excess hair in various parts of the body. It is necessary to solve this problem, since dissatisfaction with one's appearance will invariably affect the mood. The market for services in the field of cosmetology offers a fairly wide range of possible procedures for hair removal and personal care. However, the more offers, the more difficult it is to understand them and make the right choice. This article will discuss one of the methods for removing excess body hair, which is very popular - AFT hair removal (Advanced Fluorescence Technology).
Efficiency of the method
The world of technology is currently never tired of surprising consumers of services, constantly releasing new products in various fields, including cosmetology. In particular, the best options for solving the above problem are proposed. The hair removal method discussed in this article is painless and has virtually no side effects. The system used by AFT epilation uses the principles of the unique In Motion technology - hair removal in motion. With this method, the treated area of the skin is gradually heated, thereby gently preparing the epidermis for exposure to the beam. Among the various methods, this one is the most painless and gentle.
Who and how developed AFT epilation for hair removal?
This species was invented in Israel. The developer company set itself the task of making the photoepilation procedure at the level of maximum safety. As a result, the damage caused to the skin is minimized. The problem is that during photoepilation, a wide spectrum (range) of light waves acts on the surface. As a result, the human skin gets burns and redness. Therefore, a procedure called AFT-epilation is much more preferable, since the process proceeds with the highest energy flow with the least trauma to the skin. The method is carried out using special equipment (Harmony XL) equipped with a filter and a nozzle for even distribution of the beam flux.
The developer of Alma Lasers took into account all the shortcomings of methods for removing hair using a laser and photoepilation (soreness, discoloration of the skin). This helped prevent negative impacts.
Difference and benefits
Procedure called AFT-epilation is an advanced photoepilation, where technological innovations are introduced. It is important to bear in mind that the term that this procedure is called does not quite correspond to the technology. It has nothing to do with lasers and differs significantly from photo and laser hair removal. Photoepilation is a deep effect of the light flux on the required areas of the skin. It is painful and removes only dark, tangible hairs more than others. Such hair removal is not very effective for light colors and gray hair. Laser - also included in the category of deep and painful. It is rarely performed in the bikini area due to the special sensitivity of this area (there is a high probability of burns). The peculiarity of AFT hair removal is that it works on a cumulative basis. Its technology is safe and has no side effects. The benefits of the procedure are as follows:
- filter converts part of the useless spectrum (rays up to 700 - 755 nanometers) into near-infrared radiation. This means that those rays that normally damage the skin are modified and the risk of burns is minimized;
- treatment can be used for dark skin (light type above III);
- no risk of age spots;
- no restrictions on sunbathing and solarium visits due to the redistribution of energy between light waves of different lengths from useless to effective.
It is important not to confuse this type of hair removal with diode (laser) hair removal.
How AFT hair removal affects he alth: consumer reviews
Because suchthe procedure is painless and does not cause burns - it is applicable to any area of the skin, regardless of color. When the process is going on, self-cooling occurs. Therefore, among other methods, AFT epilation is most preferable. The reviews left by people who have tried this technique on themselves indicate that the procedure is safe and does not harm he alth. Customers note that the nozzle is constantly moving, excluding any overheating, and the mechanism is continuous and smooth. Many people like the pleasant sensations associated with the gradual supply of heat to the skin area. This allows you to destroy the hair follicles, eliminating burns and pigmentation. Those who have used this procedure claim that hair can be removed on any part of the body. Girls are especially concerned about the issue of facial hair removal. Judging by what customers say about such a method as AFT hair removal (reviews), removing facial hair is simple, effective and fast. Women are pleased that the skin becomes soft and smooth. It is important that special care after the procedure is not required - clients also like it. Also, users note that you should not worry if you did hair removal in the summer - you can fearlessly sunbathe in the sun.
Nuances of the process
The day before epilation you need:
- shave hair;
- do not use any cosmetics to treat the skin.
On average, the procedure takes from twenty minutes to one hour. It depends on the size of the processedzones. When epilation occurs, the patient feels a tingling (tingling) sensation in a very mild, painless form. Both the beautician and the patient must wear safety glasses. The specialist will be able to determine the number of necessary procedures to achieve the desired effect immediately after the initial examination and based on the result that the first AFT epilation will show. What it is explains the decoding of the abbreviation - Advanced Fluorescence Technology (advanced fluorescent technology).
It happens that the number of procedures varies. The maximum is nine sessions, but most often four or six (depending on the type of skin and hair). The effect comes approximately in eight (ten) days. In order to avoid all side effects, it is necessary to pay attention to contraindications. If, for any reason, the procedure was done after a fresh tan has fallen on the skin, then unwanted shades and redness may appear. You can get rid of them with the help of special creams (ointments). The attending cosmetologist will certainly tell you which drug to buy.
Technology
This method uses advanced fluorescent technology, the essence of which is the use of special filters to cut off the spectrum of photoepilation. Such rays are safe for hair removal. When the process of photoepilation is in progress, the hair follicle is damaged by the action of a light wave (radiation), the length of which is 500 - 1200 nanometers. Melanin (pigment) best absorbs short rays (450 - 600nanometers), but such radiation is unable to penetrate to a sufficient depth. And the filters of devices designed for AFT-epilation cut off the left side of the wave spectrum, after which light radiation with waves of 755-1200 nanometers is left.
The nozzles are designed so that a special system evenly distributes the radiation, allowing the use of a rectangular rather than a peak pulse. The rectangular beam acts much more intensively and with a longer time of influence on melanin, which is part of the hair. At the same time, energy costs will be less, as well as the pain of the procedure. Greater possibilities of AFT epilation are achieved by skin cooling (Peltier effect) and In Motion technology. As a result, the ability to treat the skin surface, excluding skipping hair and overheating, is provided by AFT epilation. A photo of a device designed for such a procedure is presented in the article.
Contraindications
Those contraindications that do not allow the use of such a method as AFT-epilation (how often to do the procedure, the cosmetologist will tell you) must be taken into account before agreeing to it. Otherwise, you can harm your he alth or aggravate existing problems. Contraindications include:
- diseases or problems with the cardiovascular system;
- inflammatory (especially chronic) processes of various nature;
- scratches and unhealed skin wounds;
- prone to allergic reactions;
- pregnancy and lactation;
- oncological diseases;
- Recently tanned.
Recommendations
In order for the procedure to have no unpleasant consequences, it is worth considering some recommendations:
- the procedure should be done only in specialized clinics (cosmetology);
- the clinic should be equipped with modern technology;
- obligatory observance of the necessary hygiene by both the beautician and the patient;
- beautician must be a licensed medical doctor with a thorough training to perform such hair removal.
Following all these rules, you can most likely be sure of a successful outcome and getting the expected result.
