Despite the fact that skin care is still considered a characteristic of girls and women, which fortunately has long changed in Albania, men's skin also needs care, treatment and maintenance. And when we talk about care it also includes hair removal.
In fact, hair has well-defined functions in the skin and in specific areas of it, strengthening the antimicrobial barrier, regulating body temperature, participating in the evaporation and aspiration function and also serving as a sensory organ. But on the other hand, especially in cases that are very dense, do not shrink or shorten, and do not perform hygiene measures properly, in addition to aesthetic appearance (which I would consider a matter of taste), can create problems by forming countless microbial deposits , which then cause infections (folliculitis). In other cases hair removal may be a necessary condition related to the profession for example the case of athletes.
Therefore, in all cases regardless of the reason, it is required to choose the best and longest method for their elimination. As for women, laser remains the best method for long-term hair reduction, especially if it does not tolerate wax or razor removal.
The laser light targets the pigment of the hair roots and is absorbed by them turning into heat, which slows down the growth process or destroys them. And after a few sessions the skin appears softer, without acne, with thinner and thinner hairs.
The chest, abdomen and back are the most common areas treated with laser in men, but also another area where laser hair reduction is necessary is the neck area. Especially in men who spend most of their time wearing a shirt and tie, thick hair (especially after applying the razor) when rubbing against the collar of the shirt causes skin irritation, acne and itching (pseudofolliculitis barbae) which can also leave definitive marks. After laser hair reduction, after 2 sessions, this irritating phenomenon fades significantly.
Fortunately with the development of laser technology this process is painless and performed in a shorter time. At Vivia Clinic we have the Soprano ICE laser, which combines 3 technologies (Diode, Alexandrite and Nd Yag) to achieve maximum efficiency in hair reduction, in an average number of 6-8 sessions performed at a time distance of 6-8 week.
If the recommendations are followed and performed within the set deadlines, men will have a permanent reduction of 50-85% of the hairs in the treated area.
