Two misunderstandings about depilation instrument
Many girls have two misunderstandings about hair removal instrument. One is that the hair removal instrument can completely remove hair after being used twice, and the other is the so-called permanent hair removal, that is, the hair will never grow again after being used up. In fact, hair removal is a protracted war. Whether you go to a beauty salon or choose a home hair removal instrument, you can't do it for more than a dozen rounds. Generally speaking, hair removal in beauty salons takes three to six months, and the validity period of household hair removal instruments also needs at least two months, and then there will be irregular post-maintenance.
However, not all hair removal instruments are easy to use.
As a hair star with sensitive skin, I have been struggling to find a suitable hair removal instrument. I have bought three models, but the pain is unbearable and the erythema has not been removed, so I am not sure about the effect of the hair removal instrument. Until last year 1 1 month, I bought a grand depilation instrument. When I met my bosom friend, I finally solved the hair problem that has been bothering me for many years. Let's express our opinions and tell you the real-life test process of using this hair removal instrument.
Ge Lan's first experience: it was really gentle and painless.
The reason why I chose Glen hair removal instrument is actually very accidental, that is, in a douban sharing, I saw someone say that this product was originally imported from Israel, and gentle hair removal was particularly effective. However, I am still worried because of the psychological shadow left by using other brands of hair removal instruments before buying. After all, if you buy another unsuitable one, your hair won't come off, and you don't want to say it's red and swollen, wasting money. So, I carefully searched all the user comments of the brand's official flagship store one by one, and went to various word-of-mouth platforms such as Xiaohongshu, Zhihu and Post Bar to collect and compare them, and confirmed that there was no information such as pain during hair removal, skin allergies and burns. With the feeling of trying again, I started this grand hair removal instrument.
I officially started using the hair removal instrument from June165438+1October last year. According to the official recommendation, I used it once a week and used it six times until the end of February. It has been more than four months now, and there is no obvious hair growth in the depilated parts of the whole body, and the skin is much brighter.
The following figure shows my specific use cycle, the blue box indicates the shaving date, and the yellow box indicates the date of using the depilator.
Remember: the day before hair removal, you must shave off the excess hair first. Otherwise, not only the air is full of burnt smell during hair removal, but also the light energy intake into hair follicles will be hindered because the hair is too long, which will directly affect the hair removal effect.
When you really depilate, it's actually easier than you think. Plug in the power supply, select the gear, make the fuselage vertical 90 degrees, and the light outlet is close to the skin. The machine will rely on intelligent induction and automatic stripping, and there is no need to press buttons in the whole process, which can be said to be very convenient.
This depilation instrument has five gears. When using it for the first time, it is best to start from a low level and then increase it step by step to find the strength that suits you. I started with the first gear. Very comfortable, it doesn't hurt at all. Then shift to the second or third gear, it still doesn't hurt, and it is very gentle. When I moved to the fourth gear, I could obviously feel that my bald head was a little warm. Finally, I got up the courage and tried the fifth gear. I feel a little hot in my legs and arms, but I feel obvious pain when I take off the hair under my armpit. Therefore, I still honestly used the fourth gear.
There is no discomfort or adverse reaction during the whole hair removal process. The first whole body hair removal took nearly half an hour, including my various attempts in the process of hair removal.
This hair removal instrument has two light-emitting modes, namely, inching light (once, once) and sliding light (continuously). According to my actual combat experience, it is best to use sliding mode in areas with large areas such as arms and legs, which saves 5-7 minutes compared with inching mode.
With the attitude of getting to the bottom of the matter, I made some investigations on why Glen hair removal instrument is milder and painless than other hair removal instruments: this is mainly because Glen hair removal instrument uses HPL technology, while most hair removal instruments in the market use IPL technology.
So, what is the connection and difference between IPL and HPL? Say literacy first.
IPL, full name of intense pulsed light, belongs to intense pulsed light; HPL, full name of household pulse lamp, belongs to household pulse lamp. Both of them belong to the category of pulsed light, and both are photon hair removal. The basic principle is to let melanin in hair follicles absorb the heat of light, so that the hair roots atrophy destructively and Mao Mao will not grow for a long time.
IPL was applied to home depilation instrument earlier than HPL. Compared with laser hair removal in hospitals and beauty salons, IPL is safer, less painful and less harmful to the skin, and does not require professional operation. However, its energy is relatively strong, and the skin of orientals is thin and it is very painful to use. HPL adjusted the energy parameters on the basis of IPL technology. On the premise of keeping the energy intensity unchanged, shorten the luminous time and increase the peak energy per unit time, so that the lighting will be faster and more accurate, and the swish will pass. Not only will it be painless to use, but the hair removal effect will be better.
It can be said that HPL is an upgraded version of IPL technology, which is famous for its gentleness and safety. It is a non-invasive hair removal method, which does not harm the skin, and is mild and safe.
Stage effect display: hair removal+skin rejuvenation
Not much to say, just go to the picture.
Take my arm for example. After I used it for the first time, I obviously felt that the speed of hair growth became slow and my hair gradually softened. Before the second depilation, the hair follicles became thinner and thinner. After the third depilation, it basically reached a qualitative leap. Although a few soft hairs have grown, the whole arm looks much cleaner, much whiter than before hair removal, and the skin is much more delicate.
The following is a series of contrast pictures before and after I used the hair removal instrument in the second month.
Underarm:
Legs:
Face:
As can be seen from the photos, most parts of the body have basically lost their tenacious Mao Mao after four or five times of use, and a little black hair follicle can be seen under their armpits, so they were maintained twice later.
Generally speaking, Glen hair removal instrument has good hair removal effect and skin rejuvenation effect. It turns out that light energy can not only effectively remove hair, but also stimulate the proliferation of collagen under the skin, thus achieving the therapeutic effect of eliminating wrinkles and shrinking pores. But this can't be used indiscriminately. Some depilators have too much energy and are not suitable for skin rejuvenation. Glen hair removal instrument can be divided into different grades. The first grade is mild and can be used as daily skin care.
Simple and time-saving post-care
We mentioned earlier that hair removal is a protracted war, that is, post-maintenance
As we all know, hair growth is a physiological phenomenon and a natural law, which has its own growth cycle, namely, growth period, regression period and static period. Every time hair removal, light energy will only act on the growing hair, so it will take at least some time to let most hair sleep for a long time. This is the service cycle of the hair removal instrument that we will often mention. But as long as people are alive, one day, these sleeping Mao Mao will wake up again, so they still need aftercare.
Therefore, even those hair removal instruments marked with permanent hair removal need nursing after completing a hair removal cycle according to the growth law of hair. According to the difference of hair removal instrument and personal skin, the interval of post-care is different for everyone.
Since I took it off for more than 4 months, I have simply taken care of my armpits, and other hair removal parts have been kept relatively clean. In fact, post-care is very simple and does not take long. It will be done in a few minutes.
In addition to the above, it is worth mentioning that the body weight of this hair removal instrument is only 2 16g, which is very light and portable. The official standard storage box, cleaning cloth and disinfection base are very suitable for business travelers and people who love cleanliness. After each use, it can be directly put into the box for cleaning and disinfection. For such a depilation instrument with an effective flash of 400,000 and enough people, it is really suitable for sharing with your good girlfriend.
Finally, I want to remind you that the best time for hair removal is winter and spring. Because you can't expose yourself to the sun after hair removal, otherwise it will lead to melanin precipitation and black skin. If it is summer hair removal, it is necessary to do a good job of sun protection. It's already April and spring is just right. If you want a beautiful summer, you must act quickly and be a slippery girl together!
