Bioepilation: contraindications
Like any other cosmetic procedure, wax bioepilation has a number of contraindications:
- During menstruation. During this period, there is a significant increase in the pain threshold, as a result of which the procedure will bring strong pain sensations. Experienced cosmetologists recommend performing bioepilation in the middle of the cycle.
- Various violations of the integrity of the skin. These include abrasions, scratches, wounds, and cuts. If bioepilation is carried out in the presence of wounds, a woman will feel not only severe pain, but there is a risk of infection and infection.
- Violation of the circulatory process, diabetes. In the presence of these problems, after the bioepilation, complications of diseases may develop, which will become chronic.
- Having a medical condition such as varicose veins (Read about varicose veins cream VaricoBooster).
- If on the surface of the treated area of the skin have moles or other formations.
Shugaring has significantly fewer contraindications:
- Diabetes.
- Inflammatory or infectious skin diseases.
Shugaring at home
Sugaring strongly resembles bioepilation with wax, but in this case it will be necessary to prepare a special caramel mass (sugar paste) in advance - sugar (500 g) is mixed with plain water (80 g) and a little lemon juice is added. The mixture is poured into a ladle and warmed up over minimal heat, while the mass must be constantly stirred, otherwise it will burn. As soon as the mixture starts to boil, it is boiled for 25 minutes and removed from the stove. Pour hot caramel into a prepared container. Bioepilation is performed in the same way as with wax.
A small piece of sugar mass is kneaded in the hands and applied to the treated area of the skin, then it is torn off with a sharp movement in the direction against the growth of the hair. It is believed that shugaring does not cause such strong painful sensations, since sugar is able to envelop all the hairs much more densely, while not sticking to the skin.
How is the bioepilation procedure performed at home?
This hair removal procedure is very simple to perform and is carried out in several main stages.
Skin preparation
First, the skin should be cleansed with any antiseptic, and then with an emollient. Then talcum powder is applied, which has a mild drying effect.
Epilation
Wax is applied in an even and thin layer along the entire hairline, after which it is removed with one sharp movement using a paper strip.
The final stage
At this stage, various soothing and moisturizing agents (lotions, creams, serums) will be used.
Advantages of bioepilation
It is not for nothing that this procedure has become one of the most popular and demanded, as it has a lot of advantages:
- It is universal. It can be used to treat any part of the body - bikini area, face, arms, legs, back, chest.
- Hair of various types, colors and structures is easily removed.
- After this procedure, the achieved result will last from 2 to 4 weeks, depending on the rate of hair growth.
- Can be used to treat voluminous areas of the skin.
- You can carry out the procedure easily and independently at home.
- During bioepilation, the hair follicle will be injured and after several procedures the hair will stop growing completely.
Disadvantages of bioepilation
The main disadvantage of this hair removal procedure is its soreness. Mechanical removal of hairs causes a lot of unpleasant sensations, especially with tough and very dense vegetation.
It is also worth considering that there is a risk of getting burned if too hot wax is used during the procedure. Uneven hair removal is possible if the wax is too low in temperature.
How do I take care of my skin after the procedure?
In order for the skin to remain smooth and tender for a long time after bio-epilation, you need to take proper care of it. During the first few days, you should try to avoid visiting solariums, saunas, baths. For a while, stop using scrubs and peels, as well as other means.
It is necessary to regularly use a variety of agents that have a slowing effect on the hair growth process. Thanks to this, the skin will remain smooth and silky for much longer.
