AFT-epilation: comments about the procedure

Modern female representatives pay enough attention to their appearance. However, it is not uncommon for chagrin to deliver excess hair in various parts of the body. Solve this problem is necessary, as discontent with their appearance will invariably affect the mood. The market of services in the field of cosmetology offers a 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 consider one of the methods of removing unwanted hair on the body, which is very popular - AFT-epilation (Advanced Fluorescence Technology).

Effectiveness of the method

The world of technologies now does not get tired to surprise consumers of services, constantly releasing novelties in various fields, including in cosmetology. In particular, optimal solutions are proposed for solving the above problem. The method of hair removal considered in this article is painless and has practically no side effects. In the system, which uses AFT-epilation, the principles of the unique technology In Motion - the removal of the hair cover in motion are realized. With this method, the treated area of the skin is gradually heated, thereby gently preparing the epidermis for the beam. Among the various methods - this is the most painless and sparing.

By whom and how is AFT hair removal designed?

This species was invented in Israel. The company-developer set a goal to make the procedure of photoepilation at the level of maximum safety. As a result, the harm caused to the skin is minimized. The problem is that the photoepilation on the surface is affected by a wide range (range) of light waves. As a consequence, a person's skin gets burns and redness. Therefore, a procedure called AFT-epilation, is much preferable, since the process takes place with the greatest energy flow with the smallest skin traumatism. The method is carried out using special equipment (Harmony XL), equipped with a filter and a nozzle for uniform distribution of the beam stream.

The developer Alma Lasers took into account all the disadvantages of methods of hair removal using laser and photoepilation (soreness, skin discoloration). This allowed to prevent negative impact.

Difference and advantages

A procedure called AFT-epilation is an advanced photoepilation, where technological innovations are introduced. It is important to take into account that the term by which this procedure is named does not quite correspond to technology. It has no relation to lasers and is significantly different from photo and laser epilations. Photoepilation is a deep impact of the light flux on the required areas of the skin. It is painful and removes only dark, tangible more than others hairs. Such hair removal is not very effective for light tone and gray hair. Laser - also enters into the category of deep and painful. It is rarely performed in the bikini zone because of the special sensitivity of this area (the likelihood of burns is high). A feature of AFT-epilation is that it works on a cumulative basis. Its technology is safe and has no side effects. Advantages of the procedure are as follows:

• The filter converts some of the useless spectrum (beams up to 700 - 755 nanometers) into near-infrared radiation. This means that those rays that normally damage the skin undergo a change and the risk of burns is minimized;
• The procedure can be used for dark skin (light-type above III);
• No risk of pigmentation;
• There are no restrictions on sunbathing and visiting the solarium due to the redistribution of energy between light waves of different lengths from useless to efficient.

It is important not to confuse this type of hair removal with a diode (laser).

How does it affect health? AFT-epilation: consumer reviews

Since this procedure is painless and does not cause burns - it is applicable on any skin areas regardless of color. When the process is in progress, self-cooling occurs. Therefore among other methods AFT-epilation is most preferable. The testimonies left by people who have tried this technique show that the procedure is safe and does not harm health. Customers note that the nozzle constantly moves, excluding any overheating, and the mechanism is continuous and smooth. Many like the pleasant sensations associated with the gradual arrival of heat on the skin area. This allows you to destroy the hair follicles, eliminating burns and pigmentation. Those who have this procedure say that you can remove hair from all parts of the body. Girls are especially concerned about the issue of hair removal on the face. Judging by what customers say about this method, like AFT hair removal (reviews) - remove facial hair simply, effectively and quickly. Women are pleased that the skin becomes soft and smooth. It is important that special care after the procedure is not required - this is also liked by customers. Also, users note that you should not worry, if you have done hair removal in the summer - you can safely sunbathe in the sun.

The nuances of the process

The day before the epilation, you need:

• Shave your hair;
• Do not use any cosmetics for skin treatment.

On average, the procedure takes from twenty minutes to one hour. This depends on the size of the treated area. When epilation occurs, the patient feels tingling (tingling) in a very light, painless form. Both the cosmetologist and the patient must wear protective goggles. The specialist will be able to determine the number of necessary procedures to achieve the desired effect immediately after the initial examination and on the basis of the result, which will show the first AFT-epilation. What does this explain is the explanation of the abbreviation - Advanced Fluorescence Technology (advanced fluorescence technology).

It happens that the number of procedures varies. Maximum - this is nine sessions, but most often - four to six (depending on the type of skin and hair). The effect occurs approximately eight (ten) days. In order to avoid all side effects, it is necessary to pay attention to contraindications. If, for any reason, the procedure has been done after a fresh tan has fallen on the skin, then undesirable shades and redness may appear. You can get rid of them with the help of special creams (ointments). What preparation to buy, the treating cosmetologist will by all means prompt.

Technology

This method uses an improved 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 there is a process of photoepilation, the hair follicle is damaged by the action of a light wave (radiation), whose length is 500 - 1200 nanometers. Melanin (pigment) absorbs short rays (450 - 600 nanometers), but such radiation can not 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 remains light radiation with waves of a length of 755 - 1200 nanometers.

The nozzles are designed so that a special system evenly distributes radiation, which allows using a rectangular rather than a peak pulse. The rectangular ray acts much more intensively and with a longer time of influence on the melanin that is in the hair. At the same time, energy costs will be lower, as will the morbidity of the procedure. Great opportunities for AFT-epilation are achieved through skin cooling (Peltier effect) and In Motion technology. As a result, the ability to treat the skin surface, excluding hair loss and overheating, provides AFT-epilation. The photo of the device intended for such a procedure is presented in the article.

Contraindications

Those contraindications that do not allow using such a method as AFT-epilation (how often to do the procedure, the cosmetician will tell) - must be taken into account before agreeing to it. Otherwise, it is possible to do harm to health or aggravate already existing problems. Contraindications include:

• Diseases or problems with the cardiovascular system;
• Various inflammatory (especially chronic) processes;
• Scratches and unhealed wounds on the skin;
• Propensity to allergic reactions;
• Pregnancy and lactation;
• Oncological diseases;
• A tan obtained recently.

Recommendations

In order to avoid any unpleasant consequences from the procedure, it is worth taking into account some recommendations:

• The procedure must be performed only in specialized clinics (cosmetology);
• The clinic should be equipped in accordance with modern technologies;
• Compulsory observance of necessary hygiene by both a cosmetologist and a patient;
• The specialist-cosmetologist should be a certified doctor with thorough preparation for carrying out such epilation.

Observing all these rules, it is possible with a high degree of probability to be sure of a successful outcome and obtaining the expected result.
