Bioepilation and depilation with wax: what's the difference?
The process of bioepilation occurs using natural means - wax and resins, which is why the prefix "bio" is present. In the beauty salons there are experienced specialists who have professional skills, and they conduct bioepilation with warm and hot wax. At home, cold wax is used for depilation, which is applied to waxed paper tapes. Warmed between the palms of the strip of cold wax stuck along the hair growth line, and they are removed against the growth of hair.
The composition of soft and hard wax used for professional bioepilation includes oil products and pine resin. For the desired consistency of the mixture, different oils are added. To obtain a soft wax, honey and beeswax are added to the resin. This mixture well removes irritation, softens, nourishes, moisturizes the skin after bioepilation.
Hot bioepilation.
Bioepilation with hot material or, as it is called, hot bioepilation is usually carried out in more sensitive areas - face, bikini area, axillary hollows. This method of hair removal in undesirable places is considered the most painless. Under the influence of heat, pores open on the skin, from which the skin relaxes and becomes less dense, which facilitates the process of removing hair follicles.
Bioepilation with hot wax should be done only in salons with the help of a knowledgeable professional, otherwise there may be unpleasant consequences - injuries or skin burns, since the temperature of the wax is 38-43 degrees. For the epilation of this method, the most favorable period for a woman is the middle of the menstrual cycle, the time of ovulation, because it is at this time that the pain sensitivity decreases in women. Also, these days, the speed of hair growth is reduced by 30-40%, which is effective when removing hair.
Warm bioepilation.
Bioepilation with warm wax, or warm bio-epilation, occurs with the help of warm wax, the temperature of which is similar to the temperature of a person's body. Wax, placed in a special cartridge, is heated to the required temperature on a specialized stand. After that, the wax is applied in the hair growth zone on the hands and feet with a special spatula in the direction of hair growth and fabric strips are superimposed on top of the wax. When the wax solidifies, the strips with the removed hairs are removed by a sharp movement from the surface of the skin against the growth of the hair. The hair is removed along with the hair follicle. After removing the wax from the skin, it is treated with special gels and oils in order to reduce discomfort and eliminate inflammation and rash. This method of bioepilation is painful enough, but what you will not do for the sake of beauty.
Before bioepilation, it is useful for women to make a peeling, after which the hairs at the roots will be raised. He will help make the procedure of bioepilation not so painful.
How often should I do bioepilation?
The drawbacks of bioepilation include not only the painfulness of the procedure, but also its short-lived effect, because the hairs do not disappear forever. But it should be noted that after each subsequent epilation, hair growth is markedly reduced. At the same time, the remaining hairs become more and more thin and brittle, and this suggests that during mechanical bio-aging, hair follicles are mechanically damaged. From this it follows that if constantly and consistently to carry out these procedures, then the hair can disappear completely after 1, 5 - 2 years. Since bioepilation with wax is carried out once a month, and even more, because of the individual characteristics of the woman's body, and considering that the length of the hair should be at least 5 mm, it takes 20 sessions to completely remove the hair.
Contraindications of bioepilation:
- infectious diseases;
- chronic skin diseases and acute diseases;
- varicose disease at the site of hair removal;
- benign neoplasms (moles, papillomas, warts) at the site of hair removal.
It is necessary to note especially one more kind of hair removal - bioepilation of the bikini zone, or "Brazilian bikini". This procedure, in the full sense of the word, is very unpleasant. And if a woman does not tolerate pain, then do not take risks, because there may be a pain shock during epilation.
But the most painful procedure is bioepilation on the face and nose - there is a large number of nerve endings. Nevertheless, despite the unpleasant and painful sensations caused, bioepilation does not lose its popularity in women.
