Arm laser hair removal in Dnipro

Arm laser hair removal has one feature that is easy to underestimate: the arms are exposed to the sun all year. Even in winter the skin of the forearms receives more ultraviolet than, say, the skin of the thighs. Its effective phototype therefore shifts from season to season, and settings that are safe in December may be too high in May. At GENEVITY the physician therefore checks your skin tone before every session, not only at the first consultation. The Splendor X allows switching from the alexandrite wavelength of 755 nm to the Nd:YAG at 1064 nm, which does not react to skin pigment and works safely on tanned skin. Arm hair is uneven too: on the forearms it is usually finer and lighter, on the upper arms denser. Fine hair absorbs less energy, so forearms often need more sessions than upper arms. The hands and fingers are treated separately - the skin there is thin and the hairs few, so the physician works precisely with a small spot size.

The main difficulty with an arm course is the sun. A fresh tan raises the risk of burns and pigmentation, so in summer you either switch to the Nd:YAG wavelength or allow a pause after time at the beach. Starting in autumn works best: you can complete the main 6-8 sessions before summer and only need maintenance once short sleeves come out. It is not a hard rule, though - with correctly chosen settings the arms can be treated all year. Care during the course: - SPF 50 on exposed areas every day, reapplied every 2-3 hours in the sun; - no sauna, swimming pool or prolonged sun for two days after each session; - daily moisturiser, since dry skin tolerates the treatment less well; - shave between sessions, never pluck. On results: forearms often need more sessions than patients expect, because the hair there is finer and lighter. That does not mean the method is failing - the response simply takes longer. The physician can predict the realistic number of sessions after the third one, when the trend is visible.
