I went where men go for waxing
Crossing the threshold of Healthy Derma Clinics in Kifissia, I felt like I was taking a huge step outside my comfort zone. How to talk publicly about something so "personal"? Because yes, we all know that a very large percentage of the male population knows how to properly take care of their skin (and let alone depilate it) but how easy is it to take it out of the taboo sphere? The manager of Healthy Derma Clinics, Evi Anastasiou, assured me that a large percentage of the male population now takes care of the issue of unwanted hair growth.
The time when we all used to self-harm with waxes and a thousand or two other methods to get rid of annoying hair growth (especially in places like shoulders and back) is gone forever. Now we know it's unacceptable to show up on the beach (or in bed) and reveal an unkempt forest #complete #turnoff. And for this reason we take our measures. Half measures that last for 1-2 weeks belong to the previous decade.
So let's start with the basics. I went to Healthy Derma Clinics at the end of the summer because they have SOPRANO ICE, the fastest hair removal laser at the moment and the only one that can work on tanned skin. You don't have to wait until Christmas to whiten and wax. You can safely start today. Visits (they call them sessions there) last only 30 minutes! That is, you can go for a coffee in Kifissia and just go for your waxing and come back. Easy and nice! Specifically, in large areas of the body (legs, back), where other lasers require at least two hours per session, the treatment with this particular laser lasts much less. It is very safe because the laser energy at Healthy Derma Clinics goes specifically to the hair follicle and does not spread throughout the skin tissue. At each visit approximately 15% of the hair follicle is destroyed regardless of the size or type of hair. Statistically, you will need approximately 6 sessions per month, depending on the periodicity of hair regeneration.
On to it now! I needed a total of 6 sessions at Healthy Derma Clinics for back and shoulders and the budget for this case was 300 euros. The ultimate #deal for such cases. In my personal experience, I made the first screening appointment (for medical history, etc.) on the same day as the first session!
I also had no problem going for a swim the very next day – wearing sunscreen of course! Where should we wear it anyway, with or without hair!
PS And of course you know that with the laser you get rid of ingrown hairs once and for all! ONCE AND FOR ALL!
