Hair removal

Hairiness: an individual variable

There are three phases in the hair cycle. The growth phase, also known as the anagen phase, during which the hair develops. The catagen phase, when the hair has completed its growth and detaches from its bulb. And finally, the telogen phase, during which the hair remains and eventually falls out. 

The most effective hair removal is performed on hair in the anagen phase, which is removed at the root and takes longer to grow back. 

Hair, which is unique to each individual, evolves and changes throughout life. The duration of these different hair cycles, as well as the quality and density of the hair shaft, therefore depend on variables specific to each individual. These include genetic inheritance, hormonal variations, age, stress and medication.

The benefits of hair removal

Soft skin 

Hair removal, whether with wax or pulsed light technology, removes hair at the root. The result is skin that remains totally smooth and soft. To the touch, your skin feels silky smooth.  

Self-confidence

While the trend is tending to be reversed by period or fashion, hair remains a determining factor in today's European beauty standards. Getting rid of it can give you a general sense of well-being and boost your self-confidence. 

Aesthetics

If you've got into the habit of shaving, you'll have noticed that shaving leaves a dark veil in the skin's transparency, corresponding to the part of the hair between the bulb and the epidermis that hasn't been removed. Hair removal, on the other hand, plucks the hair from the heart of the bulb, leaving your skin clean and clear.   

Long-lasting results

By removing the hair from its root in the hair follicle, epilation leaves the skin clear for several days, even weeks. 

With hot wax, the plucking phenomenon requires the hair to restart its entire growth cycle, exhausting it and delaying its reappearance on the epidermal surface. By chronically disrupting the hair cycle, the follicle needs more time to regenerate a new hair. 

Intense Pulsed Light technology, on the other hand, completely suppresses your hair follicle's ability to produce a new hair shaft by targeting the hair's melanin. 

Reducing ingrown hairs

Hair removal allows finer hair to grow back, with a tapered shape that facilitates its passage over the surface of the epidermis and prevents it from becoming tangled under the skin. You avoid hair regrowth that creates both redness and roughness on your skin. 

Hygiene and comfort 

When hair grows back after shaving, your skin takes on an unpleasant and uncomfortable shrunken appearance, depending on the area of the body. This discomfort is completely eliminated by a hair removal technique. In addition to giving you a feeling of cleanliness, epilation also helps reduce body odors that are captured by the hair. 

Ban shaving 

Shaving should only be used occasionally. By reinforcing the growth of the hair shaft, it provides only short-term results and requires regular maintenance. For sensitive areas, it can be an irritating process, creating itching, redness and ingrown hairs. The appearance of the hair shaft itself is altered. Thicker and coarser, the hair also becomes more visible.

Hair removal techniques

With wax

Our center uses specific hot waxes, adapted to each area of your body. Hot wax has the property of opening the skin's pores, making hair removal easier and more effective on any part of the body. 

At Klaris Esthétique, we choose to work with single-use waxes that enable effective depilation while minimizing pain so as not to damage your skin. 

Intense pulsed light

Our center in the 7ᵉ arrondissement of Paris offers pulsed light hair removal using Alma Laser technology. This latest-generation technology using Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) is non-invasive and suitable for all skin types.
