Among the methods of removing white hair, needle epilation instead of laser comes to the fore. Needle epilation is used on a small number of hairs, especially on white and very light colored hairs such as gray and yellow. Needle epilation is used because the laser light will not be absorbed by the white hairs. In the epilation application for white hairs, which is preferred for the removal of very few hairs, electric current is applied to the hair root with the needle in the epilation device and the hair root is dried. These dried roots are pulled one by one with tweezers. The formation of a new hair from the same root is prevented. In this way, white hairs are destroyed by needle epilation method instead of laser applications.
Needle Hair Removal on White Hairs
Although laser is the first method that comes to mind for removing white hair, it may not be very effective. Laser beams are effective on color pigments. In this way, it aims to dry the hair root. Since there is no color pigment in white, light yellow and gray hairs, needle epilation can be used on white hairs instead of laser methods. In epilation with needles, electricity is supplied to the hair root with the needle heads on the epilation devices. In this way, the hair root is dried. Experts remove the remaining hair completely with tweezers in order to prevent hair growth in the dried root. After the application, new hairs may appear, although with very little density. For these, it may be necessary to apply a needle epilation again.
To Whom Can Needle Epilation on White Hairs Be Applied?
Needle epilation, which is also used to remove white hair, is one of the most efficient methods for getting rid of body hair completely. In general, it can be applied by everyone. In some cases it is simply not recommended to do it. These situations can be listed as follows:
* Epilepsy patients
* Pregnant women
* Those with sensitive skin
* Those with open wounds
For these people, it may not be appropriate to have needle epilation on white hairs. Apart from these, diabetic patients are also advised to get approval from their doctors before the application. It may be healthier for those with chronic skin conditions such as eczema to use this application with the approval of specialist physicians. In women, the skin surface may be sensitive within 2 to 3 days before the menstrual period. In these periods, needle epilation is not recommended.
