Introduction
Ice point hair removal works by utilizing the principle that melanocytes in hair follicles selectively absorb light at specific wavelengths. This process maintains a certain temperature in the hair follicles, gently deactivating the follicles and surrounding stem cells, thereby eliminating their ability to regenerate hair, while not damaging the surrounding healthy skin tissue. When choosing ice point hair removal, it is recommended to select a suitable clinic and equipment based on your own individual circumstances and needs.

Generally, Ice Point hair removal is a relatively advanced laser hair removal technology. The reference price for Ice Point hair removal usually ranges from 500 to 3000 yuan per session, with visible improvement typically seen after 2-3 weeks. Local redness and swelling may occur following the procedure. Detailed explanation is as follows:

Ice Point hair removal works based on the principle that melanocytes within hair follicles selectively absorb specific wavelengths of light, thereby maintaining a certain temperature in the follicles. This gentle process deactivates the hair follicles and surrounding stem cells, eliminating their ability to regenerate hair, while not damaging surrounding healthy skin tissue. Using a new pulse mode and repetition frequency, Ice Point devices penetrate subcutaneous fat tissue and directly target hair follicles to achieve hair removal. After Ice Point hair removal, the treated area may experience mild redness, heat, itching, or pain, which are normal reactions. These symptoms can be relieved by applying ice wrapped in gauze and usually subside naturally within several hours.

Post-operative skin tends to be delicate and sensitive; therefore, sun protection is important to prevent pigmentation. When choosing Ice Point hair removal, it is advisable to select appropriate clinics and equipment according to your individual conditions and needs, and to pay attention to post-treatment care.
