What do they write about there?

The rules and regulations were created by Soviet doctors. SanPin No. 5804-91 describes who has the right to work with lasers and how often they need to undergo a medical examination, a lot is written about safety, protective equipment and is supplemented with first aid instructions.

All this is worth studying, despite the fact that the text seems outdated. You will learn about the most important of these documents below.

Choosing a room for a laser hair removal office

Basic rules to follow:

Wet spot. This name for the sink can be seen in many advertisements for renting space for a beauty salon.

Sufficient lighting. The standards are prescribed in SNiP II-4-79. The cosmetology room belongs to the premises of the first group (the highest precision). therefore there should be natural and artificial lighting.

Air. The room should be well ventilated. It is advisable to use air conditioning and an exhaust ventilation system. This is necessary so that the laser does not overheat and lasts longer.

Heating. The indoor air should not be allowed to cool down in winter. If the water in the laser cooling system freezes, it will lead to breakdown and the device cannot be saved.

Fire safety. The law requires that you have a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher in your office. In addition, floors must be made of non-flammable electrical insulating material. Also, they cannot contrast in color with the walls.

There should be no shiny surfaces in the office. Patients should not be seen in a room with glossy tiles or a mirrored ceiling. All surfaces must be matte so that if a laser flash hits them, it will not be reflected.

If there is a mirror in the office, then it is covered with non-flammable blinds, but in general it is better to remove it.

The room matches. What should you buy for your office?

In the office where the doctor is going to provide laser hair removal services there should be:

Beauty chair or couch. You should not use dark cases, since the first time a laser flash hits you, a light spot will remain.

Dielectric mat. For safety reasons, the doctor must stand on it while working with the device.

Sun blinds. By the way, blinds are hung on mirrors or other shiny surfaces. They must be fireproof.

Safety glasses for cosmetologist and patient. They usually come complete with a diode laser. You can also choose safety glasses on our website.

Consumables for patient and device: shoe covers, napkins, gels.

"Laser Hair Removal's Risks" by Roni Caryn Rabin in The New York Times, January 6, 2014

Laser hair removal procedures have become extremely popular in recent years. According to the American Society of Dermatologic Surgery, nearly half a million laser hair removal procedures were performed at professional facilities in the United States in 2011.

However, an unknown number of procedures are performed each year by non-specialists who have minimal training and often have not even received medical training.

American practice of using laser for hair removal

If performed improperly, these procedures can cause disfiguring injuries and severe burns in sensitive areas such as the bikini line and mustache area above the lips, and in some cases, be fatal.

Laser treatment may be unsafe

"It was terrible" said a woman from Brooklyn, who wished to remain anonymous to protect her privacy: “I no longer look like a normal person.”

However, laser hair removal was the most frequently performed procedure mentioned in litigation statistics, along with “photorejuvenation” of aging skin and getting rid of wrinkles.

“Not a week goes by that I don’t see complications after laser therapy.” says Dr. Tina Alster, founding director of the Washington Dermatologic Laser Surgery Institute.

She and other doctors worry about the proliferation of pseudo-medical facilities, especially at hotels and spas that offer laser treatments and other cosmetic treatments but may not have licensed medical personnel on staff.

“There is a public perception that anyone can perform this procedure.”- Dr. Alster said: “But people need to remember that it’s not the laser that does all the work, it’s the laser operator.”

In the case of the Brooklyn woman quoted at the beginning of the article, the laser operator, who does not have a medical background, scheduled her legs to be re-haired in 4 weeks instead of the 10-12 weeks recommended for this procedure by the protocol. Her lawyer, Harry Rotenberg, announced this in court.

Licensing, training and important issues

“Licensing and training for laser operators varies from state to state, leading to a patchwork of rules and regulations.” said Dr. Matthew M. Avram, director of the Massachusetts General Hospital Dermatology Laser and Cosmetic Center.

Laser treatment is recognized as a medical practice in about 35 states, but non-medical personnel offering the treatment are required to have on-site supervision in only 26 of them.

The states of New York, Virginia and Georgia do not consider laser hair removal a medical service, and 11 states do not even have laws regulating it.

“This is some kind of medical Wild West.”- said Dr. Avram: “Some states pass laws and protect patients, but many do not. A person enters a spa, sees someone in a white coat and may assume that he is a doctor.”

Dr. Avram said that even in premises that actually belong to a doctor, procedures can take place without his presence.

And states requiring medical regulation may not require training and licensing of operators of such equipment. Training is often limited to only the technical aspects of performing the procedure and is provided by the manufacturer selling it.

The operator assesses the type and condition of the skin and plans the timing of treatment. All these critical parameters are under his responsibility and competence. Among those at greatest risk of complications are those with dark pigmentation.

“A laser operator who does not have the appropriate medical training may treat sun spots and not even realize that he is actually dealing with skin cancer that was not present before the treatment.”- said Dr. Avram.

International Spa Association President Allan Share agreed that there is very little oversight of spas and spas, and he urged consumers to do their research before seeking treatment from a particular clinic.

“It is always important for the consumer to do due diligence.”- he reminded.

Important questions before the procedure

For those planning laser hair removal, the following factors need to be considered:

License and experience

Ask if the facility has a medical license and if a doctor will be present during procedures. Ask to read your medical history carefully. Find out what happens if treatment goes wrong.

Staff

Find out who will perform this procedure. What degree and training does the operator have? How many times has the operator performed laser hair removal before this point? Has he/she performed treatments on the area you want to epilate?

Your features

Ask if laser hair removal is suitable for your skin type, hair color, complexion and body area. Invite your specialist to try on a small area of ​​skin before you undergo the main procedure.

Clients with medical conditions such as diabetes, difficulty healing wounds, or a tendency toward keloid scars may be especially susceptible to complications and should speak with a physician before beginning laser therapy.

If you experience pain or skin discoloration after your procedure, don't wait—call your doctor right away.

Consequences of laser hair removal

Laser hair removal is a skin treatment for hair removal that was approved by the FDA in 1997.

Since then, many improvements have been made to make it more effective to use and eliminate possible side effects and complications. However, it has not been possible to completely get rid of the risks of possible consequences until today.

Laser hair removal method has side effects because it uses rays of concentrated light.

Complications can be temporary or permanent. Pain, burns and blisters, redness and swelling in the treated area are temporary side effects of laser hair removal. Persistent side effects include skin discoloration, scarring, crusting, purpura (purple skin color), bruising, and pigmentation problems.

As with any medical treatment, it is important to assess the risk of side effects before starting the procedure.

Redness and irritation of the skin

This is the most common side effect. As a rule, it occurs soon after the end of therapy. Causes discomfort and moderate pain.

Hypopigmentation and hyperpigmentation of the skin

After laser hair removal, some people may experience discoloration of the pigment (hypopigmentation) that is responsible for skin tone. In other cases, darkening or hyperpigmentation of the skin is observed, which is localized in the form of dark spots on the treated area.

They usually disappear within 3 months, although they may persist for 6 to 8 months. Hypopigmentation typically lasts up to 2 months after laser therapy. In some cases, hypopigmentation may be permanent, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Burns, blisters

Laser hair removal may cause burns and blisters on the skin. A freezing spray or gel or contact cold tip is often used to protect the dermis. Thanks to these measures, the skin is protected from excessive thermal effects.

Scarring

Laser hair removal may leave scars. Although this risk is small, it remains a clinically proven possibility.

Crust formation

Approximately 10% of patients who undergo laser hair removal with alexandrite and long-pulse ruby ​​lasers experience crusting. The main cause of this process is usually due to excessive laser exposure to the area.

Eye safety during the procedure

Wearing safety glasses is mandatory for both clients and laser operators to prevent eye damage. Sometimes this requirement is ignored, which can lead to retinal burns.

This is a common side effect of laser hair removal. Swelling after laser exposure is usually mild. To minimize further skin irritation, sun exposure should be avoided.

Infection

This is a rare but possible side effect. It is usually observed in cases where the integrity of the skin is damaged.

Darkening of tattoos

Laser beams attack the iron oxide of tattoos and cosmetics, resulting in the formation of a black, insoluble pigment in the skin. To avoid this, it is necessary to wash off all makeup before the procedure, and also carefully avoid tattoos.

Hair restoration

According to the American Academy of Dermatology, most patients will require 2 to 6 treatments, performed 4 to 6 weeks apart, to achieve best results. The result may last for many years, but subsequently scattered hair growth occurs.

Re-sprouting is usually lighter and thinner than the original cover. Therefore, laser hair removal, according to the FDA, is not a method of permanent hair removal, but only of significant hair reduction.

Laser hair removal is one of the popular types of hair removal, but it is expensive and also carries the possibility of side effects, including those associated with significant health risks, especially if the procedure is performed by a non-professional without medical training.

Considering all the risks and possible consequences of the laser technique, we decided to abandon laser hair removal in our centers in favor of.

How to become a professional in the field of hair removal? Where to get training?

Effective and painless removal of unwanted hair has not been uncommon for a long time. Increasingly, both women and men are turning to salons for such a procedure. The modern spirit of aesthetics or a person’s personal preferences presuppose the absence of unwanted hair on the body. If you want to perform bioepilation (waxing or sugaring) at home, or are thinking about providing hair removal services, working in a salon or at home, you need to be trained in this technique. If you are interested in the topic of qualified and professional removal of unwanted waxes, you will undoubtedly be faced with the need for training in this matter. Perhaps you want to do hair removal only for yourself, at home; or maybe you have decided to master a new, highly paid profession as a cosmetologist in the field of depilation. In the first case, you will receive high-quality and professional knowledge, which will allow you to avoid injury to your body. In the second, you will acquire qualified knowledge, practice and initial experience in performing hair removal techniques. To do it at home, perhaps video lessons on the Internet will suit you, of which there are a huge number, in the same YouTube.

However, if you are thinking about changing your profession, you cannot do without qualified training at a training center or cosmetology salon.

Most training centers will lure you with discounts or nice bonuses, “as a gift”. We advise you not to fall for such provocations. After all, what is most important to you is knowledge and initial experience, because they will give you confidence in yourself and your abilities, and will also allow you to become a professional in your field, to whom they will make an appointment a month in advance. Believe me, the client always feels the master’s uncertainty and inexperience, becomes nervous himself, and this makes the master nervous. As a result, everyone will be dissatisfied with the service - you, the client, and the employer. Therefore, choosing a professional training center-salon is a top priority.

What to look for when choosing a training center:

First of all, look through the reviews about it. Word of mouth and reviews have not been canceled, at least you can always find dissatisfied people there and understand whether this CA suits you or not. Pay attention to how many years this salon has been providing services in the field of cosmetology - the experience of the teaching staff has also not been canceled. It will be a huge plus if on their website you can get acquainted with a brief resume of teachers, with their work experience and length of service. Carefully read the course program - if you are a beginner cosmetologist, then you are unlikely to immediately need the art of bikini design. And of course, we recommend asking in advance to show the certificate that you will receive after successfully completing your studies. This certificate will indicate your qualifications.

When learning waxing and sugaring, you should definitely be told about:

types of waxes and sugar paste;

the most common brands of wax and sugar paste;

rules for working with hot, warm wax - which wax for which zone, and with sugar paste.

Then comes the practical part - working on models. The model can be provided by the center, or you can bring it yourself. After successfully passing the internship, you will receive a certificate. Now you can wax or sugar depilate professionally.

During training laser hair removal, in addition to all of the above, we recommend paying attention to the logistics of the center. In other words, what device will you be taught on? It is very important to undergo training on a modern, not decommissioned or outdated laser, for example, a companyLumenis Ltd, Israel.

It is important to know that only a specialist with a higher medical education is allowed to work with a laser device!

Laser hair removal is a very promising direction. Consumer research in the beauty industry shows that more and more women and men are choosing this type of hair removal. And for good reason, because laser hair removal allows you to get rid of hair forever and, at the same time, painlessly. All that is required of you is to do your job efficiently.

Hair removal is a popular business niche in the beauty and health sector, the demand for which has increased significantly in recent years. You can open an office that provides depilation services if you have 300 thousand rubles.

Any woman strives to be as beautiful as her financial capabilities allow. Even in Ancient Egypt, a hairless body was considered a sign of youth and perfect beauty. At the same time, the history of hair removal began, a procedure that has become commonplace in the 21st century for most women and some men. Some people prefer to remove hair at home, but only professional hair removal can get rid of hair efficiently and for a long time, so more and more people are turning to hair removal offices and salons.

The demand for a service can be judged by the number of offers. In Russian cities with a population of over a million (except for Moscow and St. Petersburg), on average, more than 450 organizations offer hair removal and depilation services: beauty salons, cosmetology studios, medical clinics, and so on. And this is not counting private masters. In the 15 largest cities of Russia, on average, for every 10 thousand population there are 4 companies providing such services. That is, this is at least one company per 2.5 thousand residents.

How to register a hair removal and depilation business

To open an hair removal and depilation office, you need to register an LLC. An individual entrepreneur is suitable only if the entrepreneur has a doctor’s diploma and 5 years of work experience in his specialty. The hair removal room must have a medical license. Medical licenses are issued by the Federal Service for Surveillance in Healthcare and Social Development for a period of five years. The organization submits an application and a package with the following documents:

• Charter, constituent agreement.
• Certificate of state registration of the organization in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
• Certificate of registration of the organization with the tax authority.
• Goskomstat codes (93.02. Provision of services by hairdressers and beauty salons).
• Extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
• A document confirming payment of the license fee for consideration of an application for a license.
• Title documents for non-residential premises: lease agreement, certificate of ownership.
• Floor plan of non-residential premises.
• Explication to the floor plan of non-residential premises.
• Documents confirming ownership of equipment or other grounds for using equipment (for example, inventory cards).
• Certificates of quality of medical equipment.
• Registration certificates for medical equipment (if the equipment was produced and purchased by the organization later than 2000).
• Contract for maintenance of medical equipment.
• Diplomas, certificates, certificates for specialists (senior and (or) paramedical personnel).
• Documents confirming higher medical education in the field of healthcare from the head or deputy head of the licensee organization, documents on additional professional education, as well as certificates of a specialist in the specialty “Healthcare Organization and Public Health”.
• Order on the appointment of a person responsible for medical activities.
• An employment contract, a work record book of an employee appointed responsible for medical activities, confirming the presence of at least 5 years of work experience in the specialty.
• Sanitary and epidemiological conclusion on the compliance of the premises with sanitary standards and rules of medical activities.

Since obtaining a license is a process that requires knowledge of bureaucratic intricacies, many applicants resort to the services of law firms. The cost of these services is about 40 thousand rubles in the regions and about 100 thousand rubles in Moscow.

Many people wonder whether a license is needed for depilation services that do not destroy hair follicles (on the Internet, depilation is often classified as a household service, citing regulatory documents of the Ministry of Labor). The answer is necessary, since depilation is included in medical activities according to the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of December 27, 2011 No. 1664n “On approval of the range of medical services.”

What you need to start a sugaring and waxing business

People come to the hair removal office to become more beautiful, to devote time exclusively to themselves, and let the whole world wait. This procedure is intimate and sometimes painful. In order for the client to relax, feel comfortable and confident, it is recommended to create a favorable atmosphere with the help of a beautiful interior. It makes no sense to rent a large room; the office should be small but cozy.

Standard furniture used for hair removal rooms are cosmetic couches and chairs, costing from 10,000 rubles. A cosmetic table will cost 5,000 rubles. To carry out the procedures, you will need various consumables, for example, disposable sheets, blankets, towels, caps, spatulas, etc. To fully equip a depilation room, including a reception area, waiting area, work accessories, signage, etc., you will need from 190 thousand rubles. If we add to this amount funds to pay for three months of rent, investments in cosmetic repairs and lighting, as well as advertising, then the starting threshold for entering the business will be an amount of 300-350 thousand rubles.

Approximate list of equipment for a hair removal room

In the modern beauty industry, several methods are used to remove unnecessary hair. Sugar depilation (or sugaring) is hair removal using a special paste. This method has no serious contraindications. The effect lasts about 20 days. Sugaring paste costs about 1,000 rubles per kilogram. Before the procedure, talc is used for sugar hair removal (250 rubles per 150 grams) and cleansing lotion (400 rubles per 200 ml); after the procedure, a cream that slows down hair growth is applied to the skin (400 rubles per 200 ml). Epilation of legs up to the knee using sugaring costs 450-1000 rubles, legs along the entire length - 1000-2000, armpits - 300-500 rubles, bikini area - 600-1800 rubles. Caramel and chocolate depilation works similarly to sugar depilation. A large selection of hair removal products is available in professional cosmetics salons and online stores.

Cost of sugaring and waxing services

Another common method of depilation is waxing, it is sometimes called bioepilation. Wax can be in cartridges (price for salons is 150-160 rubles per 100 ml). To prepare the cartridge for operation, special vertical heaters are used (1,200 rubles). Warm waxes can also be packaged in 400 and 800 ml jars. The cost of a can is from 400 rubles. A heater for cans will cost 2,000 rubles. To remove hair in the bikini area and under the arms, hot waxes are required (price 1000 rubles per kilogram). Film waxes are suitable for any area of ​​the body. The cost of a can is about 1000 rubles for 800 ml. Auxiliary cosmetic products that are used to prepare the skin for depilation, as well as after the procedure, are a preparatory gel, cleansing oil, cleansing lotion, post-depilation serum, post-depilation emulsion. The cost of the product is 400-700 rubles per bottle. The cost of waxing is approximately the same as the cost of sugaring. A training course in waxing and sugaring costs about 10,000 rubles in educational centers and takes several days.

For one depilation room, the actual turnover will be 200-250 thousand rubles. Taking into account wages to employees, fixed and variable costs (rent, advertising, Internet, household expenses, consumables, electricity), net profit can be 90-150 thousand rubles.

What do you need to start a hardware hair removal business?

To get rid of unnecessary hair on the body for a long time or permanently, hardware hair removal is used.

Electrolysis is the destruction of the hair follicle by electric current. Each hair is processed separately. The procedure is long and sometimes painful, and is contraindicated for heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, pregnancy, skin diseases, and cancer. Currently, there are several methods of electrolysis: thermolysis, electrolysis, blend method, flash method.

The cheapest electric epilator costs 15,000 rubles. The price of expensive models reaches 200,000 rubles. Such devices are able to select programs depending on the thickness and structure of the hair, automatically initiate an electrical impulse when it enters the hair follicle, have a special microchip that allows you to record dozens of different hair removal programs, prevent tissue burns associated with incorrect needle insertion, and have programs for post-epilation patient management. The cost of a minute of electrolysis is 18-25 rubles. Anesthesia is paid additionally (200-300 rubles).

Laser hair removal is the destruction of hair follicles using laser radiation. This method is only suitable for black hair. Contraindicated for pregnant women, diabetics, people with skin diseases and cancer. The price of a laser epilator starts from 200,000 rubles. The cost of hair removal varies depending on parts of the body, for example, forehead hair removal will cost around 800-2000 rubles, and leg hair removal 8-14 thousand rubles. There are also differences in price between men's and women's laser hair removal: the latter is cheaper. Spot laser hair removal is also possible at the request of the customer. One flash is estimated at approximately 100-150 rubles.
