SIF laser hair removal or gluteal cleft

The demand for SIF laser hair removal is growing steadily, because as with back hair removal, it's virtually impossible to do alone.

Laser hair removal from the gluteal cleft (SIF) is considered painless and virtually permanent, removing up to 90% of pigmented buttock hair over time. The photon energy of the laser beam is absorbed by melanin, the black pigment, right down to the hair follicle: the hyperthermia thus released permanently removes the hair, which is unable to grow back.

This is why permanent laser hair removal is ineffective on white, red or blond buttock hair. On the other hand, it is highly effective on thick, black hair. Also, since laser energy only destroys hair bulbs in the anagen (growth) phase, this requires several appointments at regular intervals, to progressively destroy all hairs returning to the growth phase as the hair cycle progresses.

Laser hair removal of the buttocks can be performed on normal hair or hair considered excessive, whatever the cause (genetic, hormonal, hereditary, medical, iatrogenic...).

Dr Christelle Santini offers SIF laser hair removal for both men and women, with the utmost respect for your privacy:

• for aesthetic reasons, to enhance the contour of the buttocks;
• for medical reasons, if traditional hair removal irritates or infects the skin;
• for hygienic reasons, as the presence of hair can encourage certain types of mycotic dermatitis;
• for practical reasons.

You should have an initial medical consultation with Dr Christelle Santini (75116 Paris) to check the indications and express your expectations.

Your doctor will tactfully and respectfully examine your hair growth on the buttocks, and possibly the lower back.

Choosing an aesthetic doctor for permanent hair removal from the buttocks or BIS offers several benefits:

• The medical laser is a safe device, more effective and more precise than a simple IPL pulsed-light lamp;
• a doctor has a better understanding of hair physiology and intimate anatomy, so he or she can optimize the number and spacing of sessions; for example, he or she knows how to treat downy hair, or how to correct other aesthetic concerns. intimate aesthetic medicine.

Depending on the extent of buttock hair growth, Dr Christelle Santini estimates the number and frequency of treatments, which she can then modify after the initial results.

Dr Christelle Santini also checks that there are no medical contraindications to laser hair removal, such as :

• Pregnancy and breast-feeding, as a precautionary measure.
• Dark phototype: hair removal for darker skin types requires a specific approach.
• Tattoo on buttocks.
• Blond or white hair.
• Oral administration of photosensitizing medical treatments.

Dr. Santini advises you to moisturize the skin after shaving the buttocks first, but never to wax them.
This shaving can also be done in the office.

SIF laser hair removal is performed on site at 89 rue de la Pompe 75116 Paris.

The technical platform offered by Dr Christelle Santini features a dual wavelength (Alexandrite laser and Nd:YAG laser), ideal for individualized hair removal adapted to your skin structure, skin phototype and local hair growth (color, texture, thickness, etc.).

You should keep your glasses on throughout the session, to protect your retina.

The laser console is then adjusted according to the structure of your hair, the power being attenuated on down, for example.

The operator then sweeps the area around the buttocks and SIF regularly, using a handpiece equipped with a comfortable cooling system: the sensation of heat is therefore painless, with at most an impression of micro-discharges.

Each session takes around 10 to 40 minutes, depending on the area to be waxed: on average, 4 to 6 sessions are needed for women, at intervals of 6/8 weeks, and often at least 2 more for men with increased hair growth.

An emollient treatment calms redness at the end of the session.

The after-effects of laser hair removal from the FIS are slight, with no noticeable irritation and, at most, a slight redness that fades over one or two days. Dr. Santini recommends a gentle restorative treatment, bearing in mind that the skin should not be congested for one or two days (hot bath, sauna, hammam, etc.).

No local UV for at least two weeks.

Hair loss on the buttocks is not immediately visible: it optimizes over the course of hair removal sessions, with a significant visual effect from the 2nd or 3rd session onwards.

Hair on the BIS gradually becomes less numerous, finer and less dense. By the end of the protocol, up to 90% of the hair on the buttocks and BIS is permanently destroyed, leaving the buttocks soft and beardless, and more sensual.

An annual maintenance session is sometimes recommended.

• Fast, painless and virtually permanent hair removal.
