What is Laser Hair Removal?

Luckily, we no longer need to worry about setting monthly appointments for waxing. Laser hair removal is the fastest, pain-free and most affordable method of getting rid of the unwanted hair once and for all.

This treatment is quite simple: using a handheld device, the technician will direct a laser beam to the area to be treated. The laser will penetrate the upper layers of the skin and reach the hair follicles, destroying them once and for all.

What can you expect from Laser Hair Removal treatment?

The results are visible a few days after the first session. In order to get rid of all the hair in a certain area, you will need 4-10 sessions, depending on hair thickness, skin and hair colour. Before the first session and in between treatments, you should never use depilation techniques that involve the mechanical removal of hairs (like waxing or plucking). In order to be effective, laser removal treatments need to “catch” the hairs in their growth phase. This is why each session will be no sooner than a month after the previous one.

Laser hair removal has no side effects. You may experience a bit of swelling or skin redness, but these will wane in 12-24 hours. The only restriction is sun exposure. This doesn't mean that you can't have this treatment during the summer; in order to avoid skin spotting, you can use SPF cream.
