If you are not happy with shaving or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal is an option worth considering. Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a powerful laser to remove unwanted hair. This light source heats and destroys hair follicles in the skin, which stops hair growth.
Unlike other hair removal options, laser hair removal means fast, safe, cost-effective, reliable and permanent hair reduction. Laser hair removal works by directing focused light to target the hair follicle at the root. The laser inhibits the hair’s ability to grow without disrupting or damaging the skin’s surface, so even the most sensitive skin can benefit from this procedure.
Designed with sensitive skin in mind, laser hair removal is safe enough to be used on any part of the body and targets different skin types, while ensuring the best possible results. All our lasers also have a cooling device that helps protect the skin.
The process of removing unwanted hair has a variety of benefits. More specifically, the laser can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin intact. At the same time, the duration of each session is extremely short. Each pulse of the laser lasts a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at once. The laser can be applied to an area about the size of a quarter every second. Small areas like the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute and large areas like the back or legs can take up to an hour.
Laser hair removal is extremely effective for any skin type, color and quality. The final result is usually achieved after 6-8 sessions, with a distance of 4 weeks from one to the next. The number of sessions required depends on the area to be lasered and the system used. It is important to avoid exposing the area to direct sunlight for at least 2-4 weeks before treatment and always protect the skin with sunscreen. In our medical center, a wide variety of aesthetic services are provided, which meet all genders and all ages.
