Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal. It’s time to forget about unwanted hair forever, especially if you’ve had enough of waxing, shaving, and ingrown hairs! Laser hair removal is a quick, painless, and permanent solution to these problems

Laser hair removal involves the removal of hair using medical lasers. These lasers operate by delivering laser light energy at a specific wavelength that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. The absorbed energy from the laser beam causes photothermolysis, resulting in the permanent destruction of the hair follicles.
Basically, when hair follicles are destroyed at the root through this process, the hair typically does not grow back, ever!

We prioritize the use of proven, reliable, and safe devices of the highest quality to ensure optimal results for our patients. In our practice, we use  two renowned lasers: Lumenis Lightsheer Desire and Alma Soprano Titanium, considered the best laser in the world. By combining these lasers, our patients achieve highly effective results in less time and require fewer treatments.

Lumenis Lightsheer Desire is an advanced laser that offers maximum efficiency in hair removal. It incorporates a built-in cooling mechanism, ensuring a pleasant and pain-free treatment experience. With its integration of two advanced technologies, this laser requires fewer repetitions and treatments compared to others. In just one session, it can remove up to three times more hair than IPL lasers.

The Soprano Titanium laser is known for its exceptional speed, thanks to its larger laser probe. It simultaneously targets all types of hair, regardless of thickness, color, or density, using three different wavelengths. Moreover, it is the first laser that allows laser hair removal even during sun-exposed summer months. Overall, it provides maximum efficiency in hair removal.

By employing these state-of-the-art lasers, we ensure our patients receive the most efficient and effective laser epilation treatments available.

We would like to emphasize the importance of verifying the type of laser used when scheduling a laser hair removal treatment. Distinct differences exist between medical lasers, cosmetic lasers, and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) systems. Only medical lasers possess the necessary energy for permanent hair removal. Cosmetic lasers and IPL hair removal systems lack the required energy for permanent results. While cosmetic laser treatments may slow down hair growth, the hairs tend to regrow a few months after discontinuing the treatment.
To achieve permanent removal of unwanted hair, it is crucial to undergo laser hair removal with reliable, tested, and safe medical laser devices. Opting for treatments with medical lasers ensures the best chances of achieving lasting results.

To achieve permanent results with laser hair removal, it typically requires 6 to 8 treatment sessions. The exact number of treatments may vary depending on factors such as hair density, thickness, and color. It is common to have intervals of 6 to 12 weeks between each treatment session.
It is important to note that even after achieving the desired results, some individuals may need periodic maintenance treatments. Generally, maintaining the results once a year is sufficient for body hair, while facial hair may require maintenance treatments twice a year. These maintenance sessions help ensure that any new hair growth is effectively addressed and maintained over time.

Before undergoing laser hair removal, it is necessary to remove hair using a razor. Approximately a month before the laser hair removal session, it is advised to avoid waxing and tweezing since these methods remove hair from the root, which hinders the delivery of the required energy to the hair follicle.
With advanced laser technologies like Lumenis Lightsheer Desire and Soprano Titanium, it is possible to perform laser hair removal on sun-tanned skin safely. However, it is recommended to wait for the tan to fade for about 3-4 weeks before scheduling the treatment. It is important to note that two weeks after the laser epilation, sunbathing without proper sun protection is not allowed. Excessive production of melanin pigment in the skin cells during sun exposure can lead to the development of hyperpigmentation. You can find more information about hyperpigmentation by referring to our resources on the topic. here.

To ensure effective laser epilation results, follow these guidelines:

• Attend all scheduled appointments as hair growth is not synchronized, requiring multiple sessions for complete removal.
• Apply sunscreen and protective creams, especially during summer, to safeguard treated skin and maintain desired results.

By following these guidelines, you can enhance the effectiveness of the laser hair removal treatment and ensure the best possible outcomes.

Lumenis Lightsheer and Alma Soprano Titanium lasers feature active cooling mechanisms that enable the treatment of various body areas, excluding the inner part of the ears and nose. Laser hair removal can be effectively performed in the following areas:: armpits, groin, intimate areas, entire face (except around the eyes), entire arms, entire legs, chest and stomach, back, etc.

After laser hair removal treatment, it is common to experience temporary redness in the treated areas. This redness typically subsides within 30 minutes, or in some cases, a couple of hours for individuals with more sensitive skin. To provide relief and promote healing, we recommend using soothing creams in the days following the treatment.
Apart from avoiding sunbathing and ensuring proper sun protection, no other significant restrictions are typically necessary. However, it is always advisable to follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your healthcare professional or laser technician to optimize the healing process and maintain the best results.

Lumenis Lightsheer and Alma Soprano Titanium lasers are equipped with active cooling mechanisms that help minimize discomfort during laser epilation treatments. It is important to note that in more sensitive areas like the groin and armpits, some individuals may experience a slight burning sensation. Nevertheless, patients generally tolerate this sensation well.
The cooling features of these lasers aim to enhance patient comfort during the procedure. If any discomfort is experienced, it is typically temporary and subsides shortly after the treatment. Your laser technician will ensure that you are as comfortable as possible throughout the session and address any concerns you may have.

Laser epilation is one of the more reliable methods for treating folliculitis and hair growth problems. This is a common reason why patients come for laser hair removal. Read all about ingrown hairs here.

Previously, ideal candidates had lighter skin and darker hair for permanent hair removal. They typically saw significant reduction after 3-4 treatments. Advancements in technology, like Lumenis Lightsheer and Soprano Titanium lasers, now enable effective treatment for darker skin tones and lighter hair. Laser epilation targets hair follicle pigment, so gray or white hairs cannot be removed. These lasers expand treatment options, but consulting with a professional is crucial to determine the best approach for individual characteristics.

Contraindications for laser epilation are epilepsy, pregnancy and diseases accompanied by a severe general condition.

The price of laser hair removal varies depending on which area of the face or body is treated, as well as the number of repetitions of the laser hair removal treatment.
