Effectiveness Of Laser Hair Removal.

Is laser hair removal long-lasting?

The procedure operates progressively over 10 sessions, most of which occur at intervals of 45 to 60 days, ensuring long-lasting hair elimination. In cases of specific hormonal conditions, genetic or family influences, and when the hair is very fine, it may be necessary to carry out maintenance sessions.

Are there any special precautions before or after hair removal sessions?

We recommend avoiding sun exposure and the use of self-tanners before treatment. After each session, it's important to use sunscreen and follow the post-treatment care guidelines provided by your specialist.

Does laser hair removal hurt?

Sensitivity varies from person to person, each individual has their own pain threshold. However, thanks to our unique cryogenic cooling system, waxing becomes significantly more comfortable than other methods, including laser hair removal and even traditional waxing.

Who can do it?

Alexandrite laser treatment is recommended for people with thick, dark hair, especially for skin phototypes ranging from I to IV and, with some reservations, even phototype V. However, it is clinically discouraged for more pigmented skin due to high concentration of melanin on the skin surface. On the other hand, the ND:YAG laser, which has a lower affinity for melanin, is more selective in its action. Therefore, it is the preferred option for more pigmented skin, especially higher phototypes, offering excellent hair removal results without posing major risks to the skin. Before starting any treatment, it is essential to carry out an assessment to determine the suitability of the procedure for each area of the body.

How long does a session take?

The duration of a session may vary according to the region of the body being treated. For armpits, a session lasts approximately 5 minutes. For the groin area, the average time is around 10 minutes. For full legs, a session is expected to last around 30 minutes.

Is it possible to do it on any part of the body?

Yes, except eyebrows.

Can the hair grow back?

After completing the 10 treatment sessions, the hair that had its follicles cauterized by the laser will not grow back. However, it is important to consider that specific hormonal conditions or genetic factors may stimulate new hair growth, which may require additional maintenance sessions. It is important to highlight that white, blonde and red hair are not eliminated by laser treatment.

Is there any type of restriction? Who can't do hair laser removal?

Yes, there are restrictions such as:
– Tanned skin
– Pregnant women
– Use of Roaccutane
– White, blonde and red hair
– Presence of active herpes
– Use of some type of acid in the area to be treated (stop for a few days before and after the session)
– Chronic inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, vitiligo and lichen planus)
– On the area of tattooed skin or micropigmentation
Other situations may be contraindicated at the time of assessment to ensure the client's safety, health and personal well-being.

How many sessions are needed to eliminate hair?

Generally, around 10 sessions are required, with a minimum interval of 45 to 60 days between each one. However, it is important to note that the interval may vary depending on the area treated and the specific recommendations of the laser specialists.

What are the advantages of laser hair removal?

By having skin free of unwanted hair, laser treatment ensures effective results in eliminating hair, resulting in smoother and improved skin. This contributes to increased self-esteem and a feeling of freedom.
