Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal course

1. The hair must be shaved a day before the laser hair removal procedure. Regrown hair will need to be shaved before each session.
2. The first results are noticeable approximately 10 days after the first procedure.
3. The procedure should be repeated every 6 weeks. The number of sessions is determined individually, with an average course requiring 5–6 sessions. The necessary number of procedures is determined by a specialist, as it depends on individual factors and personal characteristics, such as hormonal balance, the amount of melanin in the hair, hair thickness, and the area being treated, among others. 

After completing the laser hair removal course, it may be necessary to repeat the procedure once a year for maintenance purposes.

How does it work?

The human skin consists of three morphologically distinct layers: the outer layer, or epidermis, the true skin, or dermis, which is made up of connective tissue, and the hypodermis, which attaches the skin to underlying tissues.

The shortest hair follicles only penetrate the dermis, and these are the fine hairs (hair root, bulb, and sebaceous glands) whose growth process can be affected by the laser hair removal device. The laser heats the dermis to the appropriate temperature, effectively damaging the hair follicle, thereby preventing the hair from regrowing (the hair simply falls out). It is important to note that in laser hair removal, surrounding tissues are not harmed. 

The procedure is based on a high repetition rate of short pulses delivered deep into the dermis, achieving a high average power and therapeutically effective heat accumulation, practically without pain. The In-motion technique, which involves repeatedly moving the applicator across the treatment area, ensures that the entire area is treated, while the ICE™ technology cools the skin's surface, preventing superficial burns and allowing for an almost painless but highly effective removal of unwanted hair.
