Hair Removal

Durable and Effective Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a modern and effective solution for permanently eliminating unwanted hair. Using advanced technology, the laser targets the hair follicle, destroys its root, and prevents future regrowth.

How Does It Work?


The laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light is converted into heat, which specifically targets the hair's root, damaging it in a way that prevents future regrowth. This method is particularly effective on dark hair and light skin, although technologies are available to accommodate all skin types.

Before the Session:
_ Avoid sun exposure.
_ Do not wax or use an epilator before the treatment, but shaving is allowed.

After the Session:
_ It is normal to experience slight redness or a warm sensation in the treated area.
_ Avoid direct sun exposure and apply sunscreen with SPF 50+ in the weeks following the treatment.

What to Expect During Laser Hair Removal


Laser treatment targets hair during its active growth phase (anagen phase). Since not all hair is at the same growth stage at the same time, multiple sessions are required to effectively treat all hair follicles.


The number of personalized sessions will be determined during the initial consultation. This consultation is necessary to define the treatment protocol based on your skin and hair type and to ensure there are no contraindications.

When Will I See Results?


Results are gradual and visible after several sessions. Hair regrowth becomes finer and less dense, and some areas may be completely free of unwanted hair. Treated hairs may fall out immediately after the session, while others will shed gradually over the following weeks as the hair follicle is damaged by the laser.
