Laser hair removal

Laser hair removal uses the light absorbed by the pigment of the hair to heat its root and gradually reduce the hair in the treated area. Several sessions are necessary because the hairs do not all grow at the same rate; the choice between Alexandrite and Nd:YAG depends in particular on the skin and hair.

Permanent Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a proven and effective method for permanently eliminating unwanted hair. It is suitable for all skin types, from the lightest to the darkest, thanks to the use of cutting-edge laser technologies.

Principle of Laser Hair Removal

​​The laser emits a beam of light absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This absorption generates heat which destroys the hair bulb, thus preventing hair regrowth. The treatment is particularly effective on hair in the growth phase (anagen phase), which requires several sessions to target all the hair in an area.

Technologies Used

Our center is equipped with two types of latest generation medical lasers, suitable for all phototypes:

•    Alexandrite laser (755 nm): Ideal for light skin, it offers great effectiveness on dark hair.

•    Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm): Designed for dark to black skin, it penetrates deeper into the skin, ensuring safe and effective hair removal.

These devices have integrated cooling systems, guaranteeing optimal comfort during the session by minimizing the feeling of heat.

Progress of a Session

1.    Preliminary Consultation: Assessment of your skin and hair type to determine the appropriate protocol.

2.    Preparation: Cleaning the area to be treated; it is recommended to shave the area 24 to 48 hours before the session.

3.    Treatment: Application of the laser to the targeted area, with parameters adjusted according to your phototype and hair density.

4.    Post-Session: Application of a soothing cream; It is advisable to avoid exposure to the sun and heat sources for a few days.
