Laser Hair Removal

What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a clinically proven method for long-term hair reduction. It works by using concentrated light energy to target and disable hair follicles. The process is based on selective photothermolysis, where laser energy is absorbed by melanin (the pigment in hair), converted into heat, and used to destroy the follicle without damaging surrounding skin.

At our clinic, we use a high-performance diode laser system - one of the most advanced technologies available for permanent hair reduction. Diode lasers are known for their precision, safety, and effectiveness across a wide range of skin types and hair textures. They are especially effective for treating coarse, dense hair and sensitive areas such as the face, underarms, and intimate zones.

Unlike IPL (Intense Pulsed Light), which uses a broad spectrum of light, diode lasers deliver a single, focused wavelength that penetrates deeper into the skin and targets the follicle more selectively. This results in safer treatments, fewer side effects, and more consistent outcomes.

Benefits of Diode Laser Hair Removal

• High efficacy: Up to 90% permanent hair reduction after a full course of treatments

• Safe for all skin types, including darker tones

• Fast treatment times with minimal discomfort

• Reduces ingrown hairs and folliculitis

• No damage to surrounding skin or tissue

• Suitable for both men and women, including hormonal hair growth

Pre & Post Treatment Care

Pre-Treatment Guidelines

• Avoid sunbeds, tanning, and direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to treatment

• Shave the area 24–48 hours before your appointment; do not wax, pluck, or use hair removal creams

• Discontinue use of retinoids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and other exfoliating agents for 3–5 days before treatment

• Do not apply lotions, deodorants, or makeup to the treatment area on the day of your session

• Ensure the skin is free from active infections, rashes, or open wounds

Post-Treatment Guidelines

• Avoid sunbeds, tanning, and direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after treatment

• Apply soothing products such as aloe vera gel or thermal water to calm the skin

• Use a broad-spectrum SPF 50 daily to protect the treated area

• Avoid heat exposure (hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, and intense exercise) for 48 hours

• Do not exfoliate or use active skincare ingredients (retinoids, AHAs, BHAs) for 3–5 days post-treatment

• Mild redness or swelling may occur and typically resolves within 24–48 hours

Results & Treatment Timeline

Laser hair removal is a progressive treatment. Hair grows in cycles, and only follicles in the anagen (active growth) phase respond to laser energy. Because not all hairs are in this phase at the same time, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.

• Most clients require 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart

• Noticeable reduction in hair density and regrowth after 2–3 sessions

• Hair becomes finer, lighter, and slower to return

• Long-term results include up to 90% permanent reduction

• Occasional maintenance sessions may be needed annually
