Laser Hair Removal: Get Rid of Hair Permanently

Laser hair removal is a technique to get rid of hair permanently. Very effective, this treatment is almost painless and can destroy about 90% of the hair.

For laser hair removal, only hair that contains enough melanin can be removed. Thus, red, blond or white hairs can not be treated. The light beam is attracted by the melanin contained in the hair, which transforms the laser energy into heat and destroys the bulb and follicle.

All phototypes can be processed so it is possible to practice laser hair removal on dark, dark or tan skin.

In women, laser hair removal mainly concerns the face (forehead, cheekbones, lips ...), the bikini line, the legs or the armpits and arms. In men, the area of concern are the face (beard, neck ...) but also the torso and the back.

The number of sessions varies depending on the hair and the area to be treated in both men and women.

In humans, it is necessary to count, for example between 8 to 10 sessions of about 10 to 15 minutes for underarm laser hair removal. In women, however, it takes 6 to 8 sessions lasting about 10 minutes for the same procedure.

Before any laser hair removal, the practitioner sees you during a first consultation which allows him to know your ancestry and to eliminate some contraindications which could prevent you from having this procedure. It is also an opportunity for him to examine your skin, your hair, but also your phototype (light skin, dark or tan ...).

The practitioner will also give you some recommendations for your laser hair removal to take place in excellent conditions.

The day of the procedure, the doctor begins by examining your skin for any lesions or herpes that could delay the procedure. If he notices that the area to be treated has not been shaved beforehand, he may shave the areas himself.

The practitioner provides you with goggles that you must wear during treatment to protect your eyes. Then, the practitioner marks the treatment area using a white pencil and sets the laser to fit your skin and your hair type. He then performs scanning of the area with the device.

At the end of the procedure, the specialist applies a moisturizer on the shaved area to soothe the skin and reduce pain.

After each session of laser hair removal, the regrowth is more and more slow and the remaining hairs become ever thinner. To disappear completely, the hair must be reached at its root, that is to say at the level of the bulb. Therefore, the hair can be removed only if it is removed in the growth phase, because it is only then that there is contact between the bulb and the hair follicle.

At the end of the treatment, approximately 90% of the hairs do not grow back. An annual maintenance session is then recommended to eliminate small regrowths.
