Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair regrowth, but maintenance sessions may be necessary.

On average, 6 to 8 sessions are required to achieve optimal results, depending on the area treated and the type of hair.

Laser hair removal can cause slight discomfort, often compared to a pinching or warm sensation. However, it is generally well tolerated.

The laser hair removal is more effective on light skin with dark hair, but recent technologies allow for the treatment of a wider variety of phototypes.

The laser targets a single type of wavelength, while pulsed light uses a broader spectrum, making it slightly less precise.

To date, no study has shown that there could be a link between laser hair removal and the occurrence of skin cancer. However, it is crucial that the laser light does not pass over melanoma-type lesions, as this could alter and mask them. The earlier a melanoma is detected, the better the chances of eliminating it without complications.

It is generally advised against for pregnant women to undergo laser hair removal due to the increased sensitivity of the skin during pregnancy.
