Laser depilation

Laser depilation This is a method of long-term hair reduction that uses laser light energy. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, which damages the structures responsible for hair growth.

Laser depilation It is used on both women and men on various parts of the body, including the legs, underarms, face, back and bikini line. The treatment is carried out in a series of sessions, as the laser is most effective on hairs in the active growth phase.

The method is based on the phenomenon selective photothermolysis, which allows the laser energy to target the hair follicle whilst minimising the impact on surrounding tissue. The result is a gradual reduction in hair growth and a reduction in problems such as ingrown hairs or irritation caused by traditional hair removal methods.

Prior to the treatment, a pre-treatment assessment is carried out, during which the condition of the skin, phototype and any contraindications – such as a recent tan, active skin infections, the use of photosensitising substances, or certain medical conditions and treatments – are assessed.
