Laser depilation is a popular treatment that effectively removes hair from selected areas of the body. The invention of aesthetic medicine saves a lot of time, with significant smoothing of the skin on the body. Traditional shaving with a razor increases the formation of pimples and ingrown hairs, while laser hair removal does the opposite. Many myths have arisen around the method of body hair removal, which largely miss the truth. We dispel any doubts and answer the questions that our patients often ask us.

Laser hair removal - facts and myths
Laser hair removal - facts and myths
Laser hair removal is dangerous for the skin. Myth!
The claim that this type of hair removal is dangerous for the skin is an absolute myth. Of course, lasers are not equal - you cannot guarantee that a home laser from an unproven company will be as safe as a laser in an experienced clinic. At Wellclinic, we use the highest quality laser Prime 3Dtested by a number of experienced doctors from all over the world. The Prime laser beam only acts on the hair follicle and thus does not affect the epidermis. Laser hair removal cannot cause skin diseases, all the more so if the treatment is carried out in a proven aesthetic medicine surgery. At Wellclinic, patients' health is a priority, which is why all treatment programmes are based on the most expensive and best technologies.

Hair never grows back after laser hair removal. Myth!
Unfortunately, hair grows back after laser hair removal, which is why at Wellclinic we recommend our patients to undergo remedial treatments. Our advantage is the number of necessary visits, as we use the most effective laser on the market. For comparison, in order to achieve full effectiveness of epilation of a given area, e.g. with the Light Sheer technology, it is necessary to carry out 8-10 repetitions, whereas with Prime 3D it is necessary to carry out 5-8 repetitions in order to achieve the same effect. A reminder treatment is performed after 12 months, which means... a whole year of peace of mind.
Laser hair removal is painful. Myth!
Laser hair removal is not a painful procedure, and certainly not at Wellclinic. The Prime 3D laser we use has a built-in TEC Thermo Electric Cooling system. The function allows us to perform pain-free epilation, thanks to the maximum cooling of the laser head down to -8 degrees. Home lasers do not have a contact cooling function and standard home epilation takes between 1.5h and 5h. For this reason, you cannot compare home laser epilation and epilation at Wellclinic - there is a huge difference in comfort as well as effect.
Laser hair removal cannot be carried out in summer. Myth!
The fact is that laser hair removal is a year-round treatment and can also be carried out in summer. However, after the treatment, it is recommended to limit sun exposure and above all: do not sunbathe! After laser hair removal, Wellclinic doctors provide precise recommendations and, among other things, remind you to moisturise frequently and protect your skin with high UV filters.
Laser hair removal has no contraindications. Myth!
Laser depilation at Wellclinic does not exclude any skin phototype or hair type. As the effectiveness of the treatment is confirmed by the FDA certificate and numerous clinical studies, it is also recommended to people with sensitive skin. It is a much better method of hair removal than regular shaving with a razor - the encounter with the blade irritates the skin and can lead to dryness. However, it cannot be said that laser hair removal is for everyone. Pregnant women, breastfeeding women and people with skin conditions such as vitiligo or psoriasis should not undergo the procedure. Laser depilation also excludes people taking certain medications. Any doubts will be dispelled by a consultation before the treatment, which verifies the contraindications.
