Facial Laser Hair Removal

It will depend on various factors, such as age, sex, the area to be treated, hair type and skin phototype. We could say that the average number of sessions is 6 to 8 to achieve a satisfactory result.

The laser permanently removes the hair follicle in a high percentage of the treated hair.

A few long-term maintenance sessions are recommended for the small amount of residual hair that may remain, or you may opt for Thermolysis to permanently eliminate all hair. Over the long term, or due to hormonal changes, a new follicle that was dormant during treatment may appear.

Medical laser hair removal uses light energy (pulses of light) to remove unwanted hair. The light energy is absorbed by the hair pigment (melanin) and converted into heat, thereby damaging the hair follicle matrix and preventing it from producing new hair.

It is necessary to have the best equipment so that the energy is directed by the hair color and not by the skin color. The greater the difference between the two colors, the easier it is to remove hair permanently.

Laser hair removal is less effective for hair colors that do not absorb light well: gray, red, blonde, and white. In these cases, we use thermolysis for hair removal.

The duration of the session depends on the size of the area to be treated; for example, the legs of a person who is 1.50 m tall will differ from someone who is 1.90 m.
Generally, areas such as the underarms, bikini line, brow, face, or fingers may require only 20 minutes. For larger areas, such as full legs + intimate area, the hair removal treatment can last around 80 min.
