Our laser and photoepilation equipment

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.

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.

Laser hair removal should not be performed on pregnant women or breastfeeding mothers. It is also important to consider if you are taking any photosensitive medication, such as certain antibiotics or acne treatments. In such cases, the session would need to be postponed for the period the Doctor deems appropriate.

Both types of laser are effective for hair removal, provided we are discussing quality long-pulse equipment and effective skin cooling systems. The Alexandrite laser is more suitable for fine or lightly pigmented hair, provided the skin is not very dark or tanned. In such cases, the Diode laser is more appropriate, as it allows for hair removal on skin with residual tan and on darker skin tones.
