As a prebhow is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is the procedure that is currently the most effective method for lifelong removal of unwanted hair. The primary principle of laser hair removal is selective photothermolysis.
During the treatment, we always adjust the wavelength of the light and the duration of the pulse to achieve an optimal effect on the target tissue (melanin pigment in the hair bulb), but at the same time minimise the effect on the surrounding tissue (skin pigment). For the same reason, the contrast between hair and skin color (dark hair and light skin) leads to the best laser hair removal results.
Laser hair removal can remove hair anywhere on the body.

What laser hair removal device do we use?
In our outpatient clinic you will meet with laser CANDELA gentleLASE PRO. Gentle Pro lasers have been the leading laser systems for laser hair removal for more than 20 years. It is truly a top of the line machine from the USA that is used in the finest clinics around the world.
This device uses a 755 nm wavelength laser, which allows it to precisely target hairs and minimize the risk of damage to the surrounding skin. The Dynamic Cooling Device (DCD) system protects the skin by cooling it before and after the laser pulse, ensuring a pain-free experience for the patient.
How much will I save if I have laser hair removal?
Yes, it sounds strange at first hearing - you're probably thinking, after all, it's quite expensive - how could I save money on it? If you have 4-7 sessions of laser hair removal, the price you pay will pay you back in the long run - you will never have to pay for waxing at your beautician or expensive razors again. NEVER!
Now try to imagine how much pain you will save yourself... and the comfort of being able to put on a skirt at any time - that is priceless! 🙂
How is the CANDELA gentleLASE PRO better than the usual IPL?
Intense pulsed light (IPL), or light-based treatments that you may encounter in beauty salons, use a broader spectrum of light that is less intense than a true laser. In practice, this means that the treatment is far less effective, requires more sessions and the result is not as convincing as with the CANDELA gentleLASE PRO.
CANDELA gentleLASE PRO or diode laser?
For patients with white skin and dark hair, CANDELA is generally more effective than the diode laser: The Alexandride laser (e.g. our Canedela Gentle Lase Pro) works by targeting the melanin (dark pigment) in the hairs. However, melanin is found in the skin of brown skinned people - whereby if there is a lack of contrast between the skin tone and the hair, the laser cannot accurately target the hairs and the laser may not be as effective. For white skin and dark hairs, this contrast is high, allowing the laser to precisely target the hairs and minimise the risk of damage to the surrounding skin.
How many sessions of laser hair removal are needed for complete hair removal?
The total number of treatments for complete hair removal is usually 4-7 sessions for women and 6-9 sessions for men. This is because the laser only destroys hair at the growth stage. However, the number of sessions is variable depending on the density and colour of the hair. As early as 3 treatments, in some cases 80% less hair can be observed.
How often should I have laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal usually requires two to six treatments. The interval between treatments will vary depending on the treatment area. On average, it is necessary to have a treatment every 4-8 weeks.
After some time, it is possible that some hair will appear somewhere on the treated area. In this case, we recommend a "maintenance treatment", where we re-treat the area 1-2 times a year to ensure that no hair grows back.
Results after laser hair removal
To illustrate the result you can expect after the treatment, we have prepared an illustration for you. On the upper back, you can see the result after the laser hair removal that the client underwent a month ago. We did not epilate the lower back for illustration purposes. The client only had one session of laser hair removal.
Is laser hair removal painful?
Thanks to the CRYO6 Zimmer cooling that we use for laser hair removal, the Candela Gentle Lase Pro medical laser hair removal becomes affordable for clients with a lower pain threshold. Sure, you'll feel the epilation slightly, but we don't think it's something you can't handle. Plus, if you find the pain unbearable, we can always adjust the strength of the blast to a lower level.
Possible risks of laser hair removal
The risks of side effects vary depending on skin type, hair color, treatment plan, and adherence to care before and after treatment.
The good news is that they are usually only very mild. The most common side effects of laser hair removal include:
- skin irritation and itching
- redness and swelling
- pigment changes
Is laser hair removal safe?
Laser hair removal is safe, but it can occasionally cause mild side effects such as itching or irritation of the treated skin. Laser treatment is not recommended for pregnant women and also for patients who are redheaded or have dark skin.
One of the exceptional features of Candela GentleLase Pro is that we can adjust the intensity of the laser light according to the colour of the patient's skin and hair. This is a key feature that increases the safety of the treatment and minimizes the risk of burns or pigment changes on the skin.
What should you know if you choose laser hair removal?
Candela GentleLase Pro represents the cutting-edge technology in laser hair removal, offering painless and effective removal of unwanted hair. With a high level of safety, client-specific laser customizability and great results, this method is increasingly the preferred choice for those who desire permanently smooth, hair-free skin. However, always consult with an experienced professional before beginning treatment to ensure that laser hair removal is appropriate for your individual needs and expectations. If you do decide to have laser hair removal treatment, it is important to prepare thoroughly:
Preparation before laser hair removal
- Avoid sun exposure before and after treatment. The skin cannot be tanned before treatment. Whenever you go outdoors, apply sunscreen of at least SPF 30.
- Avoid any self-tanners and tanning beds before and after treatment for at least 6 weeks.
- Shave your hair 24-48 hours before treatment (in the case of long hair, the laser will burn the hair above the surface, but the laser will not penetrate below the skin).
- Avoid hair removal methods other than shaving - waxing can disrupt the hair follicle and should be avoided for at least four weeks prior to treatment.
- In case of underarm epilation, do not use deodorant 2 days before the treatment
Care after laser hair removal
Immediately after the laser hair removal treatment, we will treat your skin with a preparation containing soothing and antiseptic substances. If you still feel discomfort, cool the treated area with ice.
