FAQ about laser hair removal

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair regrowth, but maintenance sessions may be necessary.

How many sessions are required for laser hair removal?

On average, 6 to 8 sessions are required to achieve optimal results, depending on the area treated and the type of hair.

Is laser hair removal painful?

Laser hair removal can cause slight discomfort, often likened to a pinching or warm sensation. However, it is generally well tolerated.

Is laser hair removal effective on all phototypes?

The laser hair removal is more effective on light skin with dark hair, but recent technologies allow for the treatment of a wider variety of phototypes.

What is the difference between laser hair removal and intense pulsed light?

The laser targets a single type of wavelength, whereas pulsed light utilises a broader spectrum, making it slightly less precise.

Is there a link between laser hair removal and skin cancer?

To date, no study has shown that there could be a link between laser hair removal and the onset of skin cancer. However, it is crucial that the laser light does not pass over melanoma-type lesions, as this could distort and mask them. Indeed, the earlier a melanoma is detected, the better the chances of eliminating it without complications.

Is laser hair removal possible during pregnancy?

It is generally advised against for pregnant women to undergo laser hair removal due to the increased sensitivity of the skin during pregnancy.
