Laser Hair Removal
Hair can only be removed with the laser if it is pigmented. Blond or grey hair
cannot be removed.
Hair is subject to a growth phase, a resting phase and a shedding phase.
Only the hair currently growing in hair follicles can be damaged by laser light.
The laser light then penetrates the upper skin layers and is absorbed by the
pigments of the hair roots at a depth of appox. 2-4 mm. This heats up the
hair roots, damaging them, with the goal that no more new hair can grow.
The percentage of hair in the growth phase differs depending on the body
region, so treatments have to be repeated every four to eight weeks
(with a total of about six to ten sessions).
Laser hair removal is possible without anaesthesia, as only a slight
pricking is felt.
After the therapy, the skin is slightly reddened for about
30 minutes. Intensive sunlight should be avoided directly
before and after the treatment.
In principle, the method can be used anywhere on the body,
but primarily for the face, armpits, breast, back and
stomach areas, in the bikini zone or on the legs.
