Laser Hair Removal: Frequently Asked Questions

Follicles that are destroyed do not produce hair again — we are talking about permanent reduction of the order of 80–90%+ after a full cycle. Hormonal changes can activate new follicles over the years, which is why some people choose 1–2 maintenance sessions a year.

It depends on your hormonal cycle: you can start from adolescence, once it has stabilised. There is no upper age limit, as long as the hair still holds colour.

No — it needs melanin. Dark brown and black hair responds excellently; blonde, red, grey and white hair responds minimally or not at all. At the assessment we will tell you honestly what to expect.

The technology is the same, the plan is not: male hair is thicker and hormonally "persistent", so it often needs 1–2 sessions more and different settings.

From 5 minutes for small areas such as the upper lip up to 45 for the largest ones. Most areas are finished in 15–30 minutes; full body, which combines several areas in one visit, takes 60–90.

Every 4–6 weeks for face/underarms/bikini and 6–8 weeks for legs/back — we follow the natural hair cycle of each area.

Shave the area 24 hours beforehand and no root hair removal (wax/tweezers/threading) for 4 weeks. Those two are enough — staying out of the sun is not needed.

Momentary "stings" with a sensation of heat, softened by the cooling of the handpiece. Sensitive areas (bikini, upper lip) are more noticeable but last only moments.

Yes. It is a safe medical procedure when it is performed by specialist staff with certified equipment — systematic reviews (Cochrane 2006) and long-term studies (Dermatologic Surgery 2001, 2013) document this.

The usual ones are mild and temporary: redness and a feeling of warm skin for a few hours. More rarely, temporary pigment changes — almost always linked to wrong settings, which is why we insist on a proper medical history.

No — the light of a hair removal laser is non-ionising radiation: it does not alter DNA the way ultraviolet light or X-rays do. It acts purely thermally, locally and superficially.

Pregnancy (as a precaution), active skin conditions or infections in the area, and photosensitising medication (for example isotretinoin — which requires a waiting period).

It depends on the area, the hair density and the number of sessions. At the free assessment you get an exact written quote — and options per session or as a package, whichever suits you.

No. With our system, staying in the sun is not a contraindication, so the programme starts and runs just as well in any month of the year.

Your progress is not "reset" — we simply rebook as soon as possible, so the hair growth cycle is not lost.

Scientific supervision, a certified new-generation Alexandrite, a personalised plan and honest expectations — if something will not work for you, we will tell you before you pay, not after.
