How does Laser hair removal work for the permanent treatment of hair growth?

ΤThe Laser emits a beam of light that destroys the hair follicle, without causing injury to the skin tissue. This is due to the special cooling operation of Laser that freezes skin twice, a few seconds before the thermal laser beam and immediately after. In this way, the sense of pain is significantly reduced and this allows the dermatologist, to increase emission of beam energy, increasing the effectiveness of the treatment, since the higher the energy of the Laser the less treatments are needed.

The Dermatologist, Dr. Nektarios Logaras first examines the area of ​​skin on which Laser will be applied, in order to identify skin damages, which would need treatment before hair removal. Before each Laser treatment, the area where the hair removal will take place should be free of creams and other cosmetics. Then, a razor is used, so that the laser thermal beam targets at the hair follicle and not the entire stem. In sensitive areas, such as the armpits and bikini line, a local anesthetic cream is used to minimize the pain.

With the Gentle Laser Max – Alexandrite & Nd:YAG platform, the results are visible from the very first session, as hair is gradually reduced.

For the complete relief of unwanted hair growth, 5-7 sessions are required. The number of sessions varies, depending on the area which will be treated, as well as the characteristics of the hair, the skin and the body.
