The results will be visible after the first session: hair will begin to fall out within the first 10-14 days. Gradually, during the course of the treatment, the hair will become thinner, lighter, and sparser, until it reaches a very minimal growth (occasionally a few thin hairs).
The true effectiveness of the procedure is assessed at the end and after the course, because fine hair is more difficult to remove and the result should be long-lasting. Fortunately, the Lumenis LightSheer laser is proven to be effective and allows you to maintain the result for a long time.
The principle of laser technology is to heat up the pigment - eumelanin (dark pigment) - and thus destroy the hair follicle.
Blond/red hair also has a pigment, but it is pheomelanin, and it absorbs laser radiation much worse, and therefore heats up worse.
Light-based treatments CANNOT effectively kill lighter-coloured hair such as blonde, grey or white, without inflicting excessive damage to the surrounding skin.
There is a chance to try the electrolysis hair removal - this is a longer and more uncomfortable, but quite effective method.
In summer - yes, as long as you follow the rules of pre- and post-treatment patient care. According to these rules, laser treatments CANNOT be provided on FRESHLY tanned skin. Tanned skin = damaged skin, so it is not safe to perform light-based treatments. Better safe, than sorry.
On closed areas (underarms, bikini) laser hair removal is usually performed without strict limitations.
On open areas, we work more delicately, but before and after the session, you must follow the rules of protection against UV radiation.
There is currently no evidence that laser hair removal is risky for pregnant women, but we recommend that you wait until your hormones are stabilized before starting the course (in case of breastfeeding, 2 months after the end of lactation).
Although we fully expect long-term results (from 1 to 7 years), unfortunately, there is a risk of hair growth activation due to spontaneous changes in the body.
Hair growth and development is a complex process that depends on many factors, including hormonal changes (pregnancy, hormone therapy, menopause) or significant stress.
We work with new and high quality equipment, using our experience and individual approach to minimize any risks. To this end, we perform a thorough consultation and skin examination prior to the procedure and provide recommendations for aftercare to avoid any unwanted consequences:
burns (caused by sunbathing, use of self-tanners, alcohol or active substances on the treatment area)
pigmentation changes (same reasons + non-compliance with recommendations)
redness and swelling (individual skin sensitivity, non-compliance with recommendations)
paradoxical hypertrichosis (individual sensitivity)
scarring (due to a tendency to scar formation, especially keloid scars).
We have listed these risks for your information only. In our practice, these are extremely rare (<1%) situations.
If the procedure is performed well and the recommendations are followed - no.
Studies have not found a clear correlation between the effect of laser light (non-ionized) and oncological processes. While we believe the scientific studies, we avoid/mask moles and recommend following a high UV protection regimen to be safe.
Diode laser radiation (805 nm) reaches a depth of only 4 mm. It is at the dermal (skin) level, so it does not affect other organs. It also has no effect on reproductive system.
