For one month before the treatment, avoid removing hair from the root using an epilator, waxing, sugaring or tweezers. Hair may only be shaved or trimmed. Avoid tanning and sunbeds for at least 1 week before the treatment. It is also recommended to avoid alcohol-based cosmetic products on the treatment area for 1-2 days beforehand.

The optimal hair length before treatment is no more than 1 mm. Underarms and the intimate area should be shaved 1 day before the treatment, while other body areas should be shaved 3 days beforehand. The skin should be clean and free of cosmetic products before the procedure. If you are taking antibiotics, retinoids or other medications that may increase sensitivity to light, inform your specialist and do not stop prescribed medication without medical advice.

The number of treatments depends on individual characteristics, skin phototype, hair color and structure, as well as the hair growth cycle.

A typical course of laser hair removal consists of 4-8 sessions. The interval between treatments is usually around 4-6 weeks and may be adjusted by the specialist depending on the treatment area and individual response.

When there are no contraindications and appropriate treatment settings are used, laser hair removal of the intimate area is generally well tolerated. Laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair and targets the hair follicle, helping to prevent future hair growth. Mild discomfort or a sensation of warmth may occur and is reduced by the cooling system.

A course of laser hair removal can provide a long-lasting reduction of up to 90% of unwanted hair. Results depend on individual characteristics, hair structure and hormonal factors.

Maintenance sessions may be needed in the future. Their frequency depends on individual hair growth patterns and should be determined together with a specialist. If the pattern of hair growth changes noticeably, the specialist may recommend an additional medical consultation.

Laser hair removal is an aesthetic procedure that may be used for unwanted hair growth, a tendency toward ingrown hairs and skin irritation caused by other hair removal methods.

Possible contraindications and limitations include:

• Cancer;
• Decompensated diabetes mellitus
• Acute inflammatory or infectious skin conditions in the treatment area;
• Flu, cold or other acute infections;

The complete list of contraindications and suitability for treatment should be determined by a specialist during consultation. Do not stop any medication prescribed by your doctor without medical advice.

Temporary redness and a sensation of warmth may occur in the treated area after the procedure. Over the following period, treated hairs gradually work their way to the surface of the skin and shed. Follow your specialist's aftercare recommendations and avoid tanning after the treatment.
