Laser Hair Removal for Face and Body
Before - After Results
The results of Laser Hair Removal for face and body are visible from the very first session as unwanted hair growth is significantly reduced and the hair becomes more soft and lighter. The results depend on the laser system used, the color and quality of the hair and skin, the area of application and whether or not the patient has hormonal disorders.
The desired result is achieved faster in women than in men due to a lower concentration of circulating androgens in the blood and in some areas even complete elimination of hair growth can be achieved even in 6 sessions.

FAQ
How many sessions are required to complete Laser Body Hair Removal?
Laser Alexandrite sessions are repeated approximately every 1-2 months. In hormone-dependent areas such as the face, chest and abdomen, hair reduction is slower compared to bikini, legs and arms for Laser Hair Removal which require a small number of sessions and can even achieve complete hair elimination even in 6 sessions.
In cases where hormonal disorders co-exist, the only permanent hair removal solution is laser body hair removal with alexandrite laser hair removal.
What to expect before and after each Body Laser Hair Removal session?
Before each Laser Body Hair Removal session, the hair in the area needs to be trimmed, as the laser targets the root and not the free hair shaft. The area is scanned with a 2 cm diameter laser beam while the system simultaneously emits cool air, making the treatment easy and painless. After the Laser Body Hair Removal session:
- A temporary erythema may occur which resolves over the next few hours.
- Moisturizing creams recommended by the dermatologist and sunscreen should be used to protect the area from the sun.
Thanks to the advanced technology of the Candela GentleLase & Candela GentleLase PRO system with Alexandrite Laser, waxing is safe in the summer months as well as on lightly tanned skin.
What are the advantages of Laser Body Hair Removal?
- Laser Body Hair Removal is the only scientifically accepted method of getting rid of unwanted hair and the use of Laser is done exclusively in surgeries and medical clinics with the presence of a dermatologist or plastic surgeon.
- Laser Body Hair Removal promises fast and painless results. Depending on the area of application, it is possible to achieve complete hair removal in less than 6 sessions.
- Unlike conventional hair removal methods, responsible for folliculitis, aggravation of spider veins, hair growth and skin sagging, Laser Body Hair Removal does not affect the pores and structure of the skin.
How is Laser Body Hair Removal with Laser Alexandrite applied?
Before the laser hair removal session the hairs should be 2-3 mm long. The area to be depilated is drawn with a white pencil and then the whole area is scanned with the special head equipped with the Alexandrite laser. Thanks to the latest generation machines with two cooling systems, the session is practically painless, very fast and completely tolerable.
Are there any side effects from Laser Body Hair Removal?
Adverse effects from Laser hair removal with Alexandrite laser occur only when the instructions are not followed by the patient or when the treatment is not performed by an experienced operator under the supervision of a dermatologist. Potential side effects are completely reversible and include transient erythema and periorbital edema that resolves a few hours after treatment.
More persistent erythema or irritation may require more time to recover. Hypochromia or hyperpigmentation may occur if the patient is exposed to the sun immediately after treatment without sun protection.
