More and more people are looking for smart and easy ways to get rid of unwanted hair growth and in line with this, laser hair removal has become one of the most popular methods. At Estetikcentrum in Malmö, we offer high-quality diode laser hair removal - a method that has completely changed the way we look at permanent hair removal. So what does this treatment involve and how many treatments might be needed? Here we go through everything you need to know.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses a very intense light to eliminate hair follicles. When the light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, it is converted into heat, thus damaging the hair follicle so that it can no longer produce new hair. The diode laser we use at Estetikcentrum is particularly effective for treating both darker and lighter skin types and is also recommended for those with coarser hair.
Benefits and advantages
There are many benefits of laser hair removal, but the main advantage is that the results are long lasting and in some cases completely permanent. With the right treatment and maintenance, you can reduce or eliminate the need for common hair removal methods such as waxing or shaving. Compared to other methods, it is also more gentle, as it does not damage the skin and is less likely to cause annoying and uncomfortable ingrown hairs. A treatment usually only takes between 20-30 minutes depending on the area you want to treat. This way, you can get an effective result without having to spend too much time on it.
How does it work?
During a treatment with us, we use a diode laser that sends out light pulses directed at the hair follicles. Before the treatment, a special gel is applied to ensure that you get the best effect while reducing any discomfort. The treatment may feel like small pricks, but many people do not find it very painful at all. After the treatment, the skin may be a little red and sore, but this usually disappears within a few hours.
How many treatments are needed?
Hair growth occurs in different phases and therefore it usually takes several treatments to achieve a long-lasting result. Most people see a good result already after 4-6 treatments, with about 4-6 weeks between each treatment.
Laser hair removal works best on people with darker hair and lighter skin. It is important to book a consultation with one of our specialists to find out if you are suitable for the treatment.
Summary
Laser hair removal is a safe and good method to get rid of unwanted hair growth, e.g. under arms, on legs or at the bikini line. At Estetikcentrum in Malmö, we use diode lasers to give our customers the best possible treatment and a result that is long-lasting. After a few treatments, you can enjoy smooth skin without having to worry about shaving or waxing. Contact us today to book your consultation or to get answers to your questions.
