Course
6 sessions
Interval
4–8 weeks

What it involves

Laser works on the pigment in the hair. The device emits pulses of light that the hair absorbs and turns into heat, and that heat weakens the structure that makes it grow. It doesn't act on the skin, but on what sits inside the follicle.

That's why it works particularly well on dark hair and does far less on blonde or grey hair, which has almost no pigment to absorb the light. On very tanned skin it's worth waiting: not because it can't be done, but because the results are poorer and the session is more uncomfortable.

How the session works

  1. Assessing the areaWe look at your skin type and hair type and choose the right settings.
  2. Patch testA single pulse on a small area, to check how the skin responds before going any further.
  3. PreparationThe area must be shaved, never waxed or plucked: the laser needs the root intact beneath the skin.
  4. The sessionWe work across the area in sections with a cooled handpiece. It feels like a brief, hot snap.
  5. AfterwardsA soothing product is applied and the aftercare explained. Within two or three weeks the treated hair falls out on its own.

Aftercare

The skin stays slightly red for a few hours. No direct sun and no sauna for 48 hours, and high-factor protection on the area throughout the course. The hair will shed by itself: don't pull it out.

How many sessions you'll need

Hair doesn't all grow at the same time, and the laser only acts on hair in its growth phase. That's why sessions are spaced four to eight weeks apart depending on the area. Most people see a clear change from the third session onwards. The packages of five sessions plus one free follow that real rhythm.

These are real in-room times, not optimistic estimates. The price depends on the area and the protocol that suits you: we'll tell you when we assess your skin, with no obligation.

Frequently asked questions

Does it hurt?

It's uncomfortable rather than painful. The handpiece is cooled and most people find it perfectly bearable. The bikini line and upper lip are the most sensitive areas.

Can I remove hair between sessions?

With a razor, as often as you like. Not with wax, tweezers or depilatory cream: they take out the root and leave the laser with nothing to target.

Does it work on blonde or grey hair?

Far less. The laser needs pigment to work, so results on very light hair are limited. We'll assess it at your first visit.

Can it be done in summer?

Yes, avoiding direct sun on the treated area and using high protection. If you've just come back very tanned, it's worth waiting a few days.

How far apart are the sessions?

Four to eight weeks depending on the area. Intervals on the face are shorter than on the legs.
