Love Your Body - Laser Hair Removal

What is laser epilation (hair removal)?
Laser epilation is a procedure for permanently removing unwanted hair from selected body parts with a laser. After a few sessions, you can enjoy a smooth body for a long time. A light beam emitted by laser penetrates deeply into the skin and irreversibly destroys the hair bulb. Laser hair removal is extremely popular among the Dr Parda Aesthetic Medicine Clinic patients, as it offers lots of comfort in daily life. Women use it most often, yet our male patients decide to use it more and more frequently as well.


What is the technology behind laser hair removal?
The laser epilation technology used at Dr Parda aesthetic medicine clinic is Leonardo A.L.T Hyper Pulse. With this advanced technology, the procedure is more effective and safer, because the patient’s skin is cooled simultaneously with actual energy transmission, and the patient is properly protected to avoid burns and not to feel pain. Leonardo A.L.T Hyper Pulse is an effective hair removal technology without repeated movements across the same area.

How long does the hair removal procedure take?
With the Leonardo A.L.T Hyper Pulse technology of laser hair removal, the hair will be effectively destroyed very quickly, even during the first run of treatment. Due to the advanced solutions, the time needed to eliminate unwanted hair becomes shorter. Naturally, everything depends on the patient’s individual circumstances, yet generally removal of hair from the whole body is possible in 18 to 25 minutes.

How to prepare to laser hair removal?
For the first laser hair removal session, the patient should leave a patch of unshaved hair on the body, so that the hair thickness, color and density can be determined. It is recommended to stop sunbathing and hair removal with tweezers or wax (mechanical hair removal) a month before the procedure. If you need to remove the hair, do it with a shaver only. It is also recommended to stop taking any kind of photosensitizing medication. One day before the scheduled procedure, remove the hair with an ordinary shaver. Leave the skin clean, without applying any cream, deodorant, body balm, etc.

Who should not be encouraged to take the procedure?
· pregnant women,
· breastfeeding women,
· psoriasis patients,
· patients with fresh suntan,
· patients using photosensitizing medication,
· patients on preparations containing retinoids,
· epileptic patients,
· patients with active skin conditions,
· patients with autoimmune diseases.


What to do after laser skin removal?
Your skin will be irritated after a laser hair removal session, but this effect should not remain for a long time. Apply moisturizing and soothing gel after the procedure. We recommend that patients return to their daily body care routine after treatment. Redness and swelling will disappear after a few hours. We only recommend avoiding swimming pools, sauna, hot baths, body peels, or sunbathing.

Is one session enough?
Laser hair removal by a professional doctor on approved apparatus guarantees pain-free, safe and effective removal of unwanted hair. When the procedure goes on properly, you will enjoy a smooth skin for a long time, yet a series of laser hair removal procedures is recommended to reinforce the effect. Not all hairs will be removed in a single session because their growth rates may differ, and the laser will only remove those in a growth phase at the moment. Hence, a series of procedures will remove up to 90% of all the hairs. You should also consider repeating the cycle after a few years, to eliminate the hairs that could not be destroyed before.
