Laser Hair Removal: Everything You Need to Know Before You Start!

Want to Get Rid of Unwanted Facial and Body Hair Permanently?

For both women and men, laser hair removal promises to permanently remove hair from the root and effectively prevent its regrowth. Unlike other hair removal methods, such as waxing or shaving, Laser hair removal delivers permanent and immediately visible results, leaving the skin smoother and free from irritation, folliculitis, and redness.

Safe for all skin types, it can be applied to the face, underarms, bikini area, legs, and arms, eliminating excessive hair growth, as the hair root is effectively destroyed!

Laser Hair Removal for Silky Skin — What You Should Know Before You Start

Smooth and soft skin, free from stubborn hair! Do you know why Laser hair removal is so effective?

A concentrated beam of light targets the melanin in the hair without affecting the skin. The light is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle during its growth (anagen) phase.

Once the plastic surgeon assesses your skin type and hair color, they use a modern, high-precision Laser device suitable for your specific skin type. The procedure begins with gentle cleansing of the skin from any skincare or body products to ensure cleanliness, followed by the application of a special cream to make the treatment as painless as possible.

After the session, a soothing cream is applied to deeply nourish and hydrate the skin, minimizing redness.

For effective hair removal, hairs must be in their active growth phase. Since not all follicles are in the same phase simultaneously, about 6 to 10 sessions, spaced every 4 weeks, are typically needed.

Before your session, hair length should be 2–3 mm, so shaving up to two days before is allowed.

However, waxing or sugaring up to 4 weeks before, as well as tanning, self-tanning products, and sun exposure one week before and after the session, should be avoided, as the skin is more sensitive and may develop irritation or discoloration.

Laser Hair Removal — Proper Aftercare

With visible results from the very first session, hair growth gradually thins out, leaving your skin velvety smooth.

After a Laser hair removal session, redness may appear in the treated area but usually subsides within a few hours.

Avoid touching the treated area for several hours, as well as hot water and sun exposure during the first few days, since the skin is more sensitive.

Instead, apply a rich moisturizing cream recommended by your plastic surgeon to keep the skin hydrated and calm.

All sessions are performed by specialized and certified clinic staff under the scientific supervision of Plastic Surgeon Dr. Konstantinos Makrygiorgis.
