Laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is an advanced and popular method of hair removal. It uses light to penetrate the hair follicles and destroy them from the root. This reduces hair growth over time and long-lasting results.
The laser sends intense light pulses into the hair follicles, where the melanin (color pigment) absorbs the light. The absorbed energy is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin. This reduces and prevents future hair growth.

What should one be aware of before, during and after treatment?
Before the treatment, it is important to avoid sunbathing and the use of self-tanning products to avoid excess pigment in the skin. You should also avoid taking painkillers or applying anesthetic creams, as this can affect the treatment.
During the treatment, we protect your eyes with protective glasses, and cover any tattoos you may have in the area.
It is recommended to avoid exposure to the sun immediately after treatment. After the treatment, mild redness or swelling may occur, but this usually subsides quickly.
Does it hurt?
The pain experience during laser hair removal can vary from person to person. Many describe the sensation as mild tingling or a feeling of warmth during the treatment. It is important that you who receive the treatment inform us of how painful you experience the treatment, as we can adjust the settings accordingly.
Our modern laser treatment equipment is designed to minimize discomfort, and most people only experience discomfort the moment the laser pulses are applied to the skin. Some areas of the body are more sensitive than others, and some people may experience increased sensitivity in areas with thinner skin.
How many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments required for effective laser hair removal varies from person to person and depends on several factors, including hair type, skin color, treatment area and individual differences in the hair growth cycle.
We usually recommend a series of 6-8 treatments at 4-8 week intervals for optimal effect. After this series, maintenance treatments may be required from time to time to maintain the results.
