Technology adjusted to your skin and hair.

Laser hair removal aims for long-lasting reduction. Skin type, hair color and caliber, treatment area and tanning all shape the plan.

An informed decision
starts here.

Laser hair removal uses light energy absorbed by hair pigment to selectively damage the follicle. Because not all follicles are in the same growth phase, several sessions are usually needed, and response varies by area, hormones, hair color and caliber.

Different skin tones can be treated, but the device, wavelength and settings should be appropriate for the skin type and the operator’s experience. Consultation can also identify when new or unusual hair growth may be related to a hormonal condition that deserves medical assessment.

This page provides guidance but does not diagnose or replace a consultation. The final recommendation depends on a professional assessment.

What we can assess

Clear goals.
A proportionate plan.

Each goal is reviewed separately to avoid unnecessary treatment and organize options with realistic expectations.

01

Reduce growth

Decrease the amount and thickness of hair in selected areas through sessions organized around the growth cycle.

02

Protect the skin type

Choose technology and energy while considering skin color, tanning and pigmentation tendency.

03

Improve comfort

Assess areas affected by shaving irritation or ingrown hairs without claiming the laser treats every underlying cause.

Clinical assessment

Before recommending,
we need to ask.

A responsible consultation does not begin with a procedure. It begins by identifying needs, medical history, limitations and alternatives.

Talk with our team
  1. 01

    Area, density, color and caliber of hair and previous removal methods.

  2. 02

    Skin type, recent tanning, sunburn and tendency toward dark marks or keloids.

  3. 03

    Medicines, isotretinoin, photosensitivity, herpes, infection and relevant conditions.

  4. 04

    Hormonal changes or new hair growth that may warrant additional assessment.

From your first visit
to follow-up.

01

Classify

We review skin, hair, area, sun exposure and history to estimate response and risk.

02

Prepare

Shaving and pre-care instructions are provided while avoiding follicle removal and sun exposure when appropriate.

03

Protect

Individualized settings, cooling and appropriate protective eyewear are used during treatment.

04

Adjust

Tolerance and observed reduction guide intervals, energy and possible maintenance.

Before deciding

Who may be
a candidate?

Candidacy is not determined by a photograph or a trend. These are general guidelines and must always be confirmed during a consultation.

It may be useful to consider if…
  • People with pigmented hair seeking progressive, long-lasting reduction.
  • Patients able to avoid tanning and follow sun-protection guidance.
  • Those who understand that blond, gray or red hair may respond less.
  • People willing to complete several sessions and consider maintenance when necessary.
It is better to postpone or ask first if…
  • Recent tanning, sunburn, infection, a wound or an active flare in the treatment area.
  • Photosensitizing medicines or isotretinoin without a specific review.
  • Pregnancy when the protocol or device recommends postponing.
  • Expectations of removing all hair in one session or achieving the same response with every hair color.

Safety and expectations

One setting does not suit every skin type.

Device selection and experience with different skin tones are just as important as the technology itself.

01

Redness and sensitivity around follicles are common and are usually temporary.

02

Burns, blisters, pigment changes, scarring or herpes reactivation are possible risks.

03

Protective eyewear must match the wavelength and be worn by the patient and staff during emission.

04

Sun exposure and tanning increase pigment available to absorb energy and may raise injury risk.

Information before
your consultation.

01Is laser hair removal permanent?

It can produce long-lasting reduction, but response varies and some areas need maintenance. Reduction is more accurate than guaranteed total removal.

02How many sessions will I need?

It depends on area, growth cycle, hair color and thickness, skin type and hormonal factors. The estimate is adjusted to your response.

03Can darker skin tones be treated?

Technologies and settings exist for different skin tones. The operator should have experience with your skin type and review any recent tanning.

04Should I shave before treatment?

Shaving without pulling out the follicle is commonly advised, but exact timing depends on the device and area. You will receive specific instructions.
