How the Method Works
The technique is based on the action of laser light. The beam affects melanin — the pigment inside the hair. It heats and destroys it together with the root, and in two weeks, it falls out. During one session, it is possible to get rid of up to 40% of unwanted hair, as the laser affects only those follicles that are in the active growth phase.
Do not worry about possible discomfort during the process. The pain threshold is different for everyone, as it depends on skin sensitivity. If you wish, we use a local anesthetic cream. In addition, our specialists always adjust the device’s intensity individually.

- Minimal discomfort. Thanks to the cooling system and our specialists’ professionalism, pain sensations are minimized. You will be able to relax during the session and feel comfortable.
- Safety. We consider your medical precautions and apply an individual approach. The procedure does not harm the skin because the laser affects only the melanin in the hair, without touching the blood or lymphatic systems.

Preparation for the Procedure
For two weeks before the session:
- avoid tanning and visiting tanning beds;
- do not take tetracycline antibiotics, fluoroquinolones, and sulfonamides;
- refrain from hair removal methods that pull hair out (tweezers, wax, sugaring).
Three days before the procedure:
- do not use alcohol-containing products in the treatment area;
- avoid aggressive skincare products (scrubs, peels);
- moderately moisturize the skin with a light cream or lotion.
Shaving is allowed so that the hair remains in the growth phase affected by the laser.
If you have questions or need individual recommendations, our specialists will be happy to consult you.
Post-Session Care Rules
To consolidate the result, the following rules should be followed:
- For two weeks: do not sunbathe or visit a tanning bed.
- During the first three days: avoid hot baths, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools with chlorinated water; do not wipe the treated area with alcohol-containing products.
- Before going outside: always apply sunscreen with SPF of at least 35 on the skin.
