What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a modern way to get rid of unwanted hair for a long time or even permanently.
The procedure uses a special beam of light (laser) that targets the hair's melanin.
In this way, the hair follicle is heated and destroyed without affecting the surrounding area, thus stopping or delaying the growth of the hair.

The Laser Hair Removal Process: step by step
Laser hair removal at Facemed Clinic is a procedure that is simple and safe. Let's look together what a typical session looks like:
- STEP 01
Preparation of the area
Before applying the laser, the area is thoroughly cleaned of any makeup, lotion or deodorant. If necessary, an anaesthetic cream may be applied, especially if it is a sensitive area of the face or body.
- STEP 02
Laser application
The qualified specialist will apply the handheld laser device to the skin. The laser light beam precisely targets the hair follicles.
During application you may feel a momentary sensation of heat or a slight stinging sensation. This sensation is quite tolerable for most people.
- STEP 03
Laser hair removal safety
The treatment is carried out in a specially designed laser room and those in the room, those in charge and those receiving the treatment wear special protective glasses during the session.
- STEP 04
Immediately after treatment
A soothing cream is applied to the area to reduce any irritation and moisturize the skin.

Frequently asked questions
If you have used another method of hair removal, you should wait for the hairs to grow a few millimetres. If you have not had the area waxed by any other method and the hairs are long, they will be trimmed with a clipper in our office. Optionally, you can apply anaesthetic cream if it is a sensitive area (face or bikini) about an hour before your appointment.
The number of sessions depends on various factors such as the area of application, the colour and density of the hair, as well as other factors such as hormonal imbalances. Some may need more sessions and others with fewer sessions may have permanent results. Generally 6-8 sessions are usually needed and in men possibly more. Often in areas such as the face, hair appears more quickly but this is not something to worry about because in the end we will get to the results you want.
The treatment is harmless and completely safe. Of course, it must be carried out in an appropriate medical facility and by experienced trained staff. We also provide you with written instructions for post-treatment care, which you are advised to follow.
Laser hair removal is not recommended over a tattoo because it can spoil the color. But with the precision of the Alexandrite laser, it can be applied around the tattoo without any problem.
Laser hair removal is an almost painless procedure. In most parts of the body, the discomfort is very slight, but in areas that are sensitive to pain (such as the bikini line), an anaesthetic cream is applied before the application. In addition, there is the option of using ice during the application, an effective practice to reduce discomfort.
They are both effective options for permanent hair removal. Their main difference is in the wavelength they emit. The Alexandrite laser (755nm) targets the hair's melanin better and is ideal for light skins with dark hair. The diode laser (800-810nm) has a longer wavelength, so it allows it to penetrate deeper into the skin and is more effective on darker skins.
Laser hair removal is done all year round, even in the summer. However, it is important after the treatment to avoid excessive sun exposure for at least a week and to use a sunscreen with a high protection factor, so that there is no risk of freckles and discoloration.
Conclusion
Laser hair removal is an effective method to get rid of unwanted hair. Without the hassle of a razor, the laser provides smooth skin, without irritation and folliculitis.
