How to prepare for laser hair removal ?

Before starting the laser epilation procedure it is necessary to prepare for it. At least one month before the scheduled date of the treatment you should resign from waxing, depilation or hair-raising with tweezers. During this time you can only use a razor. Hair should be shaved the day before the treatment and the skin cannot be tanned. It is extremely important that you stop using photosensitizers about a month before laser hair removal, otherwise the patient is at risk of an allergic reaction and burn. Laser epilation is not performed in people with multiple pigmented lesions or pregnant women. Patients suffering from any chronic disease require medical consultation. The skin after laser hair removal should be protected from the sun. Immediately after epilation, a slight redness of the skin is most often observed, combined with swelling around exposed hair follicles lasting about 30 minutes. Detailed information about the treatment is discussed during direct consultation.

4 weeks prior to the laser hair removal treatment session, do not use any creams or ointments with vitamin A, vitamin C, fruit acids and retinoids in the area you want to treat. 1 week prior to the laser hair removal treatment session, stop using photosensitive (phototoxic, photoallergenic) and herbal medicines (St. John’s wort, marigold).

1 week prior to the laser hair removal procedure, discontinue the use of cosmetic products with peeling properties (e.g. peeling/scraping)

1 week before laser hair removal, if necessary, cosmetic products can be used to hydrate the skin because the treated skin surface cannot be dry or irritated.

1 day before the treatment session, shave your hair thoroughly with a razor and leave a small piece of hair unshaven. This unshaved area will undergo a “Patch Test” to assess the color and thickness of the hair by a laser therapist. On the day of the treatment session, the skin should be washed but creams, lotions and deodorants should be avoided.

Note: Laser hair removal procedures in the bikini area are not carried out during the menstrual period. In addition, increased soreness usually occurs with treatments carried out just before the scheduled menstrual period.

Laser hair removal – the course of treatment

How does laser hair removal work ? Laser hair removal in PRIVE Gdansk uses the thermal effect that is created when a light beam of a certain length is absorbed by a suitable dye (chromophore). This effect could be compared to the heating of dark objects in the sun. The resulting thermal energy can selectively destroy structures (e.g. hair follicles) containing the target chromophore. The described phenomenon is called photothermolysis. The cyclic course of hair growth is extremely important for Gdansk laser hair removal. The full cycle consists of phases: active growth phase so called anagen, regression phase so called catagen and rest phase called telogen. In anagen that lasts from 2-6 years, hair growth is made to length. At the end of this phase, the activity of the cells responsible for hair growth is reduced and the catagen begins, lasting from 2 to 4 weeks, during which the hair’s germ cells evolve. During the three to four months of telogenesis, the old hair falls out, while new germ cells appear, giving the new hair a percentile. This hair successively enters the anagen phase again.

FAQ -Laser Hair Removal Gdansk

After how many treatments does laser hair removal bring constant results ?

The number of treatments required is different for each person – it is not clear how many sessions will be needed to achieve the desired effect. The number of sessions also depends on the area undergoing the epilation treatment.

In the case of laser hair removal performed in women without hormonal disorders, it is assumed that within the abdomen, hands, back, face and décolleté there is a need to perform about 5-6 treatments. On the other hand, on the legs, in the bikini area and underarms, permanent hair removal is usually performed after 3-4 treatments, and in some cases even 2.

Can hair grow back after a series of laser hair removal treatments ?

Laser hair removal treatments allow to get rid of about 96% of excessive hair, while the remaining amount of hair is significantly weakened and lightened, which makes it hardly visible. The hair does not return to the state before a series of laser hair removal treatments, however, individual hairs can renew themselves. Therefore, it is recommended to perform resembling treatments once a year or once in two years (or less frequently, depending on how fast the hair grows). Such action serves to maintain satisfactory results.

At what age is laser hair removal recommended ?

Laser hair removal can be performed at any age, but it is recommended to start a series of treatments not earlier than at the age of 16. Then the hormone metabolism stabilizes and the condition of the hair usually does not change anymore.

Nowadays, excessive hair is an increasingly common condition in young people – probably related to diet. Products containing e.g. growth hormones have a negative impact on the human body and changes in the hormonal economy have a direct effect on hair growth.

Patients under 18 years of age must visit their parents.
