Laser hair removal, also known as progressive epilation, is a hair-removal method that progressively reduces regrowth until the hair stops growing back for good. This treatment is increasingly requested both by women with excessive facial or body hair and by men who want to reduce hair on the back and legs for sport or to match current grooming trends.
The method is based on the modern concept of selective photothermolysis: depending on the wavelength of the laser used, the light interacts predominantly with melanin, selectively damaging the hair bulb. Laser hair removal is a precision treatment that should be performed by a doctor you trust, who is best placed to understand, based on your phototype and skin characteristics, what precautions to take and what results can be achieved.
To increase the effectiveness of the treatment, the area must be shaved at least 24 hours before the procedure. Waxing is not recommended, as it would remove the hair bulb, which is the true target of the laser.
Laser effectiveness is greater with thick, dark hair and lower with light, thin hair. At the end of the course of sessions, it is estimated that about 90% of the hair does not regrow, and the few remaining hairs appear thinner.
Factors Affecting the Treatment
Several factors affect how successful and long-lasting laser hair removal will be. These include:
Hair growth phases (hair in the growing phase responds better)
Hair colour (dark hair responds better than light)
Different follicle depths
The body area to be treated
The dermatologist is the skin specialist who can best quantify these variables and their impact on the success of the epilation.
Treatable Areas
Laser hair removal can be performed on practically every area of the body. The most frequent requests include:
For women
Underarms, bikini area (partial or full), legs (half leg or full leg), arms, upper lip, chin, abdomen and back. The facial area (except the eye contour) is also frequently treated.
For men
Back, shoulders, chest, abdomen, neck (below the beard), groin and legs.
Why in a Dermatology Clinic
- A preliminary dermatological assessment to exclude suspicious lesions and identify any contraindications
- The ability to manage any complications (superficial burns, pigmentary changes, folliculitis) with medical expertise
- Personalisation of the laser parameters to each individual skin and hair type
- Monitoring of moles during the sessions
How Many Sessions Are Needed
On average, 6-10 sessions spaced 4-8 weeks apart are needed. The exact number depends on the type of hair (dark, thick hair responds better than light, fine hair), the phototype, any hormonal factors and the area treated.
After the initial course, a maintenance session every 6-12 months may be advisable to manage any residual or new hair.
