THE PROCEDURE WILL LET YOU:

• feel the comfort -  in everyday life, while traveling, on vacation you'll never have to shave legs, underarms and bikini again. End of hair visible under the skin even just after shaving, their growing into the skin and permament inflammation.

• enjoy always silky smooth skin - there is no more to say.


SAFETY

Although laser hair reduction is non-invasive method, it is not without risk of complications.

The most common include: folliculitis, superficial skin burns, redness (lasting up to 14 days after surgery), staining or discoloration of the skin (retreating to about a year after surgery), swelling, blisters, skin bruising (retreating to about 14 days after surgery ), scabs (inferior to about a month after the surgery).

It should be noted that although the permanent color change of the skin or scars after laser hair reduction are rare, there still is a risk of their formation and client must be aware of this issue.

The risk of side effects depends greatly on factors such as natural complexion (the darker skin the higher risk) and exposure to the sun in the period before and after the procedure (tanning in the period before and immediately after treatment increase significantly the risk of complications).


BEFORE

Before the first treatment dermatological consultation is carried out, intended to exclude any contraindications to the procedure. Dermatologist performs laser test, which is aimed at selecting the appropriate laser parameters.

During the consultation you should talk to the doctor about the expected and possible results of the treatment, the expectations, as well as of all the circumstances and concerns related to the procedure.

If there is no any adverse reaction of the skin to the laser beam after the laser test, the treatment can be performed even on the next day.


DURATION OF TREATMENT

Duration of treatment depends on the treated body part. Epilation of both armpits takes about 3 minutes, the bikini - about 10 minutes, and epilation of calves about 1 hour.


HYPERSENSITIVITY TO PAIN

If you know in advance that you have a low resistance to pain, we recommend to use analgesics before the treatment, for example Ibuprom.

You can also apply EMLA cream a few hours before the procedure available at the pharmacy (before using this medicine consult your doctor or pharmacist).

Right before the treatment, the cream should be washed from the skin surface.


AFTER

Immediately after the treatment you can go home.

To about 2 - 4 weeks after procedure from the dead bulbs hair stumps will be released, what may remind the regrowth, but the situation is completely normal.

If necessary, up to four weeks after surgery (three weeks, when treatment includes the face) you can come for the checkout.


FREQUENCY OF TREATMENT

Treatments are performed approximately every 2-3 months - the next treatment should be performed when the hair grow back after previous surgery.


HOW MANY TREATMENTS

It is impossible to predetermine the quantity of procedures that need to be taken to reduce the number of unnecessary hair - it is very much dependent on personal attributes.

As a rule, with fair skin and dark hair a series of about 4 - 10 treatments is performed, with dark complexion, this quantity increases.

After a series of treatments, in order to consolidate results, you must periodically perform "reminding treatment" (an average one treatment per year).


ANAGEN, CATAGEN, TELOGEN

Laser hair reduction treatment is a serial treatment, because the hair can be destroyed only during the stage of growth (anagen), and not all the hair grow at the same time. Only in phase of anagenu between the hair shaft and hair follicle exists close connection. The ultimate result of the laser is a partial or total disruption of such hair's growth, which means that they do not grow back or grow back much thinner and lighter.

At the time of treatment some of the hair remain in the catagen (time of rest, the hair stop growing) or telogen stage (the period of hair falling). In the second and third phase of the cycle, the connection is no longer accurate, so the hair can not be destroyed.

During one treatment, a few to several percent of hair can be permanently removed and it depends on the area of the body.


WHAT AFFECTS THE RESULTS  

Mainly - individual factors, and hair color. The darker color of the hair, the better result. The best results obtain patients with clear complexion and dark hair.

Laser does not remove very bright, red and gray hair.


MYTHS

Completely painless or painless.
Although most people tolerate the treatment well and requires no anesthesia, the declaration that it is painless is untrue. Laser always causes some discomfort, and in rare cases pain requiring adequate anesthesia.

Permanent depilation: 100% lasting, 0% hair regrowth.
This ascertainment in the light of currently available research is abuse.

We have the best, most efficient equipment for laser hair reduction.
At the moment there is no compelling evidence of the superiority of some laser systems used for hair reduction over another. All of them should be considered as an alternative.


FACTS

The results of laser hair reduction vary greatly in different individuals and there is no way to predict them in a particular case.

Ideal candidates for laser hair reduction are people with very dark hair and pale skin - among them very significant, sustained reduction in hair density can be observed.

Even in the case of ideal candidates laser depilation is not always effective.

From the results of laser hair reduction are the most satisfied people with reasonable, realistic expectations.


QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Am I a good candidate for laser hair reduction?
Absolute requirement is that the hair has a darker color than the skin surrounding. People with very dark skin are not good candidates for laser hair reduction, even if their hair meets this condition. Also, tanned people with light hair are not suitable candidates for this type of hair reduction.

What impact on the laser depilation has skin color?
With people with clear skin, removing unnecessary hair is easy - it requires fewer treatments, and gives much better results. Persons with a dark complexion may also undergo laser hair reduction but they have to know that they will require more sessions and the final result may be worse than with those with clear skin. You must keep in mind that people with dark skin are also exposed to greater risk of complications.

What impact on the laser depilation has sunbathing?
Tanning and laser depilation can not go hand in hand. Tanning skin before laser depilation forces to reduce the laser power, and thus very much reduces the effectiveness of the treatment. Jhat impact on the laser depilation has hair color?
Dark hair better absorb the laser energy and therefore are easier to remove. Włosy rude lub koloru blond są niezwykle trudne do wydepilowania za pomocą lasera. Red or blonde hair are very difficult to remove with laser. They require multiple repeat treatments and the results are difficult to predict.

How many treatments are necessary to achieve the hair reduction by laser?
You can not predict number of treatments. In most cases, with clear skin and dark hair a series of about 4-10 treatments is required. With dark skin and / or fair hair, this number is increasing. After a series of treatments "reminding procedure" should be performed (average 1 treatment per year).
