Permanent laser hair removal

Excellent results have been achieved in recent years with the use of laser technology in the field of hair removal. In just a few treatments, unsightly unwanted hair can be permanently removed.
Fast and generally painless, laser hair removal can be performed on practically any part of the face and body without exception, and now also on all skin types.

More and more men are also turning to laser treatment for beards (folliculitis), shoulders, the back and torso.

Indications

• Hairs should be dark (on all the facial and body regions).

Technique

After the application of a cold gel, a laser light is passed over the area to be treated. The wave length of the laser ensures the destruction of the hair follicle by selective photothermolysis. The Clinic Lémanic uses the latest high performace lasers providing successful treatment for all skin types, pale, olive or black.

Technical improvements now allow rapid hair removal over large surfaces. After the treatment normal activities can be resumed.
