Laser hair removal achieves very good results on several areas of the body, depending on your particular needs. If you are not comfortable with classic hair removal methods or are afraid of pain, this option is comfortable and easy to bear.

Among the most sought-after areas for permanent laser hair removal are: armpit, groin, face, legs. At Avra Aesthetic Institute, permanent epilation can be effectively performed on a larger number of body areas, apart from those listed, for example in the sideburns, bikini area, periareolar, arms, shoulders, buttocks, abdomen, back, there are also the possibility of options of full body type, for both women and men, because this permanent laser hair removal method can be accessed by both sexes.

The permanent laser hair removal procedure can be performed at the Avra Institute all year round, although it is rather recommended in the cold season, when exposure to the sun is less, so that sessions with a higher laser intensity can be performed , on lighter skin.

Hair on the body develops in three stages – growth (anagen stage), rest (catagen stage), shedding (telogen stage) and, precisely for this reason, it cannot be removed in one permanent laser hair removal session, but multiple sessions and extended downtime are needed, as only hair in the anagen phase can be treated.

If you are wondering how many sessions of permanent hair removal are necessary, the number varies, depending on your needs and factors such as skin color, hair thickness, density, amount of pigment in the hairs, hair growth cycle, but also of the results of the previous sessions.

The duration of the procedure depends on the area of the body on which it is performed, and a session does not exceed three hours when it is performed on the whole body. Moreover, permanent laser hair removal sessions must be done as soon as the hair reappears, on average we have a period of 4-6 weeks between sessions.

This period gradually increases, until the interval associated with the maintenance therapy administration procedure, around 1-2 sessions per year.

The technician performing the procedure is best able to assess the laser treated areas to determine if they can perform another permanent hair removal session.

In general, the effectiveness of permanent hair removal is great for most people. However, there are also people for whom this method does not give the desired results, but this happens very rarely, regardless of the number of sessions performed, the reasons being, at present, unknown for this particular situation.

Sometimes the explanations can vary, from not respecting the recommended number of sessions, or the interval between appointments, to the incorrect setting of the device for the specific type of skin and hair.

The results depend on several factors, and the hair does not disappear permanently in all cases.

There are methods of permanent hair removal that can be done at home, are convenient and, in addition, have the advantage of offering privacy and flexibility to users. However, these methods are not as effective as professional permanent hair removal, performed in a specialized clinic.

Permanent hair removal at home is usually with IPL technology and is not suitable for all skin types, it takes longer to produce results, the hair will grow back after the treatment is stopped, the results will not be as intense.

In contrast, the definitive professional hair removal, diode laser hair removal, has a higher intensity, is fast, effective, suitable for all skin types and requires fewer sessions.

Permanent epilation is an area for which training is necessary for the specialist, as well as information from the clients, on the effects and the way the procedure is carried out. So, before you make a decision, carefully choose the clinic and the specialist who will perform your procedure, so as not to subject yourself to unwanted risks.

It is important that, before the definitive hair removal procedure, you tell the specialist if you suffer from certain conditions or if you are taking medication.

If you want to undergo a laser hair removal treatment, it is important to follow the specialist’s preparation advice. For four weeks before the procedure, it is important to avoid waxing or machine hair removal, going to the tanning salon, as well as natural exposure to the sun, which could sensitize the skin. Diode laser hair removal has the ability to affect skin pigment, including tanning products.

The feeling of discomfort can be alleviated with the help of cold compresses, as well as with certain moisturizing creams, which you can discuss with the specialist.

In addition, avoid the use of strong soaps and choose, instead, rather dermato-cosmetic cleaning products.

Exposure to the sun should also be avoided after epilation sessions and, if necessary, the use of a high protection factor is recommended.
