Valencia Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal removes hair through its light intensity. This light intensity, once it is absorbed by the melanin contained in the black hair, is transformed into heat and eliminates the hair bulb with the advantage that it does not affect the adjacent tissues. We call this process selective photothermolysis.

Our Alexandrite laser in Valencia hair removal treatments are indicated for any area of the body: face -eyebrows, upper lip, jaw and, in general, any area with some type of facial hair-, armpits, arms, legs, groin, torso, back, etc. And, of course, the hair removal we perform is suitable for both women and men.

Things to know about Alexandrite laser hair removal:

• For the treatment to be effective, it will be necessary to carry out a minimum of 3/4 sessions, although the normal thing is that 6 to 8 are needed. From the 3rd session, the result in most cases is very evident.
• In men the result is not so striking and a few more sessions are required, since hair growth is hormone-dependent.
• The number of sessions cannot be predetermined, as it will depend on the response of each patient.
• The Alexandrite laser is effective on dark hair (brown and brown), and has no effect on blonde or gray hair, so it will not be possible to bleach the hair before attending the session.
• It is advised that the skin is not tanned when the session is carried out. Neither can artificial tanning methods be used, such as; self-tanning creams or wipes, makeup…
• In short, anything that increases skin tone is not recommended, as it increases the probability of burning, and forces us to lower the intensity of the laser to avoid it, the session being less effective..
• After a few days and when the skin has recovered its normal characteristics, you can sunbathe. In the face area you have to be more cautious and avoid sun exposure (or total protection in the area) at least 20 days after the session, since the upper lip and cheeks are areas that stain with some ease.
• On the day of the session, it is advisable not to use products that contain alcohol or perfume (deodorants, moisturizers, makeup…) on the area to be treated and if you have used any product, indicate this before starting.
• It is advisable to shave the area 2/3 days before the session, except when it comes to the face.
• Hair removal cannot be performed on dark tattoos, so you must report the existence of these in the area.
• After each session the skin will become erythematous, and in most cases a small peripollicular edema will occur, which is totally normal and will disappear in a few hours. To alleviate the burning sensation we recommend applying Aloe Vera gel in the area, you can even put it in the fridge before applying it, which will increase the feeling of freshness.
• Unwanted effects: Pain during the session, burning sensation, hypo or hyper pigmentation in the area, paradoxical effect in the facial area…
• You should inform if you take any medication, vitamin complex, iron, oral contraceptives, acne treatments… since many of these products are photosensitive.
• Contraindications: it is not recommended to perform it in pregnant or breastfeeding women, nor in people who suffer or have suffered a tumor process, without the consent of the doctor who is treating them. If you have any hypertrophic or keloid scars, you must indicate this before undergoing the session.
