FAQs

  • Why should I choose Laser hair removal?

    Usually, Laser hair removal is performed for cosmetic reasons; however, in certain cases it is medically essential! For women with intense folliculitis (“spots” developing on skin a few days after waxing or shaving), Laser is the only medically indicated treatment.

  • Is Laser hair removal effective?

    Absolutely! Lasers are used in Medicine for more than 20 years. Scientific, clinical studies support and demonstrate the undeniable results, as well as the safety of this process.

    It is also worth noting that the state-of-the-art Lasers we use in Dermadvance achieve hair elimination with the minimum number of treatment sessions, while being effective for all skin type, even for people with hormonal disorders.

  • How does Laser hair removal work?

    Selective photothermolysis is the main function achieved with Lasers.

    Hair’s melanin absorbs Laser-emitted light. Then, light energy induces temperature increase within the hair follicle, where most melanin is accumulated. This temperature increase destroys safely the hair root, as well as its ability to produce new hair.

  • How often should I have a hair removal session? Why is one time not enough?

    To answer this briefly, we could say that hair follicles that are successfully destroyed are those being in the “Growth” phase on the day of the treatment session.

    The hair root has a specific life cycle, consisting of 3 phases:

    • •   Anagen phase (growth)
    • •   Catagen phase (relaxation)
    • •   Telogen phase (hair shedding)

    Laser destroys successfully hair follicles (hair roots) which are in the first phase. But not all hair follicles are in the same phase at the same time!

    This is why more than 1 session is required.

    In particular, the average time between Laser sessions ranges from 4 to 6 weeks. The intervals between sessions, as well as the total number of sessions, depend on individual factors.

  • Is it suitable for my skin?

    The ultramodern Laser devices of Dermadvance have incredible results on all skin types; from light-colored skin to the darkest ones. Laser wavelength is 755 nm, the safest one!

  • Which areas are suitable for Laser hair removal? Can it be applied on genitals?

    Yes, of course! Most frequently, Laser hair removal is applied on the following areas:

    • •   face – upper lip
    • •   arms and legs
    • •   bikini and sensitive area
    • •   shoulders
    • •   underarms
    • •   chest
  • How many sessions are required?

    The time intervals between treatment sessions, as well as the total number of sessions, depend on individual factors:

    • •   Anatomical area
    • •   Hair growth rate
    • •   Hair quality
    • •   Biological factors

    Usually an average number of 8 sessions are required. The time interval between sessions increases as time goes by. The new Laser for hair removal is ultramodern, achieving even better results, while it is absolutely painless, thus less time and fewer sessions are required.

  • Is it permanent?

    Yes. Laser hair removal with the Arion II Alexandrite Laser guarantees permanent hair reduction by 90%, always taking into account hair color and thickness, as well as your skin color. This is performed before the first application so that to inform you of the results that will be achieved at the end of your treatment sessions.

  • How safe is it? Is it not dangerous?

    No, Laser hair removal is not dangerous at all, it is 100% safe. Medical Lasers used for hair removal have a particular target, melanin within the hair follicle, leaving the surrounding skin intact; therefore it is absolutely 100% safe.
