Permanent Laser Hair Removal

You are tired of more or less working traditional hair removal methods? You don't know what to choose anymore? Hot wax or cold wax? Or electric after all? Then opt for permanent hair removal with laser. The principle of laser hair removal is simple: a light beam, with a well-defined wavelength, eradicates the hairs with their roots, by destroying the melanin.

Clarity 2 laser for safe and truly lasting results

At Skincenters we use for laser hair removal the best technology available on the market today, the Clarity II laser. This contains an Alexandrite 755nm and an ND-Yag 1064nm wavelength. Thanks to these 2 wavelengths, all hair and skin types are treatable. It is a single-fiber laser, which means that it has no energy loss and is therefore up to 45% stronger than conventional lasers.

Laser hair removal is up to 5x faster compared to IPL treatment due to the larger spot sizes. It is also safer because the Clarity II has a built-in temperature measurement.

The Clarity II laser removes hair in an efficient, fast and virtually painless manner.

Note: the duration and results of a treatment may vary from person to person and are therefore only indicative.

Preparation and aftercare for laser hair removal

It is important to know that a longer period before starting laser hair removal, you may no longer depilate with wax, epilation & wax. You may still shave up to max. 2 days before the treatment.

Treatment cannot be performed when:

  • You are tanned by sun, self-tanner, spray tan or tanning bed
  • You are pregnant or breastfeeding

After the treatment, a reaction of the skin is possible, including redness, slight swelling,... For this we use a specially developed cream at Skincenters, Laserat. This provides immediate cooling and faster recovery after the treatment.
Sun exposure should be avoided and the application of SPF50 is necessary.

Sessions

The number of sessions depends on several factors. The hairs always grow in different phases, making multiple treatments necessary. With the Clarity II laser we see an average of 4 to 6 treatments.

FAQ

What sets Skincenters apart from other centers in terms of permanent hair removal?

At Skincenters we always have the latest technologies at our disposal. For example, we have recently introduced a Single Fiber laser for laser hair removal. With a Single Fiber laser, our Clarity II, there is no energy loss and is therefore up to 45% stronger than traditional lasers such as diode or IPL. Also, the fiber laser has high power and the pulse duration has a wide range from very short to long, which can remove both light and dark hairs. Thanks to the two wavelengths, all skin types are treatable. Treatment is up to 5x faster compared to IPL treatment due to the larger spot sizes. It is also safer because the Clarity II has a built-in temperature measurement.

Is laser hair removal painful?

During treatment, we use cold air to minimize discomfort. The treatment is usually perceived as not painful.

Will my hair stay completely gone after laser hair removal?

Medical reports speak of a successful result with permanent hair reduction between 80 and 95%. In the unlikely event that hair does return, it will be much less, thinner and lighter in color. New hairs can always appear, which would also appear if no laser was used. An annual maintenance is therefore recommended.
During the intake or first treatment, the expected results are discussed.

Can I also start laser hair removal as a man?

Yes, both men and women can be treated. The most common areas for permanent hair removal in men are the back and chest.

Is laser hair removal allowed in the summer?

The treatment can be performed in the summer, but it is not recommended to sunbathe immediately before or after the treatment.

What about epilation and waxing with laser hair removal?

You may not wax or epilate during the treatment process & you must stop this at least 3 weeks before the first treatment. 

Shaving is allowed up to 3 days before treatment. 

 

What is the aftercare for permanent hair removal?

A temporary reaction is possible after the treatment. We therefore recommend using Laserat cream afterwards to reduce irritation.

If irritation occurs, it is also best to watch out for the first 24h-48h with bathing, sauna, swimming,...

From what age is laser hair removal allowed?

From the age of 18 you can opt for permanent hair removal. If you wish to do this earlier, you will need permission from a parent.

Will laser hair removal treatment be reimbursed?

No, in Belgium the treatment is not reimbursed.

Can there be a reaction after laser hair removal?

A mild reaction is always possible.

Redness and/or irritation are common reactions and therefore normal. These disappear on average after 2h to max 48h.
