Who Can Benefit from Laser Hair Removal
Fotona’s long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser reaches the hair follicle deep in the skin and disables it with heat, while its cooling system protects the surface. It is suitable for men and women, and for all skin types, including tanned skin.
| Area | Common reasons |
|---|---|
| Face and upper lip | Fine facial hair, beard shaping |
| Underarms | Smoother skin, less irritation from shaving |
| Arms and legs | Long-term reduction instead of waxing |
| Bikini line | Fewer ingrown hairs and bumps |
We postpone treatment during pregnancy, and on sunburnt or broken skin.
Frequently asked questions about laser hair removal
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It gives long-term reduction. Most patients see far less hair after a full course, with occasional top-up sessions.
Does it work on darker or tanned skin?
Yes. The Nd:YAG wavelength is suited to all skin types, including tanned skin.
Does it hurt?
Most patients feel a quick warm snap. Cooling is used with every pulse.
How should I prepare?
Shave the area 3 to 4 days before, and avoid waxing or plucking for a few weeks beforehand.
How many sessions will I need?
Usually 6 to 8, because hair grows in cycles and each session catches the hairs in their growth phase.
