Laser Arm Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a progressive and safe process of hair removal that destroys almost all the hair on your arms. The results achieved are proven and sustainable.

Laser hair removal is based on the light beam projection of the area to be treated, in this case the arm. In contact with the melanin contained in the hair, the ray heats and burns the hair at the bulb level.

Thanks to aesthetic medicine studies, men and women of all skin tones are now subject to laser hair removal care. People with fair skin, dark skin, tan and very dark skin may have access to this definitive care. Only patient with red or white hair can't use laser hair removal. The pigment present in the hair is such that it is not responsive to the effect of the laser.

During the laser hair removal process, medical professionals regard the arm as a whole.

This procedure concerns the depilation of the arm, of the forearm, of the back of the hands and of the fingers. This procedure must be conducted under the supervision of a physician.

The patient must make a doctor's appointment. During this initial consultation, the specialist questions the motives of the patient and discusses the area to be treated.

They also evaluate any contraindications that might bring into question the conclusive removal of hair, such as the existence of moles, tanning, tattoos and pregnancy or breast-feeding.

The number of sessions varies depending on the patient, the type of skin and the density of the hair. It will take on average about 5 to 10 sessions for a man and 4 to 6 sessions for a woman.

Sessions should be spaced between 4 and 6 weeks apart to allow the hair to grow back naturally.

The total length of the session ranges from 10 minutes to 45 minutes.

After the session, the doctor will apply a soothing cream to decrease the burning sensation.

As sessions progress, hair regrowth decreases. The hair is getting less numerous and thinner. Around 90 percent of the hairiness disappeared at the end of the sessions. The arms, the forearms, the back of the hands and the knuckles are then bare. The skin becomes clean and smooth to the touch.

Some maintenance sessions are needed to sustain a satisfactory result.
