There are many explanations why men and women should use torso and stomach laser hair removal:

• Aesthetics: Excessive hair on the chest and stomach can often be unsightly in men. In women, on the other hand, too much hair growth on the umbilical line can be linked to masculinity and can cause social discomfort.
• Hygienic: bacteria, germs and other impurities may become stuck in the hair and cause unpleasant body odors, particularly in the armpits.
• Practical: no shaving or waxing, the laser hair removal absolutely frees you from this chore.
• Medical: after shaving, the skin is damaged and exposed to ingrown hair and folliculitis. Thus, laser hair removal helps the hair to relax and prevent irritation.

It takes 6 to 8 sessions for women to get rid of the umbilical line of hair. The sessions are about 6 weeks apart, the time that the hair grows is noticeable. Each session will last between 15 and 20 minutes.

The doctor will check the skin on the day of the appointment for any medical conditions that could affect the operation. The wearing of protective glasses is compulsory for both the doctor and you. After setting up the device, the practitioner scans the area using a handpiece that emits light pulses.
