Laser Hair Removal (Epilation)

Laser hair removal is a treatment performed using a diode laser, which emits a focused beam of light to target and destroy hair in its active growth phase. Hairs in other stages of the growth cycle aren’t fully damaged during the session—they may grow back more slowly, but won’t be completely removed. That’s why a series of treatments is necessary to achieve lasting results. After a session, treated hairs remain in the skin and gradually move toward the surface, which can give the impression that hair is still growing. However, these hairs will fall out naturally around 14 days after the procedure, leaving the skin silky smooth. Laser hair removal is also the most effective solution for the so-called “black dots” — the visible stubble that appears just a day or two after shaving, which can’t be fully removed with razors or waxing.

How to prepare

  • Protect your skin from UV exposure. Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds before your session.
  • Discontinue the use of any products containing alcohol or retinoids. These ingredients can increase skin sensitivity and the risk of irritation.
  • Shave the treatment area thoroughly with a razor. Do not use waxing, sugaring, or epilators for at least 4–6 weeks prior to your appointment, as these methods remove the hair root that the laser targets.

Is this tight for you?

Laser hair removal is especially beneficial for individuals who:

  • Experience excessive hair growth due to hormonal imbalances (such as hirsutism)

  • Struggle with ingrown hairs caused by traditional hair removal methods

  • Want long-lasting smoothness and freedom from unwanted hair

This treatment is suitable for both younger and more mature clients. Before starting the process, a consultation with a specialist is required. During this appointment, a licensed aesthetician will assess your skin condition and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Treatment process

STEP I: SKIN DISINFECTION

STEP II: MARKING THE TREATMENT AREA

STEP III: PROTECTION OF PIGMENTED LESIONS

STEP IV: LASER TREATMENT

Results

Laser hair removal offers long-lasting results by permanently reducing unwanted hair—without the risk of irritation that often comes with traditional methods. Since the laser targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair, it is most effective on dark or black hair. Very light or grey hairs, which lack sufficient pigment, cannot be effectively treated with this method.

Post-Treatment Care

  • Cold Compresses: Apply cold compresses to the treated area as needed to soothe the skin and reduce any discomfort.
  • Sun Protection: Avoid direct sun exposure and use high-SPF sunscreen to protect the skin.
  • Pause Physical Activity: Refrain from swimming, using saunas, or engaging in intense physical activity for 2–3 days after the treatment.

Contraindications

Laser hair removal is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. The procedure should also be avoided in areas with pigmented moles, tattoos, or active bacterial or viral infections. Individuals taking oral retinoids must wait at least six months after completing treatment before undergoing laser hair removal, and those using topical retinol creams should also refrain. The procedure is not recommended for people with implanted pacemakers, epilepsy, diabetes, or autoimmune disorders. Additionally, it is unsuitable for those taking photosensitizing medications or herbal supplements, such as St. John’s wort, calendula, or angelica. A professional consultation is essential to determine whether the treatment is safe and appropriate for each individual.

During laser hair removal, the laser handpiece cools the skin, making the procedure virtually painless. Any discomfort is minimal and usually feels like gentle pinpricks, mostly in areas with a higher concentration of dark hair, such as the bikini zone. The treatment’s comfort and effectiveness are key reasons why it’s so popular and often chosen by clients at the INVICTA Anti-Aging Clinic.

We’re answering your most frequently asked questions

  • The treatment can be performed on the entire body, including the face and bikini area.

  • The hair growth cycle differs depending on the specific area being treated. On the face, regrowth typically occurs around 4–6 weeks after a session. For the torso, it usually takes about 6–8 weeks. On the limbs, the smooth skin effect can last up to 3 months.

    Importantly, with each subsequent treatment, fewer and fewer hairs grow back—resulting in progressively longer-lasting smoothness and thinner, sparser regrowth over time.

  • After disinfecting the skin in the treatment area, the cosmetologist uses a white pencil to mark the zones where the laser will be applied and carefully covers any pigmented lesions, such as moles. Once the area is prepared, they select the appropriate settings on the device and begin the procedure.

  • After the treatment, some clients may experience skin redness, small blisters caused by follicular swelling, or a sensation of intense warmth in the treated area. In some cases, the skin may darken slightly a few hours later, and a small scab may form—this typically heals within 2 to 10 days. These reactions are natural and generally mild, though they are quite rare and largely depend on individual skin sensitivity.

  • Laser hair removal is typically performed in a series of 6 to 8 sessions, depending on the color, density, and thickness of the hair. The number of treatments needed may vary from person to person, as darker and coarser hair generally responds more quickly to the laser, while lighter or finer hair may require additional sessions to achieve optimal results
