What is IPL / Laser Ultimate Hair Removal?
Permanent hair removal is a safe, fast and painless procedure, which permanently removes unwanted hairs using laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) technology. All areas of the body (face, armpit, groin, legs, etc.) can be epilated, and damaged hair will never grow again.
What are the results of the definitive hair removal treatment?
- permanent destruction of the hairs in the desired area
- eliminating the need for painful classic hair removal
- long-term results
- allows hair removal from all areas of the body.
- after each session, 15-20% of the hair in the treated area will gradually fall after 1-3 weeks.
- at the end of the treatment, 80% to 90% of the hairs are permanently destroyed.
The definitive hair removal treatment is only effective when the hair is in the active growth phase (anagen), and the darker the hair (it contains more melanin) and the thicker it is, the faster it is removed.
How is the treatment carried out?
Preparation
Because every woman is different, the definitive hair removal treatment starts with a free consultation and a free sensitivity test, after which our specialists recommend a personalized treatment, depending on the appropriate definitive hair removal technology and the number of sessions required.
Duration
The number of sessions required depends on several factors such as skin phototype, color and characteristics of the hair (thickness), area treated, age and sex, hormonal metabolism.
A session lasts from a few minutes in the case of small areas to an hour and a half for large areas. The period between two sessions is 6-8 weeks, depending on the area treated.

After completion of the treatment, it is recommended to hold a maintenance session once or twice a year.
