LASER HAIR REMOVAL
Say Goodbye To Waxing & Shaving
Unwanted hair growth on the face and body is a common aesthetic concern, but often leaves people feeling too embarrassed to seek medical help. While shaving, waxing and threading are useful to temporarily remove unwanted hair, the effects are only that – temporary. It is also not unusual for the hair to grow back thicker, faster and darker. Alternatively, Laser Hair Removal is a safe and effective treatment to remove unwanted hair in areas of concern, leaving you with a naturally soft and smooth appearance.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Laser Hair Removal works by targeting hair follicles going through the anagen phase (also known as the active growth phase). Using controlled pulses of energy from the laser beam, active hair follicles sitting just beneath the surface of the skin are targeted to disrupt the growth cycle. The energy heats the hair and destroys the root to safely kill the follicle and prevent the hair from growing. Since lasers target pigmentation (in this case, the color pigmentation of the hair) the treatment does not touch or damage surrounding areas of tissue. Since not all hair follicles will be in the growth phase at the same time, a course of treatment is recommended to ensure the growth of all follicles is disrupted
RESULTS & RECOVERY
Results will show immediately after treatment, with a course of treatments recommended depending on the target area, your skin tone, and the mass of unwanted hair. A top-up treatment is usually recommended after 12 months to ensure long-lasting success. The treatment causes minimal pain, though some people experience mild redness and sensitivity which can be reduced through the application of aloe gel after the treatment.

FAQs about laser hair removal
Laser hair removal is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses advanced laser technology to safely and effectively remove unwanted hair. It targets the hair follicles with laser energy, preventing future hair growth while preserving the surrounding skin.
The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicles and inhibits their ability to grow hair. The process is precise and targets only the hair follicles, leaving the surrounding skin unharmed.
Yes, laser hair removal is safe and FDA-approved. It is suitable for all skin types, and our skilled practitioners at Éternel Clinic ensure that the treatment is performed with the highest standards of safety and care.
Most patients require a series of 6 to 8 sessions spaced about 4 to 6 weeks apart for optimal results. The exact number of sessions may vary depending on the area being treated, hair type, and individual response to the treatment.
Laser hair removal is designed to be as comfortable as possible. The laser system is equipped with a cooling device that soothes the skin during treatment. Some patients may experience a mild snapping sensation, similar to a rubber band against the skin, but this discomfort is generally minimal.
Laser hair removal can be used to treat almost any area of the body, including the face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, back, and chest. Our specialists can tailor the treatment to target specific areas based on your needs.
Side effects are generally mild and temporary. They may include slight redness, swelling, or a sunburn-like sensation in the treated area, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Our practitioners will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions to minimize any potential side effects.
Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least 2 weeks before your treatment. Do not pluck, wax, or use hair removal creams for 4 weeks prior to the session, as these methods remove the hair follicles that the laser targets. Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment to ensure the laser can effectively target the hair follicles.
After the treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These effects typically subside within a few hours to a few days. Avoid sun exposure and use a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the treated area. Hair in the treated area will gradually fall out over the next few weeks.
Laser hair removal offers long-lasting hair reduction. While some patients may experience permanent hair loss, others may need occasional maintenance treatments to keep the treated areas hair-free.
Laser hair removal is suitable for most people looking to reduce unwanted hair. It is effective on all skin types and hair colors, though it may be less effective on very light, gray, or red hair. A consultation with our specialists at Éternel Clinic in Dubai will determine if you are a good candidate for the treatment.
