LASER HAIR REMOVAL

Laser hair removal targets the melanin (pigment) present in the hair follicle in large quantities during the hair growth phase (anagen). The laser emits light that is absorbed by this pigment, heating the follicle and damaging it, which prevents hair regrowth. It is a gradual process that requires several sessions to reach hairs in the active growth phase (anagen phase).

Results are visible after 5 sessions, but the number of sessions varies depending on the area treated, skin and hair type, and hair growth cycle. On average, it takes between 5 and 8 sessions to achieve optimal results, as not all hairs are in the growth phase at the same time.

The total duration of a laser hair removal protocol depends on several factors: the area treated, the density of the hair and the growth cycle of each person. In general, it is necessary to plan between 5 and 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart to cover all the hair growth cycles. The complete protocol can therefore extend over several months in order to ensure optimal and lasting results.

Laser hair removal provides permanent hair reduction, but some hair may grow back over time, particularly under the influence of certain factors such as hormonal imbalances. Occasional maintenance sessions may be necessary to maintain results.

The color and density of the hair, as well as the pigmentation of the skin, directly influence the absorption capacity of the laser. The higher the contrast between the skin and the hair (light skin, dark hair), the more effective the treatment. However, modern technologies, such as those used at Studio Fauve, allow the power to be adjusted to treat a variety of phototypes; this is assessed during the diagnosis.

Each skin reacts differently, however the tip of our machine is permanently cooled to 5° the feeling of discomfort is minimized.

No, it is not recommended to perform laser hair removal on a tattooed area. The laser, designed to target the melanin in the hair, could interact with the pigments in the tattoo, potentially causing burns or altering the design.

It is not recommended to use hair removal methods that pull out the hair by the root, such as waxing or tweezing, between laser hair removal sessions because the laser targets hair follicles in the growth phase (anagen phase), and pulling out the hair could disrupt this cycle. On the other hand, shaving is a recommended option because it cuts the hair without affecting the follicle, allowing the laser treatment to remain effective. Similarly, there are no contraindications regarding depilatory creams.

The laser hair removal protocol is performed under the supervision of a doctor who checks the compatibility of your skin with the laser. In addition, the laser used is designed to precisely target the melanin present in the hair follicles without affecting the surrounding tissues. Unlike ionizing radiation (such as UV rays), the laser does not cause cellular mutations, which means that it is not carcinogenic. In the long term, laser hair removal therefore presents no documented danger to the skin or the rest of the body.
