Most women know how hard it is to maintain your skin always smooth and hairless. Razor, wax or depilation cream have become an integral part of beauty ritual of almost every woman. As a result, most of women have at least once thought: "I want to get rid of body hair forever!“. With the help of special lasers, this is possible today.
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure during which the diode laser, which generates intense pulsed beam of specific wavelength (810 + 940 nm), removes unwanted hair. The energy of laser is used to prevent regrowth of hair. During the procedure, the energy of laser must penetrate a few millimeters into the skin to reach the hair root. When energy reaches the melanin in the hair, the light is absorbed, and converted into heat. The darker and thicker the hair, the more heat is produced. The heat damages the matrix (genocells) cells around the hair and the area next to the hair, which is responsible for the regrowth of hair. High power reaches hair follicles very deep. This enables a drastic reduction in body hair in the treated area. Diode laser, which is used for hair removal in Poliklinika Bagatin has become synonymous with secure epilation with long term results.
Although laser hair removal effectively removes body hair, the number of treatments depend on the psychosomatic and physiological factors that determine how many treatments are necessary for the desired result. The effectiveness of treatment depends on the color and thickness of hair, as well as the depth of their roots, so it takes more treatment in case of red and blonde hair in comparison to black hair. The result of treatments also depends on possible endocrine problems, and the genotype of the client. To get maximum efficiency, it is important to agree upon a treatment plan with a specialist, depending on your skin type and hair.
It usually takes several treatments of laser epilation to have long lasting effect in the treated area Also, occasional maintenance treatments might be needed. The most common treated areas are legs, armpits, upper lip, chin, bikini area, arms and intimate zone. However, unwanted hair can be removed from almost every part of the body, except the eyelids and the eyeball area.
Laser hair removal is best for women who want to achieve long lasting smoothness of their legs. The most suitable candidates for this procedure are those with lighter skin color and darker hair, but now also people with darker skin can undergo laser epilation. Also, if you have problem with ingrown hair, this is for you. After just a few treatments, you can forget about the painful ingrown hair which can occur.

If you are interested in a permanent laser hair removal, select specialists who specializes in dermatology or cosmetic surgery.
Our specialist will offer you special advice for the preparation before laser hair removal:
After application of the hydrogel, the handle of laser is pressed against the skin and moved over the treated area. The laser emits energy pulses in the range 8-14 mm, and during the treatment a client feels a slight sting. Before the treatment, anaesthetic cream can be applied for more comfortable sensation. Permanent hair laser removal is very pleasant due to the cooling system of the skin that is built into the laser. Cooling system has a slight anaesthetic feature that allows sensitive areas to be treated relatively painless. You might feel a slight pinching or stings during treatment, but most clients tolerated procedure well.
The important thing is to undergo a treatment several times in period of 4 to 8 months, because hair grows in certain stages and melanin is found only during growth stage. Different types of hair have different time of hair growth, and number of treatment depend on the type of hair and skin, as well on genetic predisposition. It also depends from person to person how many treatments are needed and should treatments stop after a year.
The treatment of small areas such as the upper lip, may take only a few minutes. The treatment of large areas like the back, can take an hour.
You may notice redness and swelling the first few hours after laser hair removal treatment. To reduce discomfort, on the treated area you can apply ice. Our staff will recommend gel or another type of cream or lotion. If your skin reacts strongly immediately after laser hair removal treatment, the specialist can apply steroid cream.
After laser epilation, avoid sun exposure: natural sunlight and tanning beds. Also, be prepared for possible falling of hair in the first few weeks after treatment.
