Are you wondering what happens during a permanent laser hair removal treatment session at Epilia?
First of all, you will have an initial consultation at one of our centres.
This initial consultation is free of charge and without obligation.
There are 2 options:
You can make an appointment directly on our website.
You can also contact our telephone answering service on: +32 3 830 66 80
The initial consultation is an information session that allows you to find out everything you need to know about laser hair removal. The Laser Technician will check whether you meet all the conditions to achieve optimal results from laser treatment (skin type, hair colour, age, any hormonal concerns, medications prescribed etc.). The technician will also ask a series of questions about you in order to get to know you better.
The initial consultation is therefore really important to ensure the treatment is successful as laser hair removal is long term. This meeting is also an opportunity for you to ask the technician any questions that you may have.
At the end of this meeting, you will have everything you need to decide whether you wish to begin with laser hair removal treatment. A detailed quote will be provided according to the areas you wish to treat and you can set a date for your first laser treatment session with your technician.
The technician will also inform you of what you need to do for your sessions.
It is important to note that no treatment will take place during the first consultation.
You should not shave before your appointment as the technician will need to see the colour and thickness of the hair.
There are only a few but they should be respected to ensure effective, completely safe laser treatment:
Tattooed areas (or permanent make-up) cannot be treated. Treatment can only be performed around the tattooed area which will consequently retain any hair.
Your technician will provide a hydrating cream to be applied directly after the laser treatment.
Immediately after the session, some redness and slight bruising may appear but will disappear quickly.
The duration depends directly on the extent of the area(s) to be treated.
The larger the area, the longer the treatment time. For small areas, such as the upper lip or underarms, it should take approximately fifteen minutes.
The hair’s life cycle consists of three phases. The laser only has an impact on hairs that are in the active growth phase (anagen phase). During the resting phase (catagen phase) and the ejection of the hair (telogen phase), the hair is no longer bound to its hair follicle. The laser, therefore, does not affect these last two phases.
Since not all the hairs in the treated area are in the active phase at the same time, it is necessary to schedule several sessions to obtain an optimal result.
The number of laser hair removal sessions varies according to different factors:
Since the physiology of each person is taken into consideration, it is impossible to accurately predict in advance the number of sessions that will be required to achieve the expected result.
Depending on the situation, but also on everyone’s expectations, it may be considered to do a yearly laser session to maintain an optimal result. However, it is not systematic.
During your first free consultation, our teams of specialists study the feasibility of the treatment and take the time to inform you about all aspects of the laser and protocol.
During this meeting, a personalised quote is drawn up and given to you in person.
Our teams of permanent laser hair removal specialists recommend waiting for about 4 to 6 weeks between 2 hair removal sessions (depending on the area). As the sessions progress, and depending on how well the treatment is working, this period is extended. From the first session onwards, the results are clearly visible. During the treatment, the growth of the remaining hairs is slowed down and they become sparse and thinner. To comply with the protocol is essential to optimise results.
Our teams of specialists are available to answer all the questions you may have all over the process of your permanent hair removal. They advise and support you in each of your laser sessions.
The initial consultation at Epilia is FREE OF CHARGE and without obligation.
