Laser hair removal

How does laser hair removal work?

During light or laser treatment, hair follicles are destroyed using light pulses. This is done very precisely by absorbing the light into the pigments of the hair root, without damaging other skin structures. This process is only effective during the hair's growth phases. However, not all hairs are in the same phase at the same time. For this reason, multiple laser treatments are necessary. On average, 10 treatments are needed. The time between treatments depends on the treatment area. For the face, this is usually 4 to 6 weeks and for the body, approximately 6 to 8 weeks. Feel Smooth uses the latest LaserFusion technology.

Thick, thin, dark or light hair: when will I see the best results?

If your hair is thick and dark, you're in the best position! On average, we achieve around 90% hair removal. Unfortunately, we can't treat blonde, gray, or red hair because it lacks pigment.

Laser hair removal is also called permanent hair removal. Am I really rid of it for good?

You'll definitely achieve a reduction in hair growth—how wonderful does that sound! But don't be surprised if your practitioner recommends annual maintenance treatments. The remaining hair follicles in the treated area are in a resting phase. These follicles aren't producing hair, so they can't (yet) be destroyed. Under certain circumstances, such as hormonal changes, these follicles can still become active later. According to the FDA, it's best to speak of a permanent reduction, not permanent hair removal.

Why laser?

Never having to shave, wax, or pluck again: This is the main motivation for many of our clients. No one enjoys standing in front of the mirror every day to remove annoying facial hair. And when it's time to shave your legs, armpits, and bikini line, you spend three times as long in the shower. So, it can be a huge relief to no longer have to constantly worry about hair removal thanks to laser hair removal. We say "almost never" because it's not possible to remove 100% of all hair with a laser. 90% hair removal is approximately the maximum result.
No more ingrown hairs: Shaving can cause ingrown hairs. Ingrown hairs cause inflammation, itching, pain, and sometimes discoloration or scarring of the skin. Laser treatment reduces the number of hairs by up to 90%, leaving those that remain thinner and softer. This means ingrown hairs are almost never seen again after treatment. Laser treatment can also reduce existing ingrown hairs.
An even and soft skin (ideal for strawberry skin): Due to ingrown hairs, the skin can feel rough and uneven, or show discoloration. With dark hairs, you sometimes see a dark haze on the skin. By applying laser hair removal and reducing hair growth, the skin looks even again and naturally feels softer. We can also help clients with strawberry skin with laser hair removal.
Unexpected trips to the pool or beach, with smooth skin: It's a pain when you want to head to the spa, pool, or beach last minute and have to plan a whole hair removal routine first. With laser hair removal, you don't have to worry about that anymore! Because the hair doesn't grow back, you're wonderfully hair-free and ready for any activity. So, for an unexpected trip to the pool or beach, you can feel confident with your lasered armpits, bikini line, or legs.
Feeling more comfortable in your own skin with more self-confidence: Last but not least, if you suffer from unwanted hair growth on your face or body, it can make you feel insecure or embarrassed, and it can limit you in your daily life. By using laser hair removal and removing the hair growth, you'll feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin. Isn't that the most important thing? #Feelsmoothfeelbetter
