About the procedure

Description of the procedure

During the procedure, the patient wears protective glasses in order to not damage the eyesight. The skin is cleansed and the epilation zone is treated with a laser beam. After the procedure, a Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic specialist will advise you on the remedies to treat the intimate area and, if necessary, give additional recommendations and prescribe a second procedure.

The effect

The laser acts only on hairs in the stage of active growth. Part of the hair will fall out immediately after the procedure, the other part within the next two to three weeks. Hair which is in an inactive state during the procedure resumes its growth over time; therefore, to achieve the maximum long-term effect, it is recommended to undergo several procedures. With 6-10 laser hair removal procedures, you will get rid of 90% of the unwanted hair in the intimate area.

What do you need to know before the procedure?

It is recommended to attend a specialist consultation at Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic before the procedure. The specialist must examine the patient’s skin in order to select the optimal operating mode for the laser, predict the course of procedures and give the necessary individual recommendations. During the consultation, the healthcare professional will determine your phototype and sensitivity threshold. Avoid direct sunlight and solarium visits for three weeks before your procedure. Do not pull out unwanted hair before the procedure in order to avoid damage to the hair follicles. The hair in the intimate area should be shaved 24 hours before the procedure (hair length should not exceed 1-2 mm).

What will happen after the procedure?

Immediately after the procedure, the patient can return to their daily life. After the procedure, redness may appear on the skin, which will resolve spontaneously over the next two to four hours. Avoid the sun or tanning beds for 14 days after your procedure. Also use the antiseptic agent recommended to you by your Confido Aesthetic Medicine Clinic doctor or nurse. It is recommended to use natural fabric underwear for the first two to three days. Do not use alternative hair removal options, wait for the effect of laser hair removal.
