Laser hair removal offers patients a safe and effective treatment for unwanted hair growth. The lasers act by emitting a special light that passes through the skin and is selectively absorbed by the target, which in this case is the hair’s melanin. The lasers aim at the melanin of the hair, destroying the follicle and thus removing the hair. Laser hair removal is a safe method used on all parts of the body such as face, armpits, back, hands, bikini, legs, etc.

In the area where the laser is to be applied, it should take 1-2 days before the hair is removed by shaving but not waxing. In general, hair is suitable for laser hair removal when it is only 1-2mm long.
At Oxygen plus we use Laser Diode Alex. The perfect combination of alexandrite, diode and ND Yag frequencies make it powerful and very effective. The NEW Laser Diode Alex is suitable for all skin types from type I to type V. (Greeks have a type II-III).
Yes. In general, every laser treatment achieves permanent hair removal. The number of sessions depends on the particular reaction of the patient to the laser and the amount of hair removed. Remember that the purpose may not be total hair removal.
Many patients are satisfied with a remarkable degree of epilation. Also remember that the remaining hairs are lighter and thinner than those before treatment and generally achieve an 85-90% reduction in unwanted hair.
For areas like the bikini line and armpits averaging 8-10 sessions you forget about unwanted hair. For other areas the number of sessions depends on the type of hair (color, diameter, etc.) and various hormonal factors. The most difficult area to treat (due to the large number of hair follicles present in it) is the face and the Brazilian bikini. It is noted that the sessions are repeated every 4-6 weeks and that of the three hair growth periods (anagen, catagen and telogen) only the hair in the regenerative phase is successfully treated.
Most patients describe laser hair removal as a feeling of “pinch”. After treatment, the effect can be felt as a solar erythema. Each patient has their own level of skin sensitivity and pain sensation. Even different areas of the body are more sensitive than some others. In general waxing is more painful than laser!
