Permanent hair removal Paris

The price of permanent laser hair removal varies depending on the area to be treated and the number of sessions required.

The number of sessions varies depending on skin type, hair cycle, hair growth, age and the area to be waxed. On average, 6 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks minimum and 12 weeks maximum, will be necessary to permanently eliminate 80% of the hair present in an area. The younger the patient, the greater the number of sessions.

In general, you should count:

• 6 to 8 sessions for permanent hair removal of the bikini line, legs or armpits
• 8 to 10 sessions for the treatment of hair located on the thighs or forearms
• 10 or more sessions to permanently destroy back hair
• A minimum of 8 sessions will be necessary to treat the parts of the face (chin, face, etc.)

The number of sessions is estimated and depends on each person's reaction but also on the level of requirements of each patient. Laser hair removal is not complete; at the end of the treatment, fine, light hair remains.

A more precise estimate of the number of sessions is given during the prior consultation which is essential. It depends above all on the area treated, age, gender and skin color but also on the expected results. The number of sessions required is greater in young women before the age of 25, in those with a hormonal problem (polycystic ovaries), or in those who have interrupted their antiandrogen treatment (androcur®, diane®, jasmine® , aldactone®).

Men and patients with dark skin require more sessions than women for a satisfactory result. Finally, hair removal in certain areas (forehead, neck, sideburns, cheekbone) may require a large number of sessions (undetermined).

Laser hair removal is never complete, especially on the bikini area, which will always require some touch-ups. Although laser hair removal can be expensive initially, it is a profitable investment in the long term which allows you to avoid expensive hair removal sessions at the beautician.
However, laser hair removal remains an effective method for lasting hair removal of 90% of hair.

Permanent laser hair removal can cause some side effects, such as redness or burning, if the laser is poorly calibrated. However, the risk of burns is very rare when laser hair removal is carried out by an experienced practitioner, who adjusts the calibration of the machine according to the nature of the skin to be treated. Indeed, dark skin is more sensitive than white skin and therefore requires more precise lasers to avoid the risk of depigmentation.

Since hair growth is hormone-dependent, it is recommended to wait until the end of puberty before proceeding with permanent laser hair removal.

 Before this period, hormonal changes could lead to the regrowth of hair destroyed by the laser. However, people who have a lot of disabling hair growth have the option of starting laser treatments as early as adolescence. In this case, the sessions are carried out with the aim of restoring normal sociability. The number of sessions is then uncertain.
