Laser Hair Removal

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target hair follicles, damaging them to prevent future growth. Multiple sessions achieve permanent hair reduction, eliminating the need for shaving, waxing, or plucking—providing smooth, hair-free skin long-term.

What to Know Before You Go

💡 Pro Tip: Book multiple sessions during your Turkey visit. Many clinics offer package discounts for 6-8 session treatments, maximizing your savings.

⚠️ Insider Note: Avoid sun exposure 2 weeks before and after treatment. Tanned skin increases the risk of burns and pigmentation changes—stay out of the sun or use high SPF.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is laser hair removal permanent?

It provides permanent hair reduction—not 100% removal. Most patients see 70-90% reduction after completing 6-8 sessions. Annual maintenance may be needed for some.

Does it hurt?

Most describe the sensation as rubber band snaps or warm prickles. Modern cooling technology minimizes discomfort significantly—most areas are very tolerable.

How many sessions do I need?

6-8 sessions typically, spaced 4-8 weeks apart depending on the treatment area. Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions catch hair in the active growth phase.

Which laser is best for dark skin?

Nd:YAG lasers are safest for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI), followed by Diode lasers. These wavelengths bypass melanin in the skin to target hair follicles.

Can I shave between sessions?

Yes, shaving is fine and actually recommended. Do not wax, pluck, or epilate—follicles must remain intact for the laser to target them effectively.

What areas can be treated?

Almost any area: face (upper lip, chin), underarms, bikini/Brazilian, full legs, arms, back, chest, abdomen, and more. Full body packages are popular.

Are there side effects?

Temporary redness and warmth are common and expected. Burns or pigmentation changes are rare when performed with proper settings by experienced technicians.

Who is not a candidate?

Those with recent tan, certain skin conditions, taking photosensitizing medications, or with very light hair (blonde, red, grey, white) should consult first.
