Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal

The number of sessions is 7-8 on average, every 40 days or so and varies as needed. The intervals between sessions should not exceed 40-45 days, otherwise the result is greatly modified. If the intervals are not followed then the hair removal will need more sessions and this is because the laser is effective in the regenerative phase of the hair. In hormone dependent areas of the body, such as the abdomen line, the number of sessions varies and more sessions are often required.

Alexandrite laser hair removal is almost painless, thanks to the skin cooling mechanism.

Waxing should be avoided for at least 2 weeks, while the area where the laser will be applied must have been shaved 2 days before.

Prolonged exposure to the sun for 3 days before and 3 days after treatment is prohibited.

Of course it is necessary to use sunscreen after treatment.

Traditional hair removal techniques such as common shaving, waxing and the use of hair removal cream offer only temporary results.

LASER hair removal is the only permanent hair removal method that eliminates all traditional techniques.

Official clinical studies have shown that the most effective hair removal treatment is the long pulse Laser Alexandrite 755nm. This is the laser Maria Skolarikou uses in her office.

• Unwanted normal hair growth as on the upper lip.
• Excessive hair growth due to heredity, race or hormonal disorders, polycystic ovary syndrome, tumors as well as due to menopause.

How many sessions are needed and how often should they be performed?

Usually 6 to 8 sessions are needed for the facial area. However, due to hormonal disorders, in some cases this can be modified. The sessions take place every 40 days or so based on the life cycle of the hair.

Alexandrite laser hair removal is painless thanks to the cooling mechanism. However, the degree of sensation varies from patient to patient.

How long does the session last?

The session lasts depending on the extent of the problem.

How will the skin be after the session?

Immediately after the session the area will be slightly red for a few minutes and subsidues with the use of moisturizer.

Precautions before and after the session?

Prior to the treatment, no wax or cream should be used for at least two weeks before the laser hair removal session.
The skin should not be recently tanned.
It is necessary to avoid prolonged sun exposure after the laser as well as the application of sunscreen.

The LIGHT A EVO Laser that we possess in our Maria Skolarikou Boutique Plastic Surgery clinic represents the latest generation Alexandrite laser, developed by Quanta Systems,

For those professionals who are required to work with reliable and efficient systems for extremely fast sessions.

The Alexandrite @755nm laser is the ideal solution for permanent reduction of unwanted hair growth and for the removal of pigmented spots.

The wavelength at 755nm, due to its selective absorption by melanin, is ideal for hair removal especially for class I-IV skin types on the Fitzpatrick scale.

The high energy flow combined with the large spot size (6-16 mm) as well as the high repetition rate (up to 10Hz) make hair removal possible anywhere on the body.

As a result, it works just as effectively on all skin and hair types, even on very dark or tanned skin. Unlike other hair removal lasers the Laser Alexandrite @ 755nm is the only method that can be done in all seasons of the year even in periods of intense sunshine.
