At Cosmetic Derma Medicine, Facial Laser Hair Removal is achieved using the state-of-the-art Candela GentleLase and Candela GentleLase PRO with Alexandrite Laser systems, the most specialized and effective lasers for the hair removal of hormone-dependent areas such as the face, in both women and men.
The Alexandrite Laser emits monochromatic light with a wavelength of 755nm which is selectively and exclusively absorbed by the melanin of the hair follicles, raising their temperature locally and causing their gradual weakening and eventually, their destruction (Selective Photothermolysis).
Alexandrite Laser Facial Hair Removal can be applied to the whole face (full face) or locally and promises smooth and velvety skin in:
Alexandrite Laser Hair Removal can also be safely applied to the Neck, as well as to any area of the body where unwanted hair is found.
The innovative Candela GentleLase and Candela GentleLase PRO Laser Hair Removal Systems are the only ones that can guarantee definitive relief from unwanted hair growth in hormone-dependent areas of the face. Generally, 7-10 sessions with an interval of 1.5-2 months are required to complete the treatment.
On the face, due to hormone dependence, a greater number of sessions may be required. After each session, the area remains hair-free for at least 1 month.
Laser Alexandrite sessions are repeated approximately every 1-2 months. In hormone-dependent areas such as the face, chest and abdomen, hair reduction is slower compared to Laser Hair Removal on bikini, legs and arms for which a smaller number of sessions are required and even complete hair elimination can be achieved in as little as 6 sessions.
Generally, on the face about 10 sessions are required to eliminate unwanted hair. In the case of a hormonal disorder such as polycystic ovary syndrome or hyperandrogenemia the number of sessions required may be increased.
In cases where hormonal disorders coexist, the only permanent hair removal solution is laser facial hair removal with alexandrite laser.
Adverse effects from Alexandrite laser hair removal only occur when the doctor’s instructions are not followed by the patient or when the procedure is not performed by an experienced operator under the supervision of a dermatologist.
Potential side effects of facial hair removal with laser Alexandrite are completely reversible and include transient erythema and periorbital edema that resolves a few hours after treatment. More persistent irritation may require more time to subside.
Hypochromia or hyperpigmentation may occur if the patient is exposed to the sun immediately after treatment without sun protection.
The operating principle of all lasers is the selective absorption of their light beam by a specific color. Unfortunately, white hairs cannot absorb the laser light and as a result they are resistant to treatment.
In this case we apply a special technique of removing white hair, which is called Punch white hair removal. This technique is applied exclusively at Cosmetic Derma Medicine and has a permanent effect in eliminating white hairs in a few sessions.
