What is permanent laser hair removal?
Permanent laser hair removal is a modern and effective method of removing unwanted hair, based on the use of a concentrated beam of light to destroy hair follicles.
This type of treatment is also indicated for certain skin conditions such as folliculitis, hypertrichosis, or hirsutism.
How does permanent hair removal with Alexandrite laser work?
Permanent hair removal with Alexandrite laser works as follows:
- The Alexandrite laser emits light at a wavelength of approximately 755 nm, which is very effective for absorption by melanin in pigmented hair.
- This emitted energy is converted into heat, which destroys the follicle without affecting the surrounding skin, thus preventing hair regrowth.
Thanks to this wavelength, the Alexandrite laser is considered one of the most effective for hair removal on light to moderately dark skin.
Because hair goes through different growth phases and the laser is only effective during the anagen phase (active growth), multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles at the time when they are vulnerable to laser energy.
By combining advanced technology with the scientific principles of selective photothermal lysis, permanent hair removal with Alexandrite laser offers an effective and long-lasting method for reducing unwanted hair.
What are the advantages of permanent laser hair removal?
Permanent laser hair removal offers major advantages compared to traditional hair removal methods, such as shaving, waxing, or electric epilators.
Here are some of the most significant benefits:
- Long-lasting results: Compared to other methods, laser hair removal delivers long-term results, significantly and permanently reducing hair growth after a number of sessions.
- Efficiency: The laser can quickly treat large areas of skin, making the procedure faster than other hair removal methods such as electrolysis. It also eliminates the need for daily or weekly hair removal, saving time in the long run.
- Folliculitis treatment: It is the only effective treatment for folliculitis, the infection of hair follicles, and it eliminates the risk of ingrown hairs.
- Improved skin texture: Following permanent hair removal, the skin can become smoother and more even.
- Long-term cost efficiency: Although the initial cost may be higher, in the long run, laser hair removal can be more cost-effective by eliminating the repeated costs of other forms of hair removal.
- Quick appearance of results: Although multiple sessions are needed for permanent results, hair reduction is often visible immediately, even from the first session.
- Safety: When performed by qualified professionals, laser hair removal is a safe procedure with a low side-effect profile.

Frequently Asked Questions about Permanent Hair Removal
What should you know before starting permanent hair removal sessions?
Before starting permanent hair removal sessions, it is important to keep the following in mind:
- Following the consultation with one of our dermatologists, the patient will be given specific preparation instructions for the procedure, including avoiding sun exposure and artificial tanning, avoiding certain types of medications, and avoiding hair-plucking methods.
- No more than 24 hours before the permanent hair removal procedure, the patient is instructed to remove hair from the treatment area using a razor or depilatory cream.
What device is used at ArtMedica clinic for permanent hair removal?
For permanent hair removal, ArtMedica clinic uses the Clarity II laser by Lutronic. This is an Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser, and one of the most high-performing permanent hair removal platforms.
At ArtMedica, the permanent hair removal procedure is performed by a dermatologist specialized in laser treatments, to ensure the most effective and highest-quality care for our patients. The doctor will adjust treatment parameters to maximize treatment efficiency while minimizing discomfort.
How many treatment sessions are needed?
To achieve optimal results, the number of sessions needed varies depending on several individual factors.
On average, 6-8 sessions are needed, spaced at intervals of 6-8 weeks. To maintain results, 1 maintenance session per year is necessary.
How quickly can results be seen?
Most patients notice a reduction in the number of hairs even after the first session, with progressive results throughout the full treatment course.
How long does a permanent hair removal session last?
The duration depends on the area being treated. Small areas, such as the upper lip or underarms, take only a few minutes, while larger areas, such as the legs or back, may require between 30 and 60 minutes.
Is laser hair removal painful?
The laser used at ArtMedica is equipped with an advanced cooling system, which makes the procedure much more comfortable. Patients describe the sensation as a slight sting or a quick snap of an elastic band.
Do I need to shave at home before permanent laser hair removal?
Yes. The area must be shaved with a razor no more than 24 hours before the session. Throughout the entire treatment period, hair-plucking methods (wax, epilator, tweezers) are not recommended, because the root must remain in the follicle for the laser to work effectively.
What are the contraindications of permanent hair removal?
The procedure is not recommended in cases of pregnancy or breastfeeding, if there are active infections in the treatment area, recently tanned skin, photosensitizing conditions, or medications that increase sensitivity to light. The doctor will always perform an individual assessment before starting treatment.
How is folliculitis treated after hair removal?
Folliculitis occurs much more frequently after traditional hair removal methods (wax, razor), which is why laser is often the recommended solution for this problem. After laser hair removal, folliculitis is rare and generally resolves on its own within a few days. The use of soothing creams and avoiding sun exposure or intense heat immediately after the session is recommended. If the problem persists, the doctor may recommend a personalized topical treatment.
Does hair removal work on blonde or light-colored hair?
The laser is most effective on dark-colored hair. In the case of blonde, reddish, or very light hair, effectiveness may be reduced, and a greater number of sessions may be needed.
What is the difference between Alexandrite and diode lasers?
The Alexandrite laser (755 nm) is ideal for light skin and dark hair, having high efficiency on superficial melanin. The diode laser (810 nm) penetrates deeper and can be used on more skin types, including darker ones. The device used at ArtMedica, Clarity II, combines multiple wavelengths and delivers excellent results, tailored to each patient.
