Laser Hair Removal It is a treatment that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to reduce unwanted hair. Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses short pulses of light energy to damage the hair follicles, helping to prevent regrowth. This treatment is known for delivering the most effective and long-lasting results in hair reduction. Multiple laser hair removal sessions are required for initial hair reduction, as well as for maintenance treatments. Laser hair removal is suitable for men and women of all skin tones. It works on the whole body, including sensitive areas such as the face and bikini line. Popular areas include facial hair, legs, the bikini area, underarms, back and chest. Hair colour and skin type influence the success of laser hair removal. The basic principle is that the pigment in the hair, but not the skin pigment, should absorb the light. The laser should damage only the hair follicle, whilst avoiding damage to the skin. Laser hair removal can achieve a reduction of up to 90%. Regrowing hair will be finer, lighter and softer, with the added benefit of smoother skin. Laser hair removal significantly reduces the need for shaving and waxing, so no more ingrown hairs, razor burn or stubble. Lasers are more effective when the hair is in the early stages of growth. The Biotec Xlase Plus is suitable for all skin tones and for most areas of the body and hair types. Skin with tattoos should not be treated either. As not all hairs will be at the same stage of growth at the same time, multiple treatment sessions will usually be required to achieve permanent hair reduction. Both Xlase Plus customers and the laser manufacturer report very high levels of satisfaction and long-term effectiveness following the laser hair removal process.

Biotec’s new XLase Plus is a single, versatile laser platform for a wide range of treatments. Its modular design offers a wide range of aesthetic solutions – all integrated into a single compact 100% device manufactured in Italy. It is an FDA-certified medical laser. Each technology (separate handpieces) can be attached at any time, ensuring perfect adaptation to therapeutic needs. Thanks to 16 years’ experience in the field of laser therapy, we combine our handpieces (AlexPro (Dual), ND:YAG, CPL) during treatments to ensure you enjoy the highest level of comfort and maximum treatment effectiveness. We work according to unique treatment protocols. You won’t find these at other laser clinics. It is recognised as a completely painless laser!

The first laser hair removal treatment is preceded by a dermatological consultation. Patients who are deemed suitable for the treatment undergo a laser trial to determine the optimal treatment parameters for their specific skin phototype.

• The skin in the area to be treated must not be dry or irritated; if necessary, emollients (moisturising, nourishing and soothing creams) should be applied a few days beforehand, but not on the day of the treatment
• The day before your first treatment, you should shave the treatment area – leave a square with sides of approximately 5 cm to allow the practitioner to assess the colour and thickness of the hair; this area will then be shaved by the practitioner
• Aspirin and other blood-thinning substances should be avoided
• Your skin must not be tanned or have any self-tanning product applied to it
• Important - 24 hours You should not drink alcohol before or after the procedure

• The skin should be clean – do not use creams or lotions
• the skin is cleansed

The procedure does not require anaesthesia. The laser is usually felt as a gentle pricking, burning or pinching sensation, which may be more intense when the treatment is carried out on sensitive areas of the body. A slight redness appears in the treated areas. The practitioner strives to ensure the patient’s utmost comfort, and our clients leave the clinic feeling satisfied and excited at the prospect of the results to come. Complications following laser hair removal are rare and are usually linked to a failure to follow the pre-treatment and post-treatment guidelines.

• Rare (permanent and temporary, lasting up to several weeks) – skin discolouration, scars and bruises,
• Common (short-term) – mild burns similar to sunburn (lasting up to 1–2 hours after the treatment), skin redness, perifollicular oedema (the severity and extent of which depend on the sensitivity of the area), blisters, scabs and erosions.

Temporary swelling and/or redness of the treated area is a natural side effect following the treatment.

• Treat your skin gently for 2–3 days after the treatment: - wash with a soap-free gel, toner, alcohol-free cleansing milk or plain water - do not use deodorants or antiperspirants (if the underarms were treated) - use talcum powder, Bepanthen cream or Dermopanthen - gently pat the skin dry; do not rub or irritate the skin in any other way
• For two weeks following the treatment, you must not use exfoliating cosmetics.
• Sunbathing is not permitted for 4 weeks following the procedure; it is recommended that you use sunscreen with an SPF of 50 or higher.
