First of all, this method targets and destroys the root of each hair individually. The Alexandrite laser<\/strong> emits a 755 nm wavelength, making it one of the safest and most precise lasers currently available on the market.<\/p>

Techniques like shaving or depilatory cream do not act on the hair root, which leads to regrowth that varies depending on your skin type. With shaving, you\u2019ll need to use a razor every 2 to 3 days<\/strong>. As for depilatory creams, they only provide one or two extra days of smooth skin.<\/p>

Waxing removes the hair along with its root, but while effective, it\u2019s painful and only leaves the skin smooth for 2 to 3 weeks<\/strong>. Moreover, the accumulated cost of salon visits makes it an expensive option (according to a Skincare study, a woman spends up to 24,000 CHF<\/strong> on waxing in her lifetime).<\/p>

And what about IPL (intense pulsed light)? While it also targets the hair root, this method uses a range of light wavelengths, resulting in a less focused and less powerful treatment than laser \u2014 making it a temporary solution<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Laser hair removal is also a safe technique<\/strong>. The precision of the laser beam allows our specialists to target only the hair follicle without damaging your skin \u2014 unlike IPL, which lacks such precision.<\/p>

Say goodbye to redness and pain caused by waxing. At Epilia, in addition to precisely targeting each follicle, we use Zimmer technology<\/strong>, which acts as a local anesthetic<\/strong> thanks to its cooling effect.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Permanent laser hair removal can be performed on minors starting at the age of 15<\/strong>, provided that a parent gives consent and signs the required consent form. That parent must also be present at the free initial consultation.<\/p>

However, we recommend waiting for hormonal stabilization<\/strong> before beginning laser treatment. Otherwise, the treatment may be more of a comfort solution<\/strong> than a permanent one.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
