Hair Removal

Asclepion Laser Hair Removal offers a gentle and very effective alternative to conventional methods of hair removal such as plucking electrolysis or waxing. Laser treats several hairs at once and also removes hair from larger areas such as the back, shoulders or legs extremely quickly and easily. After being shaved and cleaned, the area to be treated is cooled. The treatment itself is quick and generally causes very little pain. It takes your doctor less then a minute to treat an area measuring approximately 10 x 10 cm. Normal activities are resumed immediately but the skin needs to be protected from the sun for 4-6 weeks.

Hair growth takes place in a cycle of growth and rest phases. It is only during the growth phase that the laser light can effectively target the roots. Further sessions are therefore required to ensure that every single hair root is treated. However the investment is worthwhile: clinical studies have shown that following laser treatment, hair regrowth - if it occurs at all, is slow and extremely fine.
