Long-term hair reduction.

Laser hair removal is a medical-aesthetic procedure using selective interaction of laser energy with hair follicles, leading to their gradual damage and long-term hair reduction. The procedure is based on selective photothermolysis, enabling precise action on the hair structure while maintaining safety of surrounding tissues.

In clinical practice, Medica laser hair-removal systems are used to enable effective, controlled therapy across different skin phototypes.

Mechanism of action

During the procedure, laser energy:

• is absorbed by melanin in the hair follicle,
• leads to thermal damage of structures responsible for hair growth,
• does not disrupt the epidermis,
• acts selectively and locally.

Effectiveness is related to hair-growth phases, therefore a series is required.

Clinical effect

With laser hair removal, patients may observe:

• gradual and long-term hair reduction,
• slower, weaker regrowth,
• improved skin comfort (fewer irritations and ingrown hairs),
• improved hygiene and convenience.

The effect increases with subsequent sessions performed according to the protocol.

Clinical indications

Laser hair removal may be used in patients:

• with unwanted hair,
• with tendency for ingrown hairs,
• with recurrent folliculitis,
• seeking a long-term, safe hair-reduction method.

Common areas:

• face,
• underarms,
• bikini area,
• upper and lower limbs,
• chest, back,
• other body areas requiring hair reduction.

Procedure profile

• non-invasive procedure,
• no epidermal damage,
• short treatment time (depending on area),
• no or minimal downtime,
• quick return to daily activities.

Parameters are selected individually based on skin phototype, hair type and treatment area.

Safety and qualification

Laser hair removal is performed after:

• medical history assessment,
• skin phototype evaluation,
• exclusion of contraindications.

Proper qualification and parameter selection ensure a high safety profile.

Medical information

Laser hair removal is an effective long-term hair-reduction method based on laser physics and hair follicle biology. It does not replace dermatologic treatment but may be a useful adjunct in selected indications.

Medica laser technology enables controlled, gradual and long-term hair reduction while maintaining skin safety.
