Permanent laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to remove unwanted hair long-term. In Vienna, laser hair removal is performed right in Dr. Brigitte Klein’s office. The dermatologist uses the professional Gentle-YAG system, which achieves excellent results.
Here are some key aspects of this process:
- How It Works: Laser hair removal works by directing concentrated light directly at the hair follicles. The pigment in the hair absorbs the light, which is then converted into heat and destroys the hair follicle. This prevents or delays future hair growth.
- Treatment duration: The duration of a single session can vary from a few minutes to an hour, depending on the size of the area being treated. Small areas, such as the upper lip, can be treated in a few minutes, while larger areas, such as the legs, take longer.
- Number of sessions: Several treatment sessions are usually necessary to achieve the best results. The exact number depends on various factors, such as the area of the body being treated, hair color, hair type, and the individual’s hair growth cycle.
- Skin and Hair Type: Laser hair removal is most effective for people with dark hair and fair skin, since the laser can better target the dark pigment in the hair. However, there are modern lasers that are also suitable for darker skin types and different hair colors.
- Preparation for Treatment: Before laser treatment, it is recommended that you avoid sunbathing and refrain from epilating or waxing the hair in the area to be treated. Shaving is usually permitted, as it leaves the hair root intact.
- Aftercare: After treatment, the skin may be slightly red or irritated, similar to a mild sunburn. Applying a cool compress and using special skin care products can help relieve these symptoms.
- Long-term results: While laser hair removal is often advertised as “permanent,” in practice this means a significant reduction in hair growth over a long period of time. For some people, a few hairs may grow back over time, possibly in a finer and lighter form.
The cost of permanent leg hair removal at Dr. Brigitte Klein's clinic in Vienna starts at €380. For the bikini area, you can expect to pay starting at €160.
