Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is the most effective method of permanent hair removal. At Angel Clinic, laser hair removal is performed with the Light Sheer diode laser. The laser emits a wavelength of 800 nm that penetrates up to 2 mm into the skin. Thanks to this, we can be sure that the operation of the laser is only superficial and does not affect the functioning of the body. The emitted gentle beam of rays penetrates the skin directly into the hair follicle and destroys it irretrievably.

Laser hair removal is considered the most effective method of removing unwanted hair, on average, a series of 4 to 6 treatments is enough to get rid of unwanted hair for a very long time. Individual treatments are selected taking into account the phases of hair growth. Hair that is in the growth phase reacts to the laser light, these are the hairs visible to the naked eye on the skin, the rest in the “sleep” phase are removed in subsequent treatments.

At Angel Clinic, laser hair removal is performed by qualified cosmetologists.
