Laser Hair Removal

Technology description

The latest methods of hair removal have become very popular in the beauty industry. We recommend painless reduction of unwanted hair. Invictus diode laser is one of the best hair removal devices. Thanks to its high-speed performance and unique cooling system short and absolutely painless sessions are possible. Diode laser is the highest standard device for permanent hair removal used in professional aesthetic medicine and cosmetology. Invictus offers 98% guarantee of effectiveness and extraordinarily durable treatment results. This easily operated device irreversibly removes unwanted hair only after 4 painless sessions without causing any mechanical damage to the skin. The laser beam is exactly 808 nm long. The emitted laser wave is absorbed by melanine and the energy supply is converted into heat which irreversibly damage the bulb of the hair. As a result, the stem cells division is inhibited in the affected part of the body. Only Invictus Diode Laser can guarantee extreme effectiveness of hair removal and extraordinary 20 m shots performance. No gel foundation is required as it is in the case of other competitive device.

Understanding hair growth

All body & facial hair goes through 3 distinct phases of growth; Anagen, Catagen & Telogen. At any time, 85% of your hair is in the anagen phase (active growth) which where you get best results from a laser hair removal treatment. This is because the follicle (dermal papilla) is closest to the skins surface. The laser beam targets the follicle, heats it & destroys the hair.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of hair best responds to laser therapy?

Arrow Down Icon

Chromophore in the treatment is melanin, which is why the hair containing a large amount of a dye (preferably black). Important in hair removal is the colour of the skin, the lighter the skin and darker the hair (more contrast), the better the effect of hair reduction.

Why treatment must be repeated?

Arrow Down Icon

That is because all the hairs at the moment are in the same phase of the cycle. Hair goes through successive steps of: anagen - a phase of growth (the most important for treatment), catagen (dormant phase), during which the hair does not grow from 3 to 8 weeks and are still connected to the hair follicle and telogen, during which the hair is moved in the bellows (where at the same time a new one is created).

Are your hair going to disappear once and for all?

Arrow Down Icon

Diode laser allows partial and permanent hair reduction. Lasting reduction applies to approx. 80-90% of the hair. The rest of the hair can grow back during lifetime, but their number is smaller and they are usually delicate and lighter in colour.

Should patients with hirsutism not perform laser hair removal treatments?

Arrow Down Icon

Of course they should, but they must keep in mind of meanwhile regulation of disorders with an endocrinologist (or a gynecologist) because without that, hair removal is not very effective. Women with hirsutism have to be prepared to perform in some occasions more treatments and a possibility to repeat them in future.

How to prepare for laser hair removal?

Arrow Down Icon

The main recommendations for laser hair removal relates to staying away from tanning of the skin (including solarium and self-tanning or sunless-tan) and hair removal at least a month prior to the laser procedure. It is recommended to shave the hair a day before surgery.

Why your hair immediately before the procedure should be shaved?

Arrow Down Icon

During the procedure, hair projecting above the surface of the skin will undergo combustion, which can lead to skin burns and unpleasant sensations. Besides, such a procedure will be less effective because of the energy emitted from the laser will scatter on the regrown portion of the hair and not the one which is deep in the skin (where there are also cells responsible for regrowth of hair).
