CAN ALL HAIRS BE LASERED AWAY?

Only dark (stiff) hairs have a super result. White, gray, blonde or thin hairs unfortunately not.

Yes, you can! But because the hairs will fall out already 2 to 3 weeks after the treatment, shaving may not even be necessary anymore.
Waxing, epilation and the strings method are no longer allowed at all once you have started laser hair removal. These methods also remove the hair roots and if these are no longer present, they cannot be destroyed with laser light.

The laser beam is most active in the anagen phase (active growth phase). These hairs are deep in the hair follicle ensure that the hair follicle is effectively turned off by the laser light.
Biologically, during each laser treatment, approximately 15% of the hairs are in the active growth phase.
For this reason, an average of 6 to 8 treatments are needed. A period of about 6 weeks should be respected between each treatment, for optimal results. In the best case (6 treatments), the treatment can therefore be terminated after 7.5 months.
If hair growth is continuously stimulated by hormones, medication or other internal factors, the number of treatments may be higher.

A laser hair removal is permanent (the treated hair follicle is gone forever) but does not take away from the fact that new hairs can grow.
This can happen, for example, in periods of hormonal changes (pregnancy,...)

This differs from person to person but usually the laser hair removal is experienced as painless. It is also built up very gradually in continuous interaction with the patient.
Some regions may be slightly more sensitive e.g. upper lip.
