Women’s Laser Hair Removal - Full Face

Laser hair removal of the full face is a modern procedure aimed at reducing unwanted hair growth across the entire facial area. The procedure is performed using the Alexandrite DEKA Again Pro Plus laser (755 nm) and the Zimmer Cryo air cooling system, ensuring precise targeting of hair follicles and comfort during treatment.

The facial area is sensitive and hormonally influenced; therefore, the intensity and pattern of hair growth may vary depending on individual physiological and hormonal factors.

The 755 nm Alexandrite laser is particularly effective for fine and medium hair, providing a gradual reduction in hair growth and improving overall skin quality in the treated areas.

Indications

• unwanted facial hair;
• tendency to irritation after shaving or depilation;
• ingrown hairs;
• hypertrichosis;
• hirsutism (after medical evaluation).

Procedure

• assessment of skin phototype and hair characteristics;
• individual selection of laser parameters;
• treatment of the full face area;
• skin cooling with the Zimmer Cryo system during the procedure;
• application of a soothing product after the procedure.

Intervals between sessions

• recommended interval - 4–6 weeks;
• intervals may be adjusted individually depending on hair growth rate and hormonal factors;
• on average, 6–10 sessions are required;
• maintenance sessions are performed as needed.

Contraindications

• pregnancy (relative contraindication);
• active skin infections in the treatment area (bacterial, viral, fungal);
• inflammatory processes, skin damage or irritation in the treatment area;
• recent intense sun exposure or use of self-tanning products;
• photosensitivity, including medication-induced photosensitivity;
• suspicious or dermatologically unassessed pigmented lesions;
• skin cancer in the treatment area;
• tendency to keloid scarring (requires individual assessment);
• decompensated chronic diseases;
• epilepsy, especially photosensitive forms;
• use of systemic retinoids within the last 6–12 months (as advised by a physician);
• diabetes in decompensated stage (in compensated form - only with medical approval).

Aftercare

Normal reactions after the procedure may include:

• perifollicular redness for 1–2 days;
• mild sensitivity, moderate erythema, or slight swelling within the first 24 hours.

Recommendations

• cool the skin if needed;
• use soothing and moisturizing products;
• avoid hot water and friction for 24 hours;
• avoid aggressive cosmetics, acids, and retinoids for 2–3 days;
• keep the skin regularly moisturized;
• avoid trauma to the treated area;
• use SPF 50 daily;
• avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least 2 weeks.

After the procedure, temporary redness or sensitivity may occur, usually resolving within 1–3 days. Treated hairs gradually shed within 1–2 weeks. If needed, gentle trimming with a trimmer is allowed starting from approximately day 3, provided there is no skin irritation.

If severe reactions occur (strong pain, blisters, burns, signs of infection), a specialist should be consulted.
