Women’s Laser Hair Removal - Full Legs

Laser hair removal for the full legs is a modern procedure aimed at reducing unwanted hair growth across the entire leg area, including the thighs, lower legs, knees, and, if necessary, the toes. 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.

Hair growth on the legs may be influenced by individual characteristics and hormonal factors. The 755 nm Alexandrite laser effectively targets pigmented hair, providing gradual reduction and improving the appearance of the skin.

• tendency to irritation after shaving or depilation;
• ingrown hairs;
• hypertrichosis.

Procedure

• individual selection of laser parameters;
• treatment of the entire leg area;
• skin cooling with the Zimmer Cryo system during the procedure;
• application of a soothing product after the procedure.

Intervals between sessions

• recommended interval - 6–8 weeks;
• as hair growth decreases, the interval may be extended to 8–10 weeks;
• intervals may be adjusted individually;
• on average, 6–10 sessions are required;
