Laser hair removal
Valvira has granted Femina Beauty Oy a license to produce private healthcare services.

Constant shaving may seem tedious and frustrating. With the help of laser treatment, you can forget the razors at the back of the cupboard, because laser treatment effectively reduces hair growth and even removes it permanently. The treatment is suitable for almost the entire body, such as the bikini area, legs, armpits and face - easily and relatively painlessly. We serve customers regardless of gender.

Goodbye razors – get rid of hair permanently
The superior advantage of laser compared to other hair removal methods is the permanence and ease of the result. Women typically need more permanent hair removal on the face, armpits, bikini area and legs. Men, on the other hand, may find shaving especially the back and neck to be a chore. Laser treatment is safe to do on almost the entire body.
In addition, laser treatment can solve skin problems known from other hair removal methods, such as skin irritation caused by continuous shaving, ingrown hairs and hair follicle infections.
Effect of laser treatment on hair
In the treatment, we use a researched and effective diode laser, which has been shown to reduce hair loss in the area by 80% after 5-8 treatments. The operation of the laser is based on the absorption of laser light into the pigment of the hair, i.e. melanin. Hair follicles are the most melanin-rich part of the hair, and as a result of the laser light directed at them, the hair follicles heat up and are destroyed. The diode laser we use has a cooling head, which significantly reduces pain and makes the treatment pleasant. However, it is not always a completely painless treatment.
A good result requires several visits
Due to its mechanism, laser hair removal requires several treatments — our recommendation is at least 5 times (the facial area at least 8 times). Hair growth has three stages:
-
Anagen phase: the growth phase in which the hair grows in the hair follicle
-
Catagen phase: the finished hair comes out of the hair follicle
-
Telogen phase: the resting phase, after which the hair falls out and the cycle starts over
Laser hair removal takes place in the first, anagen phase, because that's when the amount of melanin in the hair follicle is at its maximum. Depending on the skin area, 15–30% of the hairs are in the anagen phase at any one time, which is why 5–8 treatments are usually needed to get the result. The destroyed hair no longer grows back, but the hairs in different stages of growth grow normally, which is why you need at least 5 treatments. The interval between treatments is typically 4-8 weeks, depending on the skin area and hair growth. If necessary, the treatment interval can be extended without a significant effect on the final result.
In addition, it is very important to shave the skin every week even if the hair growth has decreased radically. Shaving helps to see which hairs still need lasering and which don't. The diode laser does not cause hair to fall out, but the technology is based on the slowing down of hair growth.
The effect of different hair and skin types on laser power
The melanin levels of different skins and hairs vary, which is why laser treatment is suitable for different skin areas in different ways. The lighter the skin is in relation to the color of the hair, the more effective the treatment. The darker the skin, the more energy is dissipated in the skin's melanin. The laser does not work on blonde, red and gray hair.
Dark-colored tattoos prevent treatment, because the laser light is absorbed by the dark color and it burns away. If you want smooth skin as a base for a tattoo, then first do laser hair removal and tattoo on newly treated skin.
Instructions before treatment
-
Avoid epilation, waxing and plucking of the treated skin area 5 weeks before the procedure. Shaving and cutting hair are allowed.
-
Avoid being in the sun for 2-6 weeks before the treatment, depending on how easily you tan. The lighter the skin is compared to the hair, the more effective the treatment works.
-
Do not use tanning creams for 2 weeks before the treatment.
-
Shave 24 hours before the treatment, preferably the night before. Continue to shave every week, throughout the treatment plan.
-
Wash thoroughly before coming to the treatment and leave the areas to be treated free of creams or deodorants.
Procedure and aftercare
The skin area to be treated is disinfected and a cooling gel is applied to it.
The effectiveness of the laser treatment is determined by skin type and skin response.
After the treatment, the skin area may be red for 2-3 hours.
Otherwise, you can function normally after the treatment, except for:
Immediately after the treatment, the sun should be avoided and an effective sunscreen should be used for at least 2 weeks.
Sauna and bathing are not recommended during the next day, otherwise you can function normally after the treatment.
Treatment sessions are recommended 5–8 times and the treatment is repeated every 4–8 weeks.
