Hair removal





Imagine what life would be like if you didn't have to shave, pluck or wax, or endure painful electrolysis. Dr Andrée Mathieu-Serra uses the latest generation laser known as "LightSheerTDiode" - approved by the U.S.Food and Drug Administration (FDA) - for its effectiveness in permanent hair removal.

In what areas can hair be removed by laser? Except for the eyelashes, hair can be removed safely from all parts of the body.

Is it painful?
An anesthetic cream is applied to render the treatment painless or very tolerable for the majority of patients.

How many treatments are necessary?
The response to treatment is excellent in 80% of the cases. Further, in 80% of the cases, depending on the individual and the area treated, from 3 to 6 sessions are needed at 6 to 12 week intervals. Facial hair is often the most resistant as it is stimulated by hormones, therefore, up to 10 sessions may be needed for facial hair.

Is it permanent?
According to current scientific data, it is impossible to guarantee permanent hair removal with any known laser treatment. In fact, there are pluripotential skin cells that produce hair when stimulated. For example, as a result of hormonal changes, an increase in facial hair growth has been seen in perimenopausal women.
