Professional laser hair removal for men and women: choose CHRIS in Den Haag – Book now!
Permanent laser hair removal of the upper legs is a much-requested treatment among women. During this treatment both legs are treated from the knee up to the top of the thigh, but the bikini line is not included. Traditional methods such as using razors, shaving creams or waxing are often painful, irritate the skin and have a short-lived effect. Hair removal creams can even be harmful to the skin. A treatment for the permanent removal of the whole legs offers a lasting solution. A session takes about 20 minutes. We also offer separate laser treatments for the lower or full legs, and hips.
Does laser hair removal on my upper legs hurt? Is it safe?
Waxing your upper legs every time is a time-consuming chore and it always grows back. Fortunately there is a better option: laser hair removal for your upper legs. This laser treatment feels more like a pinch or a flick of an elastic band and gives a warm sensation, but does not hurt. With our aloe vera gel we can soothe the skin even more. Moreover, laser hair removal is very safe and the risks are rare and easy to avoid by simply following your therapist’s instructions.
How many laser treatments of the upper legs do I need?
Our package for laser hair removal of the upper legs includes six treatments. Each treatment must be scheduled four to six weeks apart because of the hair growth cycle. Laser treatments only work on hair that is actively growing. The growth phase of the hair cycle is called the anagen phase. This is the only time when the hair and the follicles are connected to each other. This allows the energy from the hair to be transferred to the follicles. Since 20% of your hair is in the anagen phase, one treatment can target 20% of the hair. Each subsequent treatment will target another 20%.
How do I prepare for a laser session for my upper legs?
Ready for your laser treatment for the upper legs? Here are a few tips!
- Keep your upper legs out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds or intense UV radiation.
- Tell your therapist about any medication you are taking.
- Cleanse your skin and keep it free of lotions, creams, moisturizers, perfumes and make-up.
- Make sure you shave 48 hours beforehand, or at least three hours before your session.
When will I see results after laser hair removal of the upper legs?
Laser hair removal of the upper legs is super handy for getting rid of unwanted hair, but it is not a quick fix. Each session only tackles a maximum of 20% of the hair. So after each session you will see a reduction of about 20% of your hair. After a week the hair already starts to fall out and after the third session you should have lost at least 50% of the hair. But note that, to make the treatment effective, it is important to schedule each session about four to six weeks apart. If you do not, it will take longer before you achieve the desired results. So stay consistent and stick to the schedule!
