How does laser hair removal work?

During the laser treatment the hair follicles are destroyed by means of light pulses. This happens very precisely through absorption of the light by the pigments in the hair root, without damaging other skin structures. Our laser device emits a powerful, concentrated, pure beam of light that is 'fired' at the hair for a fraction of a second. This process is only effective during the growth phases of the hair. However, hairs are not all in the same phase at the same time. For this reason several laser treatments are needed. On average, 6 to 8 treatments are sufficient. The time between treatments depends on the treatment area. For the face this is usually 5 to 6 weeks and for the body about 8 weeks.

About our laser device: the Elits Epil808 Diode Laser

For laser hair removal, the CHRIS laser experts use the Elits Epil808 Diode Laser. This professional laser meets the highest medical and European safety standards, offers high-quality performance and is manufactured by an Italian family business. Because the skin is cooled directly during laser treatment, clients experience the treatment as virtually painless. Another advantage is that the Elits Epil808 Diode Laser offers a minimal risk of hyperpigmentation.

Laser treatment at CHRIS: this is how we work

When you choose CHRIS for laser hair removal, we guide you from intake to the final treatment. Below you'll find our approach.

Step 1: free intake and a tailored treatment plan

We understand that taking the step towards laser hair removal can be quite exciting. Perhaps you've shaved your whole life and hair removal by laser is new to you. No worries! At CHRIS, real laser experts work who will tell you all about laser hair removal, can take away your concerns and draw up a treatment plan together with you. During the free, no-obligation intake we discuss your wishes and the course of the treatment, study your hair growth and measure your skin with a medical pigment and redness analyser. This way we know exactly what your skin type and sensitivity are, so we can adjust the laser safely and perfectly to your skin. This way we cannot make any mistakes and you are assured of an optimal result. Once we know your skin type and have mapped out the colour and thickness of your hair, we create a treatment plan. You will then also know roughly how many treatments you need. After the intake it's time for your first laser treatment.

Step 2: the laser treatment

For the first treatment you come to the salon unshaven – with a few weeks of hair growth. This way we can properly study your hair growth and colour. Before the treatment begins we take photos of the area to be treated, so we can properly track the progress and result. These photos are not used for any other purpose. We first cleanse your skin with Dermalogica products, shave the hair and prepare you for the start of the treatment. During the laser treatment the treated zones are measured for pigment and redness, so we can be sure the laser device is set to the most effective settings. The laser treatment itself takes a maximum of half an hour, depending on the area to be treated. The laser feels as if a rubber band is briefly snapped against the skin. You do feel it, but it is virtually painless. After the laser treatment we care for your skin with a cooling and soothing aloe vera gel.

Step 3: aftercare and progress

After one week you may expose the treated areas to the sun or sunbed again. Always cover the skin with a high-factor sunscreen. After about six weeks the next treatment takes place, as the next growth phase of the hairs then begins. Do not wax or epilate the area to be treated between treatments. If you do, the laser treatment will be less effective. Before the next treatment, shave the treated areas 48 hours in advance and leave a little of the hair growth so we can see how fast your hair growth phase is.
