Laser Protocol

Laser hair removal is effective as long as the right technology is used and the proper protocol is followed.

The laser targets the melanin in the hair to destroy the follicle at the root. The result: the hair no longer grows back. However, the laser only affects hairs in the active growth phase, which is why several sessions spaced apart are needed to treat all the hair in a given area.

At YETY LASER, we use the Candela GentleMax Pro. Hair reduction is visible from the very first sessions. By the end of the treatment course, virtually all treated hairs will not grow back.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin in the hair with a beam of light that is converted into heat and destroys the hair follicle at the root, without damaging the skin. The hair does not grow back because the bulb is no longer supplied with blood by the microvascular structures.

The interval between two laser hair removal sessions is between 6 and 8 weeks. This allows the hair to be treated during a specific growth phase (the anagen phase). Treatments that are too close together or too far apart reduce the treatment's effectiveness.

On average, a treatment course consists of 6 to 8 sessions, spaced several weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area being treated, hair density, and the individual’s response to treatment. Follow-up sessions may be recommended over time.

It is important to stick to a regular laser treatment schedule, as this is the key to good results. Since the laser is only effective on hairs in the active growth phase, missing sessions or extending the time between sessions can significantly slow down results. More sessions will be needed to complete the treatment plan.

Yes, shaving is allowed—and even recommended—during the laser hair removal treatment. However, it is not recommended to remove hair by plucking, waxing, or using an electric epilator, as the laser must target the hair all the way down to the root to be effective. It is recommended that you shave the area 24 to 48 hours before your laser session.

There are contraindications for laser hair removal. Certain situations require a preliminary evaluation: recent sun exposure, specific medication regimens, or skin conditions. A personalized assessment is conducted before any treatment begins to ensure safety and effectiveness.In addition, laser hair removal cannot be performed on blond, white, or red hair.

At Yety Laser, we use the latest-generation Candela Gentle Max Pro Plus laser. This laser combines an alexandrite crystal and an Nd:YAG crystal. We combine this laser with a pulsed-cold cryotherapy device (Mecotec Premium) to cool the treatment area to -32 degrees, thereby improving results and minimizing discomfort.

Yes, the laser is safe for the skin and internal organs when used with certified medical technology, appropriate settings, and a standardized protocol, as is the case at Yety Laser.

All areas of the body can be treated with laser therapy for both men and women. Laser therapy is safe for the skin and has no harmful effects or side effects. The most commonly treated areas are: the back, underarms, beard line, bikini line, between the eyebrows, the nape of the neck, and the intimate areas.

The principles of laser hair removal are the same for everyone: target the follicle, destroy the root, and prevent regrowth.

What varies are the settings. Hair density, thickness, and depth influence the power and frequency of the pulses used. Our laser aesthetician tailors these settings to each individual during the initial consultation, regardless of gender.
