Hair Removal: Smooth Skin, Lasting Results
Unwanted hair can be a persistent issue, but with Fotona’s advanced laser hair removal, you can achieve smooth, hair-free skin with lasting results. Fotona’s laser hair removal works by emitting targeted laser energy that penetrates the skin to reach hair follicles. The laser’s energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, destroying the follicles and preventing future hair growth. This process is gentle on the skin, minimizing discomfort and allowing for quick recovery.

What to expect – HAIR REMOVAL treatment
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Stay out of the sun for at least two weeks before your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can increase the risk of side effects.
- Shave the Area: Shave the treatment area 24-48 hours before your appointment to ensure the laser can effectively target the hair follicles.

- Avoid Sun Exposure: Continue to avoid direct sun exposure for at least two weeks after treatment. Use a broad-spectrum, physical sunscreen that content titanium or zinc oxide with at least SPF 30 if you need to be outdoors.
- Gentle Skin Care: Avoid hot showers, saunas, and strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours post-treatment to prevent irritation. Use gentle skincare products and avoid exfoliants and retinoids for a few days.
