Treatment protocol for laser hair removal – Step by step

Laser hair removal is more than just a treatment. At I CARE CLINIC, we work with a scientifically proven treatment protocol that focuses on safety, results and skin comfort. This way, you know exactly what to expect – before, during and after each session.

Step 1 – Intake and skin analysis

Before the first treatment, we always schedule a free intake consultation. During this consultation:
• Analysis of your skin type and hair colour
• Discussion of your medical history
(such as hormonal influences or medication)
• Before and after photos if desired
• Customised treatment plan: number of sessions, expected results and price

Step 2 – Preparation for treatment

For optimal results, there are a few things to keep in mind a few days before the session:
• Shave the area to be treated 24–48 hours in advance
• Avoid sun and sunbeds for at least 2 weeks before the treatment
• Do not use self-tanners, scrubs or perfumes on the treated area
• Stop waxing or epilating at least 4 weeks in advance (the hair follicle must be present

Step 3 – The treatment itself

During the session:
• You will wear protective goggles
• The area will be shaved again if necessary
• The laser settings will be adjusted to your skin type
• Cooling before and after the pulses to minimise discomfort
• You will feel a slight tingling sensation, often described as a warm tap
Duration: from 10 minutes (e.g. upper lip) to 60 minutes (full legs or back).

Step 4 – Aftercare and recovery phase

After the treatment:
• Avoid heat (sauna, hot showers) and exercise for 24 hours
• Apply a soothing gel
(such as aloe vera)
• Protect your skin with SPF 50 if the area is exposed to sunlight
• Do not pull out hairs with tweezers or wax (razors are fine)
After 1 to 2 weeks, you will see the first hairs fall out – this is completely normal.

Step 5 – Follow-up treatments and evaluation

Laser hair removal only works on active hair follicles (growth phase). Therefore, multiple sessions are required, usually:
• 6 to 8 treatments with an interval of 4–6 weeks
• Interim evaluation of results
• Possible maintenance treatments
(once a year for some areas)
In cases of hormonal causes (such as PCOS), a longer treatment plan may be necessary.

Fitzpatrick skin types

Adjustment according to skin type
For each treatment, we carefully tailor the treatment protocol to your skin type. The settings of the laser device – such as energy, pulse duration and cooling – are adjusted to achieve maximum effectiveness with minimal risk of irritation or side effects. This way, we guarantee safe and visible results, regardless of whether you have light, medium or dark skin.

Testimonials

From the very first moment, I felt welcome. The treatment protocol is not only effective, but also carried out with such care that I almost experience it as a wellness treatment. Everything is arranged down to the last detail – from the initial consultation to the aftercare. This is what I expect from a premium clinic.

Trust in expertise What immediately struck me was how professionally the team works. Before the treatment, I received a comprehensive skin analysis and an explanation of the step-by-step plan. Everything is carefully monitored and adjusted where necessary. You can feel that the treatment protocol is scientifically based. You are truly in good hands here.

I had tried everything to get rid of my unwanted hair growth, but it was only at I CARE CLINIC that I saw real results. The treatment protocol was tailored entirely to my skin type and hair colour. After just a few sessions, I noticed a visible difference. Now I feel more confident every day. I would definitely recommend it!
