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.
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
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
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).
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.
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.
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.
Before the session you shave the area to be treated. The laser pulse is directed zone by zone onto the skin, where you may feel a light tingling sensation. Afterwards the skin is cooled and soothed. The session lasts 15 to 60 minutes depending on the area.
On average 6 to 8 sessions are needed with an interval of 4 to 6 weeks. Laser hair removal only works on hairs in the growth phase, which is why multiple treatments are required. In case of hormonal issues such as PCOS, more sessions may be needed.
Shave the treatment area 24 to 48 hours before your appointment. Avoid sun exposure, self-tanner and waxing for at least 4 weeks before. Come with clean skin, free of sunscreen or any cream on the treatment area.
For the first 48 hours avoid intense sun exposure, sauna, sweaty exercise and hot showers. Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen daily to treated areas. Do not wax or epilate hairs between sessions - shaving is permitted.
