Before your consultation

  • How should we understand the term 'permanent hair removal'?
  • Are regrown hairs the same as the original hairs?
  • For maintenance procedures, do you continue to receive them regularly like a subscription?

General information, not a personal diagnosis or treatment plan. Suitability, risks and recovery require an individual consultation.

How should we understand the term 'permanent hair removal'?

Society guidelines explain that although hair may decrease for a long time after treatment, maintenance procedures may still be necessary. This should be distinguished from the guarantee that no hair will ever grow again. It is good to specifically define the expected final state during consultation.

Are regrown hairs the same as the original hairs?

Compare thickness, density, and the treatment area where hair grows. The evaluation differs when there are fewer, finer hairs compared to when they are thick and dense as initially. By recording the frequency of shaving over a period of time, you can also check lifestyle changes that may not be visible in pictures.

For maintenance procedures, do you continue to receive them regularly like a subscription?

Assess the degree of regrowth and your own discomfort to determine the necessity. Rather than repeating automatically just because the date has come, check the current state. In consultation, distinguish whether there are thin hairs left that would bring little benefit from further treatment.

Is the regrowth of beard and leg hair the same?

The characteristics of the treatment area and hair changes may vary. Do not apply your facial experience to all treatment areas on the body. It is advisable to note which treatment area changed and when, and to share any new medication intake or changes in physical condition together.

What can you compare if there are no before-and-after photos?

Recall and record your previous shaving frequency and the time when hair growth became uncomfortable. From now on, you can take photos at the point when hair has grown to the same length for comparison. Directly comparing the smooth photo immediately after the procedure with the appearance after several weeks of growth may lead to inaccurate judgment.
