Epilation makes the skin smoother. There are different methods to obtain smoothness. Among them, the most permanent and painless method is the method using laser beams.

With the effect of some light sources of certain wavelength, unwanted hair removal can be achieved. Laser hair removal methods with laser light suitable for the skin directly target the hair root. These rays only destroy the root and the core cell, giving the skin smoothness. The laser, which has been used in medicine for about 40 years, has recently been used in many medicine categories. The laser beams used in the application do not have any side effects. Laser epilation devices used in applications are Nd Yag, Diot, Alexandrite.

How Does the Laser Beam Effect on the Skin?

Epilation can be defined as the removal of unwanted hair. In this method, which is performed with laser, the melanin pigment, which gives the hair its color, is targeted. This pigment, which interacts with the light, absorbs the laser beam. In this way, the hair root is destroyed. This is how the hair root is damaged in the laser epilation method that penetrates deep into the skin. Hair follicles in different parts of the body are located 2 to 5 mm below the surface. In devices developed for laser beams, operations are performed with the laser beam reaching under the skin. While applying the laser epilation method, which does not harm the surrounding tissue, specific doses are determined for each person and skin type.

How Many Sessions Is Laser Epilation Completed?

The skin type of the person is very important in epilation processes. Depending on the degree of suitability for the laser, various processes are performed. It is possible to get rid of hair between 6 and 8 sessions on average. Epilation sessions may vary depending on hormonal conditions and hair structure. We can list some of the criteria that may affect the number of sessions as follows:

  • age and gender of the person
  • skin and hair color
  • aser epilation area
  • bristle density and thickness
  • hormonal profile
  • personalized device and appropriate dose settings


Hair cycle is also very important in this process. Sessions can be lengthened or shortened depending on this cycle within the epilation application. More permanent effects can be obtained with applications made in the process called anagen phase.
