What is
Laser Epilation And How Does It Work?
Laser epilation is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses laser technology for permanent unwanted hair removal. It follows “selective photothermolysis” which uses concentrated beams of light to target the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The melanin absorbs the light energy, which then converts to heat and effectively causes hair follicle damage, without harming your skin.
According to a research article, the effectiveness of this treatment depends on several factors, including skin type, hair characteristics, and hormonal profile.

What Is The Process Of Laser Epilation?
Laser hair treatment is a less complicated cosmetic procedure. Here’s a detailed step-by-step explanation of the laser hair removal process.
Initial Consultation
Before starting any treatment, you will have a detailed consultation with our expert dermatologist at Asli Tarcan. They will:

- Evaluate your skin type, hair color, and texture to determine the best type of hair laser removal for your specific needs.
- Discuss which areas of your body you want to treat (e.g., legs, underarms, face, bikini area).
Preparation
The area to be treated is cleaned and shaved before the session to remove the hair above the skin’s surface. This allows the laser to target the hair follicle beneath the skin. We provide you with protective eyewear to shield your eyes from the bright laser light.
