The thighs

At the thighs, the hairs are also thin and very clear, in some cases, it may be light fuzzy hairs that should not be treated to avoid stimulation of the hair.

It usually takes between 6 and 8 sessions of laser hair removal.

Before removing the hair on the legs, a first consultation with the doctor is carried out and allows him to know more about your ancestry and your expectations for the first consultation. He also examines your skin and hair to determine the intensity of the laser but also to detect any contraindications that could prevent you from performing laser hair removal.

On the day of the laser hair removal, the practitioner takes the time to examine again the skin and the hairs on your legs. He checks the shaving of the legs and can, if necessary, be brought to shave them himself.

Once the checks are done, he gives you a pair of safety glasses that you must wear. He delineates the treatment area with a white pencil to avoid areas where hair removal is not necessary. He then tests the laser on a small part of your skin and checks the intensity.

Finally, he sweeps the area using a handpiece. The cryogenic system of the device prevents pain and redness through the diffusion of a cold liquid during the procedure.

At the end of your session, the doctor applies a moisturizing and soothing cream on your legs to calm the redness and pain.

As the sessions progress, the hairs grow back less and less. At the end of your sessions, about 90% of your hair will not regrow except in case of hormonal variation as during menopause. Therefore, maintenance sessions are expected each year.
