all about
hair removal
Excess hair growth can really affect your confidence, especially when unwanted hair appears on visible or sensitive areas such as the face, arms, legs or bikini line. In some cases, it’s a condition called hirsutism: an increase in thicker hairs in places where women normally have little hair growth.
The good news? Laser treatments offer a safe, effective and long-lasting solution for permanent hair removal on both body and face. Hair growth is reduced for the long term, and your skin stays smooth and soft for longer. No more shaving or waxing hassle.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is excess hair growth?
Excess hair growth means having more, and thicker, hair than average. In women, excessive male-pattern hair growth usually points to hirsutism, which can be hormonal or run in the family. It often shows up on the chin, cheeks, stomach, back or chest, and many people find it bothersome.
causes and risk factors
- genetic predisposition or ethnic background
- hormonal imbalance (PCOS, menopause, medication)
- certain medicines such as corticosteroids
- endocrine disorders
symptoms of unwanted hair growth
- thick, dark hairs on the chin, jawline or cheeks
- a lot of hair on the stomach, chest or back in women
- ingrown hairs, itching or folliculitis after hair removal at home
who is laser hair removal suitable for?
Laser hair removal is suitable for anyone with excess hair growth, from fine, light hair to dense and/or thick hair. At UMA, we tailor every treatment to your skin and hair type.
treatment methods at uma clinic
laser
The Nd:YAG laser is ideal for darker skin types and deep-lying hair follicles. Thanks to its specific wavelength, it effectively heats the pigment in the hair follicle while protecting the surrounding tissue. This minimises the risk of pigment changes, making the treatment safe and effective, even for higher Fitzpatrick skin types.
results you can expect
- after 3 to 5 sessions, you’ll already see 60 to 80% less hair.
- on average, 6 to 8 sessions are needed for virtually permanent hair removal.
- hairs that grow back are often finer, lighter and slower-growing.
before and aftercare for laser hair removal
- shave the area 24 hours before the treatment; do not wax or epilate.
- avoid sun, sunbeds and self-tanners for 2 weeks before and after each session.
- apply SPF to the treated skin every day, especially after facial hair removal.
- cool and moisturise the skin if needed; avoid sauna and intense exercise for 24 hours.
