laser hair
removal
Tired of shaving, waxing or epilating over and over again? Laser hair removal is a safe, effective and long-lasting solution for unwanted hair, and almost painless too. The laser targets the hair root and stops new hairs from growing back, so your skin stays smooth and soft for longer. During your complimentary consultation, we assess your skin and hair type and create a personalised treatment plan for the best possible result. Think smooth skin every day, without the hassle.
Benieuwd wat we kunnen betekenen?
what is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated pulses of light that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. That energy travels down to the hair root and disables it, slowing down new growth. At UMA Clinic, we work with lasers that are both precise and highly effective.
So how is it different from IPL? The Nd:YAG and Alexandrite lasers are more targeted and reach deeper into the hair follicles, giving you faster and longer-lasting results.
who is laser hair removal suitable for?
Laser hair removal is suitable for anyone who wants to say goodbye to unwanted hair. The darker the hair and the lighter the skin, the more effective the treatment. Thanks to modern laser technology, there are also excellent options for darker skin types.
common areas
- bikini line
- underarms
- legs
- upper lip and chin
- facial hair in women

laser hair removal for the bikini line, legs or face
The bikini line is one of our most popular areas: no more ingrown hairs, just smooth skin, always. Lasering your legs saves time and hassle too, especially in summer. Many women also choose to permanently remove bothersome facial hair on the chin, cheeks or upper lip. With the Nd:YAG or Alexandrite laser, this can be done safely and effectively, with minimal redness or downtime.
