In an average of 6 to 10 or 8 to 12 treatments (depending on skin and hair type), we can permanently remove up to 90% of active hairs. Permanent 100% of hair removal does not exist, but we can achieve a very smooth and long-lasting hair-free result. This is because the body always continues to activate new, previously inactive hair follicles.

100% painless laser hair removal does not exist. Because if you don't feel anything, nothing happens. Most people describe it as:
* Warmth / sensation of heat
* Short, sharp prick
* Rubber band tap on the skin
It is usually not extreme pain, but you do feel it. Some areas feel more sensitive than others. I do not use numbing cream. However, I do cool the skin during the treatment for extra comfort.

Almost every skin type can be treated with the Mediostar Monolith, but it depends on the right

No, laser hair removal works less well on gray hair, very blonde hair, or red hair. This is because the laser works on melanin. Without pigment, the hair follicle cannot absorb the energy properly.

It is permitted, provided that:
✔️ You have not actively sunbathed 2 – 3 weeks before the treatment (varies by skin type)
✔️ No tanning beds
✔️ No self-tanner (stop for at least 2 weeks)
✔️ Stay out of direct sunlight for 2 weeks after the treatment
✔️ You use SPF 30–50 daily

Yes, you must shave before the treatment. 24 hours before your appointment is ideal.

Not right before your appointment (skin may be irritated)
Not 3–4 days earlier (by then it will have grown too far) 4 weeks before treatment:
* Do not epilate
* Do not wax
No hair removal cream
No tweezers

Why? Because then you pull out the hair root, and without a root, the laser cannot destroy anything.

Yes. You may always shave between treatments.
Waxing, epilating, or threading is discouraged because the hair root is removed, whereas the laser works specifically on the hair root.

It is better not to use deodorant for the first 24 hours, especially after an underarm treatment. The skin may be temporarily sensitive, and deodorant can cause irritation.

Yes. Laser hair removal significantly reduces ingrown hairs. Because the hair follicles are weakened or destroyed, fewer hairs grow back and the risk of ingrowth is greatly reduced. Many clients choose laser hair removal precisely because of complaints such as ingrown hairs or shaving irritation.

For legs, multiple treatments are usually required. The exact number depends on factors such as hair color, thickness, skin type, and the hair growth cycle. You can expect between 6 and 10 or 8 and 12, depending on skin type, hair color, and thickness.

After a few treatments, hair growth can often already decrease and hairs become thinner, causing stubble to diminish with each treatment. For a long-lasting result, multiple treatments are usually necessary.

With a bikini treatment, only the hair outside the bikini line is removed. Bikini medium goes slightly further inward. With a Brazilian, virtually all hair in the intimate area is removed, depending on the desired style.

A Brazilian typically requires multiple treatments because the hairs are in different growth phases. The exact number varies per person.

Most people experience a warm or slightly tingling sensation during the treatment. Some areas may be more sensitive than others, but many devices have a cooling system to improve comfort.

The treatment is performed by a trained specialist using suitable safe equipment, ensuring that laser hair removal in this area is carried out safely.

Multiple treatments are also necessary for the underarms. This area often responds well to laser hair removal because the hairs there are usually dark and thick.

Some people notice that their skin looks calmer and more even because irritation from shaving or ingrown hairs is reduced. The effect may vary from person to person.

Many people notice after just a few treatments that hair growth decreases or that hair grows back thinner.

Laser hair removal can also help reduce hair growth associated with hormonal hair growth. However, sometimes more treatments or maintenance treatments are required than for the rest of the body.

Multiple treatments are usually required for the upper lip because facial hair has a shorter growth cycle.

It is often recommended to let the skin settle for a moment before applying makeup. This may vary by salon.

Laser hair removal can also be effective for men, especially in areas such as the back, chest, or shoulders where heavy hair growth often occurs.

For larger areas such as the back or chest, multiple treatments are usually required. The exact number varies per person.

Yes, laser can also be used to reduce or thin beard growth, for example to create a clean beard line.

Many people start a few months before the summer, so that multiple treatments can already take place before the warm period begins.

This depends on the equipment and skin type. It is often advised not to perform treatments on recently tanned skin. Allow the skin to rest for 2 weeks after the last day in the sun.

No, I do not provide treatments at the salon during pregnancy. You are very welcome after the pregnancy.

After the treatment, the skin may be temporarily red or sensitive. This usually subsides quickly. Serious side effects are rare when the treatment is performed correctly.
