Laser Hair Removal at SwissMed Clinic
Laser hair removal at SwissMed Clinic in Dubai offers a reliable way to achieve smoother skin with predictable results. Treatments are delivered by trained practitioners using medical-grade, FDA-cleared platforms with integrated cooling for comfort. Plans are personalised to your skin type and hair characteristics, and most areas of the face and body can be treated in short, well-spaced sessions.
What Is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that targets the pigment within active hair follicles. Controlled heat travels down the hair shaft to the root and disables its ability to regrow. Because follicles cycle through active and resting phases, a series of sessions is required to capture each group at the right stage. With each visit, regrowth becomes finer and slower, reducing the need for shaving or waxing.
Why Choose SwissMed Clinic
Every course begins with a careful consultation to review skin tone, hair density and colour, medical history, and previous laser experience. Parameters are selected specifically for you, and a patch test is performed when indicated. Treatments use medical-grade devices suitable for a wide range of skin tones. Integrated cooling improves comfort, protective eyewear is used throughout, and clear aftercare is provided so you can return to daily activities with confidence.
Areas We Treat
Most regions respond well to treatment, including the face such as the upper lip, chin, and sideburns, as well as underarms, arms, and legs. The bikini and Brazilian areas, back, chest, and abdomen can also be addressed. For comprehensive reduction across multiple regions, full-body plans are available. Your practitioner will confirm suitability for each site and explain how hormonal factors may influence response in areas like the face.
What to Expect
Your first visit includes a structured consultation and a focused skin and hair assessment. Where helpful, photographs are taken to track progress. During treatment, a handheld device glides over the skin while cooling supports comfort. Sessions are typically quick, and there is no significant downtime. After each appointment you receive simple guidance on skincare, sun protection, and the ideal interval before the next session.
Safety and Suitability
Modern platforms make treatment well tolerated for a broad range of skin tones. Most patients describe a brief snapping sensation that settles quickly. If you are pregnant, using photosensitising medication, or have an active skin infection, treatment will be deferred until it is safe. To protect your skin and improve results, you will be asked to shave the area before appointments and to avoid recent tanning or self-tan products.
Expected Results and Maintenance
Most areas require a course of six to eight sessions for long-term reduction. Many patients notice visible changes after the first few visits as treated hairs shed and regrowth softens. A small amount of fine hair can return over time due to hormonal and genetic factors. Occasional maintenance sessions help preserve a smooth result, and your practitioner will suggest a schedule that fits your goals.
Pre-care and Aftercare
Before treatment, avoid waxing or threading since removing the root reduces effectiveness; shaving the day before keeps energy focused on the follicle. After treatment, mild redness or warmth can occur and usually settles within hours. Use gentle moisturisers and cooling gels as advised, avoid hot baths, vigorous exercise, and perfumed products on the day, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to exposed areas throughout the course.
Frequently asked questions Laser Hair Removal
Is treatment suitable for all skin tones?
Yes. Medical-grade platforms with adjustable settings allow safe, effective treatment across a wide range of skin tones. A consultation and patch test confirm comfortable parameters.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients achieve strong reduction with six to eight sessions, spaced according to the growth cycle of the area being treated. Hair colour, density, and hormones can influence the total number.
Does it hurt?
Discomfort is usually mild and brief. Integrated cooling and optimised settings keep the sensation to a quick snap or warmth that settles during the session.
Is there downtime?
There is no significant downtime. Temporary pinkness or sensitivity may appear and typically resolves within a few hours with simple aftercare.
Can I shave between sessions?
Yes. Shaving is recommended. Waxing and threading should be avoided because they remove the root and can reduce effectiveness.
Are results permanent?
Laser hair removal provides long-term reduction rather than absolute permanence. Any regrowth is usually finer and lighter, and occasional maintenance can keep areas smooth.
Can treatment help with ingrown hairs?
Many patients notice fewer ingrown hairs as growth reduces and hair shafts become finer, which improves skin texture over time.
