Laser Hair Removal
Enjoy Smooth, Flawless Skin with Laser Hair Removal
Are you tired of shaving or waxing? Laser hair removal has been the most popular, safe and highly effective way to achieve permanent or long-term hair removal on the face, legs, arms, underarms, back, and the bikini line.
Our experienced team at the European Institute of Plastic Surgery in Nicosia and Limassol uses the latest laser technology to offer you the smooth, hair-free skin you desire.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a cutting-edge cosmetic procedure that reduces or eliminates unwanted hair growth on various parts of the body effectively and semi-permanently. It uses highly concentrated beams of light, generated by a specialized laser device, to target and eliminate hair follicles, preventing future hair growth.
Laser hair removal works most effectively on people with fair skin and dark, coarse hair, as the contrast between hair and skin color maximizes the laser’s targeting accuracy.
Most people require multiple treatment sessions to address hair follicles in their active growth phase. The exact number of sessions varies depending on individual factors and the treated area.
Overall, laser hair removal offers a safe, efficient, and long-lasting solution to unwanted hair, making it a popular choice for those seeking smooth, hair-free skin.

How Does It Work?
Laser hair removal works by emitting precise pulses of energy that are absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. This energy is converted into heat, which damages the follicles, inhibiting their ability to produce hair.
However, since only actively growing hairs can be effectively targeted, multiple sessions are usually required to ensure all hair follicles undergo treatment.
Why You Should Choose It?
When compared to traditional hair removal methods such as shaving, waxing, or plucking, laser hair removal stands out for its effectiveness and safety.
It provides lasting results, minimizes the risk of ingrown hairs, and eliminates the need for daily or frequent maintenance. Moreover, it is less painful and offers precision in targeting hair follicles without harming the surrounding skin.
While the initial cost may be higher, the long-term benefits make it a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Laser hair removal can effectively treat various body areas. Each treatment area requires a personalized approach to ensure the best results.
