Natura Hair Removal & Skin Care, we delve into the fascinating world of laser hair removal. Often surrounded by myths and confusion, this technique has gained popularity as a long-lasting and effective solution for removing unwanted hair. In this blog, we will unravel the most common myths and answer the questions that our followers and users have asked us.
1. Can I have laser hair removal if I have a tattoo? What happens if I have laser hair removal on a tattoo?
Although laser hair removal is an excellent option for permanent hair removal, the laser is designed to absorb dark pigments in the skin. Therefore, it is not possible to do the laser treatment without affecting the tattoo ink.
If the area where you have the tattoo undergoes laser hair removal, there is a risk that the tattoo may be permanently damaged or even cause blistering that can take a long time to heal.
2. How does laser hair removal work?
Absorbed light: The laser emits light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle (the part of the hair under the skin).
Heat and damage: The light converted to heat affects the hair follicles, preventing hair regrowth.
Long-lasting effect: By inhibiting or delaying future hair growth, laser hair removal offers a long-term solution to removing unwanted hair.
Please note that several sessions are usually required to obtain optimal results.
3. Is laser hair removal safe?
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. During laser hair removal, a laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. Laser hair removal is generally safe if performed correctly.
4. Is laser hair removal painful?
The sensation varies from person to person, but many people describe laser hair removal as a prickling or warm sensation. Most patients tolerate the procedure well. At Natura Hair Removal & Skin Care, we use advanced techniques such as dynamic cooling and state-of-the-art diode lasers to minimize any discomfort.
5. How many laser hair removal sessions are needed?
The number of sessions depends on several factors, such as the area treated, hair color and skin type. Generally, at least 6 to 8 sessions are recommended for long-lasting results
6. What precautions should I take before and after epilation?
Before treatment, avoid exposure to the sun and do not wax or tweeze. After the treatment, protect your skin from the sun and follow the specialist’s recommendations to maximize the benefits.

9. Is laser hair removal approved by the FDA?
Yes, Laser hair removal has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for permanent hair reduction. This means that the FDA has determined that laser hair removal devices are safe and effective for reducing unwanted hair when used properly.
10. Can I have laser hair removal if I am pregnant or breastfeeding? ed by the FDA?
The safety of laser hair removal during pregnancy has not been fully studied, so it is recommended to wait until after pregnancy. Hormonal changes during pregnancy may affect hair growth and skin sensitivity, which could alter treatment results.
During lactation, although there is no conclusive evidence of risk, it is advisable to be cautious and consult a doctor before starting treatment.
11. Which laser hair removal machine is the best?
Candela Medical’s Gentle Pro™ series is widely recognised as one of the best options in laser hair removal. Let me explain why:
- Gentle Pro Series:
Leading Innovation: These devices have been leaders in the field of laser hair removal for over 20 years. - Trusted worldwide: Dermatologists and aestheticians trust them to treat patients with a variety of skin types.
- Dual wavelengths: The Gentle Pro Series combines two wavelengths: 755 nm (Alexandrite laser) and 1064 nm (Nd:YAG laser).
12. How long does each laser hair removal session last?
The length of each session varies depending on the area treated. Generally, laser hair removal sessions on small areas, such as the upper lip or underarms, can take 10 to 30 minutes. Larger areas, such as the legs or back, may require more time.
13. Can laser hair removal cause cancer?
Laser hair removal has not been scientifically linked to cancer. Although there have been concerns about the light emitted by laser hair removal devices, experts say that the frequency of the light is very low and does not change the DNA of skin cells.
14. Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal can significantly reduce hair growth in the treated area, and in some cases even stop it completely. However, it is not a completely permanent solution to hair removal. You may need periodic maintenance treatments to maintain results. On average, most people require 6-8 treatments spaced about 4-6 weeks apart, although some may need more. Also, keep in mind that each successive treatment may reduce hair growth even further.
15. What should I expect after a laser hair removal session?
After treatment, it is normal to experience redness and swelling on the treated skin. You may also feel a slight sensation of heat. Follow your specialist’s recommendations to take care of your skin and avoid exposure to the sun.

17. What happens if I stop laser hair removal after 2 sessions?
If you stop laser hair removal treatment after only 2 sessions, you may not get the desired results. Here are the most important consequences:
- Hair regrowth: Untreated hair will grow back, as the required number of sessions has not been completed to remove it completely.
- Disrupted growth cycle: Interrupting the process can disrupt the normal hair growth cycle, making it difficult to achieve ideal results.
18. Can I exercise after laser hair removal?
It is recommended that you avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after your laser hair removal session. Sweat and friction can irritate the treated skin. After that period, you can resume your normal activities.
