Leg laser hair removal

As with any area of ​​the body, for both women and men, hair removal can very quickly become a chore. For those whose hair cycle is particularly rapid, the loss of time can be considerable and costly. Sensitive skin is at risk of developing irritation, redness and pimples from regularly attacking the skin.

Permanent leg hair removal is often requested for practical reasons among athletes (particularly for swimmers or cyclists ) .

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that must be preceded by an interview and a clinical examination of the area to be treated.

Certain contraindications must be eliminated, for your safety and the effectiveness of the gesture:

• Recent sun exposure should delay laser hair removal treatment. Indeed, tanned skin is rich in melanin and risks burns as well as skin lesions. As soon as you regain your natural complexion, it will be possible to schedule your laser hair removal sessions .
• We recommend that you avoid exposure to strong heat sources such as steam rooms and saunas during the days leading up to your laser treatment .
• As a precaution, pregnancy and/or breastfeeding contraindicate laser hair removal.
• Taking photosensitizing drugs may require changes to the settings of the machine. It is essential that you tell us about your history as well as your medical treatments, we will take care of setting up personalized care.
• Any wound, infection or skin lesion must be treated beforehand and should delay laser hair removal.

In addition, the day before your laser hair removal session, you must shave , and not epilate, the area to be treated.

We use the Lutronic Clarity II laser , the world reference in laser hair removal . Thanks to its double wavelength, we are able to treat all skin types and all skin tones. Dull and dark skin types benefit from the Nd Yag laser whose wavelength depth allows for optimal results . The Alexandrite laser will be used for light phototypes .

Two types of leg laser hair removal are offered at Skin Marceau:

• Laser hair removal on the lower legs consists of removing hair on the calves and shins, where the hair is dark and thick, which promotes optimal efficiency of the laser.
• Laser hair removal for entire legs includes thighs, knees, calves and shins. On the thighs and knees , the hairs are finer and lighter.

Following an initial examination, your dermatologist in Paris will configure the device according to your needs. Throughout your session, he can intervene at any time. A handpiece allows you to sweep the area to be depilated regularly. The duration of the session generally lasts about twenty minutes. A soothing cream is always applied at the end of the session.

Following your session and for a few days, avoid sources of heat and sun exposure. Applying a moisturizer to the legs helps speed up skin healing.

The first results begin to be visible a few days after your laser hair removal session. The hairs of the legs are refined and thinned out little by little. At the end of all your sessions, more than 90% of the targeted hairs are definitively eliminated and no longer grow back. For women, it requires about 6 to 8 sessions. As far as our male patients are concerned, it takes between 8 and 12 sessions since the density and thickness of the hair is greater.
