SAFE AND EFFECTIVE METHODS
The first experimental laser was designed in the 1960s and it is only at the end of the 1990s that the laser became widely traded as a permanent hair removal solution. Thanks to technological progress, laser hair removal methods have evolved tremendously. With more than 20 years of hindsight, their efficiency and safety are broadly acknowledged by scientists.
At CLINIK, we chose to use the latest generation of equipment which has been specifically designed for laser hair removal. They require a substantial financial investment but they are globally recognized for their reliability and effectiveness. The laser used for lighter skin types is the only market technology to be able to obtain results as of 5 sessions. The laser used for darker skin types obtains results as of 7 sessions.

Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal derives from the principle of photoepilation, which directs light on the hair bulb in order to heat and destroy it. The laser produces a single wavelength, it is therefore extremely precise and outperforms other hair removal methods, for all types of hair.
While laser hair removal has demonstrated its effectiveness over the last 25 years, its use should not be trivialized since it requires solid medical knowledge.
Electrolysis Hair Removal
This hair removal technique consists in sending an electric current in the root of each hair in order to prevent regrowth. This method requires the treatment of each hair one by one and is therefore longer and more invasive than laser.
It is also more painful and often followed by the appearance of scabs which can last several days. This hair removal method is more appropriate for small areas as it only allows to treat small areas at a time.
Pulsed Light Hair Removal
Pulsed light (also called flash lamps or IPL) is not a laser. It is a technology of light flashes. Its light spectrum is larger and therefore less precise than laser.
Some low-powered machines which require little investment are often used by beauty practitioners and salons. In most cases, pulsed light only weakens the germ cell.
