Laser Hair Removal

Absolutely. The Nd Yag laser is adapted to dark to black skin, removing hair from skins with high levels of melanin efficiently and without burning.

6 to 10 sessions will eradicate up to 98% of hairs. The result must be maintained at an average of one session per year. This is why we call laser hair removal "sustainable."

Our latest generation laser is equipped with a cooling system to soothe the area treated by the laser, making the session as comfortable as possible. However, some tingling may be felt depending on each individual.

Prices vary according to the areas to be treated and start at 50 euros per session. However, we advise you to purchase a package as results are best appreciated after a laser hair removal protocol and not after a single session.

Yes, laser hair removal works on all phototypes! However, blond to white hair cannot be treated by laser. In this case, we recommend electric hair removal.

Each varies according to the number and size of the areas to be treated. On average, it takes 10 minutes for a small space and 30 minutes for a larger area.

A minimum of 6 sessions are necessary for long-lasting hair removal, spaced 4 to 12 weeks apart, depending on the amount of regrowth between sessions. If necessary, a few maintenance sessions or electric hair removal can eradicate any remaining hair.

With each session, there are fewer and fewer hairs they also become finer and lighter. Regrowth is slower with each session so you can gradually increase the time between sessions. The result is smooth, soft, hair-free skin.

Do not use tweezers, wax, or electrolysis at least six weeks before the session!

One to two days before the session, shave the area that will be lasered and avoid applying creams, oils, and deodorants.

15 days before the session, do not apply essential oils.

Do not apply self-tanner 1 month before the session.

Do not take Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or other photosensitizers one week before the session.

Tanning is not a problem for laser hair removal, but you must stop exposure two weeks before the session!

If necessary, Japanese toilets are available to refresh yourself!

An anesthetic cream can be prescribed and applied at home before the session.

A soothing cream will be prescribed within 72 hours to soothe the skin.

Redness may appear, but it will disappear naturally within the following hours.

Avoid hot tubs, spas, and saunas for 48 hours.

Apply sunscreen for 2 weeks.

You will notice hairs growing, which are follicles about to fall out by themselves, not necessarily all at once, 3 to 5 days following the session. This phase can last up to 3 weeks.

In most cases, laser hair removal offers excellent results, with 80 to 98% of treated hair not growing back! Another solution for the remaining 5 to 10% of patients with hair that resists laser treatment is electric hair removal, which eradicates duvet and very fine hair!

Laser hair removal destroys up to 98% of the hair in the treated area. The remaining hair is finer, lighter, and looks like duvet hair. If this fuzz bothers you and you wish to eliminate it, a few sessions of electric hair removal should do the job—the darker and thicker the hair, the better the result. Depending on your phototype and hair color, the laserist adapts the device’s settings to optimize the results. The mode is determined according to the standard Fitzpatrick classification which classifies patients according to their skin reaction to sun exposure.

Alexandrite for light to dark skin

Adapted to light skin, the Alexandrite laser beams are absorbed by the hair's melanin and destroyed by heat. The Alexandrite laser setting means each hair is treated differently according to texture, density, color, and depth. It’s perfectly adapted to all parts of the body and face.

Its indications:

Facial and body hair removal

Removal of ingrown hairs

Nd Yag for dark to black skin

This laser can be used on dark to black skin, thanks to a wavelength of 1064nm, which absorbs the melanin in the hair, not the skin, and penetrates deeper into the epidermis. This technology makes it possible to perform laser hair removal on dark skin without burning it. In addition to hair, Nd Yag can treat vascular lesions.

Its indications:

Facial and body hair removal on dark skin

Removal of ingrown hairs on dark skin

Treats spider veins

Treats telangiectasia

At Maison Lutétia Paris, our new laser eliminates hair gently and effectively. Here are its characteristics:

Higher pulse energy and power than the average laser for fast and effective treatment.

A modular handpiece with many sizes can treat small and large areas without losing efficiency.

Thus, treatment is 45% faster than other hair removal lasers. It’s possible to treat entire legs and the "strawberry skin" effect (link), those little blackheads that leave traces under the skin when they grow back.

Equipped with Intelligent Tracking, our laser adapts its blasts for even coverage, according to the practitioner's hand speed. Result: no hair goes untreated!

Equipped with a cooling system called cryo-spray or zimmer, the laser reduces the tingling sensation as the practitioner scans the skin, sending soothing cold currents for a more comfortable session.

Our laser treats tanned skin, which means you can undergo a permanent hair removal protocol in summer and winter!

 Hair removal and Intense Pulsed Light are similar: both treatments target melanin in the hair follicle to stop the hair growth process through heat.

What makes them different? The type of light! For laser hair removal, the light is monochromatic, which means it uses a single wavelength. Pulsed light is a polychromatic light that uses several wavelengths.

In terms of effectiveness, monochromatic light is more precise than pulsed light. The latter can even be ineffective in some instances. There’s also a risk of burning with pulsed light, unlike laser, whose technology guarantees a safe, less painful, and more practical experience in the long run. Pulsed light does not allow the temperature to rise significantly, meaning that the hair follicle will not be destroyed, so the results require more maintenance than laser hair removal.
