FAQ — Laser Hair Removal Questions

A standard series usually consists of 6 to 8 treatments. The intervals between the first visits are always shorter. After the first three sessions, the breaks become noticeably longer. The hair grows much slower, there is less of it, and the skin needs more time for the remaining dormant follicles to enter the active growth phase. In practice, this mostly means about 5–8 visits over a year, depending on the zone, individual body reaction, and the stage of the course.

Example intervals at the beginning of the series: face, bikini, underarms — 4–6 weeks; stomach, arms — 6–8 weeks; legs, back — 8–10 weeks.

What happens after the series? To maintain perfectly smooth skin for years, touch-up treatments are performed after the main course is completed. Typically, just one visit every year or every three years is enough, as the body may eventually activate isolated, previously dormant hair follicles over time.

Yes — laser hair removal at LASERRIX is completely safe for your health, provided there are no contraindications and the laser parameters are individually matched to your skin tone, hair structure, and treatment area. That's why, before your first visit in Wrocław, we carry out a detailed analysis of your skin, tan, current medications, and dermatological history — this allows us to select safe and effective settings on the medical-grade MeDioStar Monolith laser (Asclepion, Germany).

The medical laser beam acts strictly on the surface of the skin, penetrating only 1–4 millimeters deep — precisely where the hair follicle is located. The laser selectively targets melanin (the natural pigment) inside the hair root and destroys it thermally, without affecting tissue located any deeper. The light wave does not travel further into the body and has no effect whatsoever on internal organs, the hormonal system, or overall health — it is a fully localized, surface-level hair removal method, confirmed by the device's medical certifications.

Treated hair usually falls out of the skin within 7–21 days. The full effect builds up gradually over the whole course (usually 6–8 treatments).

Yes, shaving with a regular razor is completely fine. The only strict rule is: do not pull the hair out by the root. This means no waxing, sugaring, tweezing, or mechanical epilators during your course.

Here is how it works: our MeDioStar Monolith laser targets the melanin (pigment) inside the hair root. If you pluck the hair, the laser loses its target, and the treatment won't work. So, between your visits to LASERRIX, please stick to a standard razor only.

Yes, but it is best to avoid intense workouts, saunas, hot baths, and swimming pools for the first 24 hours after the session.

The skin needs a little time to calm down and recover after the laser treatment. Heavy sweating or contact with chlorinated water right after the session can easily cause irritation. After 24 hours, it is completely safe to return to your usual fitness routine.

We are 100% confident in the effectiveness of the German medical technology MeDioStar Monolith. If after 3 sessions on the same area you do not notice a visible difference in the amount, density, or growth speed of your hair — LASERRIX will refund the full cost of those 3 treatments.

This is a unique, risk-free guarantee for your investment in smooth skin that you won't find anywhere else in Wroclaw. All specific criteria, conditions, and medical exclusions (such as hormonal imbalances) are fully discussed during the initial free consultation.

The duration depends on the targeted area, but thanks to the MeDioStar Monolith technology and our unique, extra-large XL handpiece (10 cm²), treatments at LASERRIX are record-breakingly fast. Crucially, this time accounts for a thorough, high-quality treatment with precise overlapping pulses, ensuring a perfectly smooth result with no missed spots.

Small areas like underarms or Brazilian bikini take just 10–15 minutes, including prep. A full man's back is treated in an express time of just 10–15 minutes thanks to the XL handpiece. Laser removal for larger parts like full legs takes around 35–40 minutes, while our most popular full package (full legs + Brazilian bikini + underarms) takes only about 1 hour and 10 minutes.

No, it cannot. During the treatment, any tattoo is always carefully protected and bypassed. The laser beam targets dark pigment, so hitting a tattoo could damage the design, alter its color, and cause serious skin burns.

For men — yes. We most commonly treat the neck, beard line, and jaw area. For women, we do not perform facial treatments at the LASERRIX clinic. Fine, light, or hormone-dependent hair on a woman's face carries a high risk of stimulating paradoxical hair growth (the opposite effect). Prioritizing safety and proper results, we choose not to treat this area for women.
