What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a treatment that uses concentrated light energy to selectively heat and disable hair follicles. The pigment in the hairs absorbs the laser energy, damaging the hair root and significantly reducing future hair growth.
Because hair is in different growth phases, multiple treatments are necessary to achieve an optimal result. After each session, hair density decreases further, and the remaining hairs become thinner and lighter.
Laser hair removal can be applied to virtually all body areas and offers a comfortable alternative to temporary hair removal methods.

The treatment process
Consultation
During a first appointment, we analyze your skin type, hair color, and hair density to create a customized treatment plan.
Preparation
We ask you to shave the area to be treated shortly before the treatment, preferably just before your appointment. Avoid exposing the skin to be treated to the sun for at least one week before the treatment and do not use self-tanner.
Before your treatment, the skin is cleansed and the treatment area is prepared for a safe and efficient treatment.
Laser treatment
Using advanced laser equipment, the hair follicles are treated in a targeted manner without damaging the surrounding skin. Please note: tattoos in the area to be treated cannot be lasered and will be avoided during the treatment.
Succession
After the first treatment, you will receive detailed information regarding aftercare and the activities you may and may not perform during the recovery period. A follow-up treatment can take place after 4 to 6 weeks. During the first week after the treatment, you must avoid sun exposure. Between treatments, you may only shave the hair; waxing, epilating, or sugaring is not permitted.
Result
After multiple treatments, hair growth is significantly reduced and the skin remains smooth for a long time.
Which zones can be treated?
Laser hair removal can be applied to virtually all areas where unwanted hair growth is present. If desired, multiple areas can be treated during the same session.
Face
Upper lip, chin, cheeks, neck and other facial zones.
Armpits
One of the most popular treatments for a long-lasting smooth result.
Legs
Suitable for both lower legs and full legs.
Back, chest and abdomen
Popular zones for both men and women.
A treatment tailored to your skin and hair type
Every skin and every type of hair growth is unique. Therefore, every treatment is tailored to your personal situation and expectations.
Modern laser technology makes it possible to work in a targeted manner, with attention to comfort, safety, and results. During the process, we evaluate progress and adjust the treatment plan if necessary.
At o2 Clinic, we strive for a professional approach where quality, safety, and personal guidance are central.
Recovery & Aftercare
After laser treatment, the skin may temporarily feel slightly red or warm. This reaction is normal and usually disappears within a few hours.
To allow the skin to recover optimally, we recommend protecting the treated area from direct sunlight for a few days and avoiding harsh skin products.
Between the various sessions, treated hairs gradually fall out. Because not all hairs are in the same growth phase simultaneously, multiple treatments are necessary for an optimal end result.
Throughout the entire process, we guide you with personal advice to ensure the treatment proceeds safely and the results are maximally supported.
