Laser Hair Removal (Lumenis)

Laser hair removal at Arte Clinic uses a high-energy Lumenis laser that converts light to heat in the hair follicle, disabling it during the active growth phase. All face and body areas are priced individually — from 300 Kč between the eyebrows to 4,800 Kč for thighs or a full back — with a course of 5–8 sessions at 4–7 week intervals required to catch every follicle's growth cycle. Performed in a medical clinic setting.

Laser epilation works by selective photothermolysis: laser light is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft and follicle, converting to heat that disables the follicle's regenerative cells. Only follicles in the active (anagen) growth phase are vulnerable at any session — roughly a fifth to a third of hairs at a time — which is why a course of typically 5–8 sessions spaced 4–7 weeks apart is needed for comprehensive, long-term reduction. Arte Clinic uses a high-energy Lumenis laser platform, operated by trained staff within a plastic surgery clinic — relevant for safe energy settings across different skin types and for handling sensitive areas. Treatable zones span the entire face and body: upper lip, chin, sideburns, cheeks, neck, underarms, arms, chest, areolas, abdomen, shoulders, bikini line, Brazilian, buttocks, calves, thighs, and the full back, each priced per session. Preparation matters for both comfort and effect: hair should be trimmed to about 1 mm (not plucked or waxed for four weeks before, since the follicle must contain the hair shaft), sun and tanning are avoided ahead of sessions, and creams are removed from the area. Contraindications include pregnancy, epilepsy, photosensitising medication, active skin inflammation, and certain hormonal disorders — screened before treatment. After each session the skin may be briefly pink; sun protection follows. Hair regrowth becomes progressively finer and sparser across the course, with occasional maintenance sessions afterwards.
