Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal at Estetické centrum Komfort in Jihlava uses a multi-platform system — GentleLASE PRO, GentleYAG and IPL (Ellipse, Nordlys, Multiflex) — to permanently reduce hair on any body area. Four to five sessions are recommended, spaced 5–8 weeks apart, to target all hair follicles in their active growth phase. The treatments cover the upper lip, chin, armpits, bikini line, legs, back, chest and arms. As an Asklepion partner, ECK offers a 4+1 package (20% discount) and follows strict post-treatment sun avoidance protocols.

Laser hair removal at Asklepion – Estetické centrum Komfort uses one of the most comprehensive multi-platform laser lineups found in Jihlava: the Candela GentleLASE PRO (755 nm alexandrite, for lighter skin types), the GentleYAG (1064 nm Nd:YAG, for darker skin and tanned skin), and the IPL systems from Ellipse (Multiflex, Nordlys), which are versatile for hair removal on Fitzpatrick skin types I–V. How it works: The laser or IPL emits a pulse of light absorbed selectively by the melanin in the hair shaft and follicle. The heat generated travels down the shaft to the follicle bulge and bulb, disabling the follicle's ability to produce new hair without damaging the surrounding skin. Because only follicles in the active growth phase (anagen) are susceptible, multiple sessions are needed to capture each follicle at the right time. Number of sessions and spacing: 4–5 sessions are typically required for permanent 80–90% reduction. Sessions must be spaced 5–8 weeks apart on the face and 8–12 weeks on the body, to match the hair growth cycles of each area. The clinic's 4+1 package — four sessions purchased, one session free, with a 20% discount on the standard rate — makes a full course cost-effective. Pre-treatment: Patients must shave the area to be treated 24 hours before the session. Waxing, threading and epilating must be stopped 5–8 weeks before starting the programme, as these remove the hair shaft that the laser targets. Fake tan and excessive sun exposure must be avoided for 4 weeks prior. Areas treated at ECK: Upper lip, chin, sideburns, cheeks, forehead, armpits, bikini (standard and full Brazilian), buttocks, legs (upper, lower, or full), back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, arms and hands. During the session: The skin is cooled with a cryo-spray (GentleLASE/YAG systems have integrated Dynamic Cooling Device) to protect the epidermis and increase comfort. The physician or trained therapist moves the handpiece systematically across the treatment zone. Sessions take 10–60 minutes depending on the area. Post-treatment: Mild redness and follicular swelling (perifollicular oedema) for 1–24 hours are normal. Sun exposure must be avoided for 4 weeks post-treatment; SPF 50+ must be applied daily. Deodorant should be avoided for 24–48 hours after axillary treatments. Contraindications: Isotretinoin use within the past 6 months, recent tan or sun exposure, very pale or white hair (contains insufficient melanin), and some photosensitising medications.
