Laser Hair Removal (Facial — Fotona)

Laser hair removal using the clinic's Fotona laser to reduce unwanted facial hair on the upper lip, chin, cheeks and nape. The laser targets pigment in the hair follicle to gradually reduce regrowth over a course of sessions. Single small areas or a combined upper-lip, chin and cheek package are available. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart is needed for a lasting result.

Laser hair removal works by directing laser light at the pigment in the hair, where the energy is absorbed and converted to heat that damages the follicle and is associated with reduced regrowth over time. At Beata Pawelec Medycyna Estetyczna facial hair removal is performed with a Fotona laser on areas such as the upper lip, chin, cheeks and nape, either singly or as a combined upper-lip, chin and cheek treatment. Each small-area session is quick — often only ten to twenty minutes — and most people tolerate the sensation, sometimes described as a brief warm snap, well; cooling and appropriate settings support comfort. Because hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective on actively growing hairs, a course of several sessions spaced roughly four to six weeks apart is needed to achieve a meaningful, lasting reduction, with occasional maintenance afterwards. Results vary with hair colour and thickness, and lighter or very fine hair generally responds less well; the physician advises on likely outcomes at consultation. Sun avoidance and SPF before and after treatment are important to reduce the risk of pigment changes, and the treatment is avoided over active infection, certain medications and in pregnancy. Suitability and a realistic plan are discussed before starting.
