Laser Hair Removal (MeDioStar Monolith)

Diode laser hair removal with the MeDioStar Monolith, which targets the pigment in the hair follicle to reduce regrowth over a course of sessions. The device uses contact cooling for comfort and suits a range of areas from the upper lip to the full legs. Single areas and discounted multi-area combinations are available, with most people needing several sessions spaced weeks apart for a lasting reduction.

Laser hair removal with the MeDioStar Monolith uses a diode laser whose energy is absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair shaft and follicle. The heat generated is associated with damage to the follicle's ability to regrow hair, gradually reducing both the density and thickness of hair in the treated area over a course of sessions. Built-in contact cooling protects the skin surface and makes treatment more comfortable than many older systems. At Dr Kopaczyński the area is shaved and cleansed before treatment, and you wear protective eyewear while the handpiece glides over the skin delivering pulses with a cool sensation. Session length depends on the area — a few minutes for the upper lip up to longer for the full legs. Because hair grows in cycles and the laser only affects follicles in their active phase, a course of several sessions spaced a number of weeks apart is needed, after which occasional maintenance keeps results topped up. There is little downtime beyond possible mild redness or a warm feeling that settles quickly; sun protection before and after is important and recent tanning is a contraindication. The clinic prices single areas as well as discounted multi-area packages, including a flexible any-five-areas option. Suitability depends on hair and skin type, which is assessed before starting.
