Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal works because melanin in the hair shaft absorbs the laser light and turns it into heat, which damages the follicle that produces the hair. Only follicles in their active growth phase respond, and at any moment that is a minority of them — which is why a course of six to eight sessions, spaced four to six weeks apart, is needed rather than one visit. Skin tone determines the wavelength and settings; darker skin is treated safely with the right device. Grey and very fine blonde hair does not respond.

Why patients choose Istanbul

Turkey combines high surgical volume with lower running costs, which is why the same materials and devices used in Western Europe cost a fraction here. Swedish Clinic works inside a licensed full-fledged hospital under a Health Tourism Authorisation Certificate, holds Temos international accreditation and runs an ISO 9001 (UKAS) certified management system — the three things worth checking before you book anywhere abroad.

One year on and nobody can tell. The hairline they designed suits my face — it does not look transplanted.

I wanted my nose softened, not replaced. The surgeon showed me the simulation and the result is exactly that.

Fourteen months on and I am 38 kilos lighter. The dietitian called me every single month — that made the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Laser Hair Removal

It gives permanent reduction rather than total removal. After a full course most areas keep only sparse, fine hair, and a maintenance session once or twice a year holds the result.

Six to eight for most areas, four to six weeks apart, because only hairs in the active growth phase can be treated at any one visit. Hormonal areas such as the face often need more.

Yes, with the correct device and settings — longer wavelengths target the follicle rather than the surrounding skin. What does not respond is grey or very fine blonde hair, whatever the skin tone.

No sun or self-tan for two weeks before, and no waxing or plucking for four weeks, since the root has to be in place. Afterwards, keep away from heat, saunas and direct sun on the area for a couple of days and use sunscreen.
