Disturbing body hair is common and experienced by many as unwanted or uncomfortable. This can affect various parts of the body, such as the face, back, chest, abdomen, legs, or arms. Everyone experiences this in their own way. Fortunately, there are effective treatments, such as laser hair removal and electrical epilation, to reduce unwanted hair growth.
Hair growth is largely genetically determined but can also be influenced by hormonal fluctuations. In women, excessive hair growth, such as on the face or abdomen, may be the result of hormonal imbalance, for example, due to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or menopause. In men, genetic predisposition can cause intensive hair growth on, for example, the back or shoulders.
Medical treatments, such as some medications, can also cause excessive hair growth as a side effect. Stress, lifestyle, and diet may also play a role in hair growth and density to a lesser extent.

For laser hair removal, 6-8 sessions are usually needed to reduce hair growth in the long term, because only hairs in the active growth phase are addressed. For electrical epilation, the treatments may take longer, especially for larger areas, because each hair follicle is treated individually. For both methods, you need multiple treatments for optimal results.
Laser hair removal often gives a slightly tingling sensation, like an elastic band against the skin. Electrical epilation can give a more intense tingling or burning sensation, especially in sensitive areas. Both treatments offer the possibility of anesthesia if necessary, especially for people with fair skin who are sensitive to sun damage.
Laser hair removal can cause temporary redness and irritation, and electrical epilation can cause slight swelling and sometimes small scabs. With both treatments, it is important to follow aftercare instructions and protect yourself well from the sun.
Laser hair removal is ideal for those who want quick results on larger, dark hair areas. Electrical epilation is suitable for permanently removing light, thin, or gray hairs and can be a good choice for sensitive and small zones. During a no-obligation consultation with one of our skin therapists, you can discuss which method is best for you.
