Are you tempted by permanent hair removal? Would you like to get rid of hair once and for all? To date, laser hair removal is the only effective, safe and painless way to achieve smooth, hair-free skin permanently.
No more waxing and depilatory cream on sensitive areas! This medical treatment offers women who want it appreciable comfort in their daily lives (work, swimming pool or beach, sports activities) by preventing the regrowth of unsightly hairs.
Lasers are a tried and tested technique in the field of medical aesthetics, particularly for permanent hair removal. The laser will emit a specific light (monochromatic, coherent, unidirectional), which will allow increased effectiveness on its target.
The main demand from women for laser hair removal concerns their hair growth on the bikini line, underarms and legs. Other areas can also be treated with permanent laser hair removal, such as the forearms, the linea alba (hairline between the navel and the pubis), the lower back, the buttocks and the mammary areolas.
In this case, for permanent hair removal, the target is the hair's melanin (the pigment that darkens the hair). So it's easy to understand that certain types of hair (white, blonde, redhead) won't be treatable. For a woman with fair skin, laser hair removal is entirely appropriate, but this is not the case for all skin types. For women with dark skin, for example, there is a laser hair removal treatment for dark skin specially designed to offer optimal results, without damaging the skin.
The Clinique esthétique de la Croix d'Or in Geneva also welcomes men for consultations and waxing sessions laser for men.

Patient demand is increasing significantly.
This treatment does not present any particular technical difficulties. It simply requires more time to treat a relatively large area of skin (between 30 and 60 minutes depending on whether the thighs are treated). The doctor will draw a grid pattern on your legs using a dermatological pencil in order to correctly treat all areas.
Session after session, hair growth is reduced and skin quality improves. Hair growth grows back very slowly and hair becomes finer and finer.
In this area potentially exposed to the sun, it will be necessary to ensure at each session that there is no tan, and thus the risk of heating the skin tanned by the laser.
This is a highly requested area and often associated in the treatment of laser hair removal of the armpits. In terms of bikini line shape, laser hair removal is done according to the patient's request. Our team is perfectly trained in the different possible shapes. This medical treatment is a very good indication in the case of ingrown hairs and pimples related to conventional hair removal.
The jerseys in brief:
The doctors at the Laser Center of the Croix d'Or Aesthetic Clinic in Geneva are here to listen to you and advise you from your very first session.
The doctor performs a clinical examination of the areas to be epilated to know and visualize their characteristics, and thus determine how to treat them.
Next, the doctor will make sure that the patient is comfortably seated, and will ensure that the skin is clean and without any cream or makeup on its surface.
The duration of the session may vary depending on the size and difficulty of the area to be treated, but never exceeds 90 minutes.
Several sessions are recommended (generally 5 to 7 sessions, at intervals of 30 days).
In all cases, treatment and follow-up are always personalized .
Laser treatment is very well tolerated. It should be noted that for some women and in certain areas (such as the bikini line for example), the doctor may suggest using an anesthetic cream to be applied 1 hour before the session on the treatment area.
Rest assured, most women do their treatment without anesthetic cream.
In some cases and in certain specific areas (often hormonal), a new small growth may appear. Maintenance sessions may then be necessary (1 per year before summer, for example).
The suites are very simple.
A slight redness may occur immediately after the procedure, which will be quickly calmed by a soothing cream. In rare cases, where the laser has been applied to tanned skin, superficial burns may be observed. Fortunately, these cases are rare and have no long-term aesthetic consequences.
