Hair removal on the hands and feet is a common request among women looking to achieve clean, smooth skin without visible hair. Whether the hair is fine, thick, dark, or light, there are now effective and lasting solutions tailored to each situation.
At the Centre de Médecine Esthétique et Laser de Boulogne-Billancourt, near Paris, we combine medical laser hair removal technologies and electric hair removal to achieve precise and personalised results.
Why remove hair from the hands and feet?
Hair on the hands and feet can be a source of aesthetic discomfort, especially when it is visible, dark, or dense. Although often overlooked, these areas can benefit from a specific, quick, and minimally painful treatment.
What types of hair can be treated?
Hair removal from the hands and feet can address different types of hair:
- Dark and thick hair
- Fine and fluffy hair
- Hormonal hair
- Light or white hair
The choice between laser hair removal and electrolysis primarily depends on the colour, thickness, and density of the hair.
Laser or electric: which method for which type of hair?
Thick hair: laser, a quick and effective solution
The medical laser is the ideal method for treating dark and thick hair. Thanks to the state-of-the-art technology used at the Centre Esthétique Paris, the hair is targeted at the root by laser light, allowing for progressive destruction of the hair follicle. This treatment is quick, precise, and suitable for light to medium skin tones.
Fine or light hair: electric hair removal for maximum precision
For fine, blonde, or white hair, laser treatment is ineffective. Electric hair removal (or electrolysis) allows for the individual treatment of each follicle, facilitating gradual and lasting destruction of the hair follicle.
How many sessions are necessary?
On average, 6 to 8 laser sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart are required to significantly reduce hair growth. For electric hair removal, the number of sessions varies depending on the density and location of the hair. A preliminary consultation helps establish a personalised protocol.
