Laser hair removal: how it works and what to expect

Glowfy · Bergen op Zoom · 2026-07-09

Done with shaving, waxing and epilating? Laser hair removal is a safe, effective way to reduce unwanted hair growth long term. Here is how it works.

How does laser hair removal work?

The laser targets the pigment in the hair root. The light energy converts into heat, which disables the hair root without damaging the surrounding skin. Because hairs are in different growth phases, several sessions are needed for the best result.

How many sessions do you need?

On average six to twelve sessions are needed, spread over several weeks. After that, a yearly maintenance session is often enough. At Glowfy we offer single sessions and good-value packages, from specific zones to full body.

Which areas can be treated?

Almost anywhere: legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, face, upper lip and more. During the intake we discuss your skin and hair type and which approach suits you best.
