Laser hair removal
Zenon Clinic offers laser hair removal in Budapest with Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers and MOVEO technology. Explore the treatment areas, the consultation process and practical information about a course of treatments.
Alexandrite and Nd:YAG laser technology
The DEKA Again platform combines two laser wavelengths: 755 nm Alexandrite and 1064 nm Nd:YAG. Different handpieces and settings support treatment planning. The specialist selects the appropriate approach following an individual assessment.
Alexandrite laser and the MOVEO handpiece
Alexandrite is one of the laser sources in the DEKA Again platform. MOVEO is the manufacturer’s handpiece technology, developed with treatment comfort among its aims. The technology alone does not guarantee identical results or a completely pain-free experience.
Nd:YAG laser in the treatment plan
Nd:YAG is the platform’s other laser source, operating at 1064 nm. The specialist decides whether Alexandrite or Nd:YAG is appropriate and selects the settings based on the treatment area and the characteristics of the skin and hair.
Treatment areas and individual suitability
Hair removal may be considered for areas such as the face, arms, back, legs, underarms and intimate areas. The exact area, individual suitability and expected results require a separate discussion. The intimate hair removal page covers considerations specific to that area.
Comfort during laser hair removal
Comfort and skin reactions vary between individuals. Even with cooling technology, treatment cannot be promised to be completely pain-free or risk-free. Expected sensations and possible side effects should be discussed beforehand.
Consultation and an individual treatment plan
Treatment is preceded by an in-person assessment and a discussion of the available options. The consultation focuses on the intended treatment area, individual questions and next steps.
The laser hair removal consultation page explains the in-person and online options and how to arrange an appointment. The clinic can confirm current availability and conditions.
Procedure
Treatment timing, preparation and aftercare require individual guidance. Recent sun exposure or tanning should be discussed during the consultation; sunscreen alone does not replace an assessment of suitability.
- First you need to have a personal consultation where the affected area will be examined and a professional will specify your skin and hair type. The options of implementation are going to be discussed and your individual treatment plan will be prepared.
- First, your specialist cleans the selected area and covers moles, birthmarks and tattoos if needed.
- You will be given protective eyewear, which you must wear throughout the treatment.
- The treatment area will be marked with a pencil depending on the attached handpiece. In case of using the MOVEO technology ultrasound gel will also be applied on the area.
- The procedure might take 20 minutes or a bit more than an hour, depending on the size and the number of the area to be treated. During the process you can feel a slight sensation of prickling and warmth.
- After treatment, your specialist will explain the aftercare instructions in detail.
