Laser Hair Removal
at TEO

The majority of treatments marketed as "laser hair removal" in Turkey are performed not with genuine medical lasers but with broad-band light devices known as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). IPL is not a laser — it is a diffuse-spectrum light source whose ability to focus on the hair follicle falls far short of a true laser. TEO Beauty Centre has worked exclusively with FDA- and CE-approved genuine medical laser platforms from its very first day: 755 nm Alexandrite (for light-to-medium skin tones and fine-to-medium hair) and 810/1064 nm Diode (for medium-to-dark skin tones and coarse hair). Our ability to combine both wavelengths within a single session according to your skin type is the fundamental reason why results are achieved so quickly and permanently.

How long laser hair removal will take to clear your hair depends less on the device and more on the hair growth cycle. Each follicle passes through anagen (active growth), catagen (transition) and telogen (resting) phases, and laser energy can only affect hair that is in the anagen phase. On average, 20–25% of follicles on the body are in the anagen phase at any one time — which is why sessions are spaced 4–6 weeks apart and why 8–10 sessions achieve a permanent reduction of 85–95%. For guests whose hair may be reactivated by hormonal causes (PCOS, thyroid conditions, post-pregnancy), we recommend one maintenance session per year. Our salon accompanies you throughout this entire journey with digital session tracking and photo-comparison reports.

Pain is the most frequently cited concern among guests hesitant about laser hair removal. With older-generation devices, this was a perfectly justified worry; however, today's Diode Titanium and GentleMax Pro platforms feature integrated cryogenic or contact cooling heads that lower the skin surface to as low as -5°C, almost completely blocking nerve endings at the moment of each pulse. The vast majority of our guests describe the sensation as a rubber band snapping against a finger. The first session is generally the most intense; as hair diminishes over subsequent sessions, discomfort naturally decreases as well.
