Well, you can, thanks to laser hair removal Antwerp. Thanks to Carpe Clinic’s medical laser hair removal, unwanted hair growth will soon be a thing of the past.
Laser hair removal Antwerp, what does it involve?
It is a cosmetic procedure used to remove unwanted body hair in a permanent or long-term manner. We use concentrated pulses of light, known as laser light, and target the hair follicles to damage them. This stops or slows the growth of new hairs. This is a very popular and effective method.
How it works.
Laser hair removal works on the basis of the process selective photothermolysis. During this process, concentrated laser light is directed at the hair follicles to damage them. But how exactly does this work?
It all starts with the principle of selective photothermolysis. The laser equipment emits an intense concentrated pulse of light, a laser beam of a specific wavelength. The wavelength is chosen so that the light is absorbed by the melanin pigment (gives the hair color) in the hair shaft and follicle.
The melanin in the hair follicles absorbs the laser light. Thus, light is converted into heat.
The absorbed heat rises rapidly and heats the hair follicles, structurally damaging them. Thus, the ability to produce new hair is disrupted. The goal of laser treatment is to damage the hair follicles so much that they are no longer able to support hair growth.
After the treatment, it may take some time before you see results, as there is slowing of hair growth. During one session, not all hair follicles are destroyed because hair follicles are in different stages of growth. Therefore, it is necessary to repeat sessions to treat all hair follicles in the growth phase.
Permanent results cannot always be guaranteed, but laser hair removal can lead to long-term or even permanent reduction of hair growth. Does some hair still grow back after treatment? Then this is mostly thinner and lighter in color.
Success factors laser hair removal Antwerp
Whether laser hair removal is successful depends on a number of different factors. Consider the type of laser used, the person’s skin type and hair color, the density of the hair and the experience of the specialist performing the treatment. Thanks to our years of experience, at Carpe happy you are always guaranteed a good result.

Frequently asked questions about medical laser hair removal
Anyone can come to us for laser hair removal: men and women of any age, as well as all different skin tones. Only very light and gray hairs we unfortunately cannot treat.
We recommend being careful the day of the hair removal itself up to 2 days after the treatment. Also, be sure to use a high sunscreen when you go outside.
Our hair always grows in different phases. The anagenic phase or growth phase, the catagenic phase or transition phase, the telogen phase or resting phase and finally the exogenous phase or failure phase. Since not every hair is at the same stage, multiple sessions are required. This is the only way we can be sure to address almost 80% of the hairs. It usually involves – for an area with normal hair growth – 6 to 8 treatments.
Definitely! Our laser can be adjusted to any skin tone for efficient and long-lasting results.
Difficult. Because the laser reacts to melanin (color) in the hair, a certain amount of pigment must be present. Blonde hair contains little to no melanin and will not react as well, white and gray do not react at all.
Most people do not experience laser hair removal as unpleasant. However, the underarms or intimate area may feel a little more sensitive after the treatment.
The ideal laser length is a few millimeters. If you shave the area to be treated last two days in advance, your hairs will always have the optimal length.
Unfortunately, this is not possible. A tattoo contains a lot of pigment to which the laser can react. If you still want this area to be depilated, then we will have to avoid the tattoo as much as possible.
No harm done, though this zone can be a bit more sensitive.
From 6 treatments onwards, a package price is provided.
