What to Expect After Your First Laser Hair Removal Session?

A 5-Year Experienced Specialist Answers – Featuring the DEKA Motus (Movéo) Laser

The most common question we hear is: "What kind of results can I expect after my very first laser hair removal treatment?"

This is a totally fair question. We all want to see results right now, and I have great news: you absolutely will see a noticeable effect after the first session!

Thanks to the high power and unique efficiency of our innovative DEKA Motus (Movéo) laser, you will witness the treated hairs begin to shed, and their total quantity will significantly decrease. However, for results that are stable, long-lasting, and maximum, it is crucial to remember: laser hair removal always requires a course of treatments. We guarantee your journey to smooth skin will be maximally comfortable!

1. What Happens Immediately After the Session?

After our DEKA Motus laser completes the work, the hairs in the treated area will remain in place. This is completely normal!

• The Principle: The laser beam, absorbed by the melanin pigment in the hair, converts into heat energy. This energy heats and destroys the hair's growth zone (the follicle), which is responsible for nourishing and growing the hair. We effectively destroy the "construction site," but the hair shaft itself still needs to fall out.

2. When Will I See the Expected Shedding?

The hair shaft, having lost its nutrient supply, begins to "die" and is gradually pushed out of the skin. This process takes time.

• Timeline: On average, shedding begins 10 to 20 days after your procedure.
• What it looks like: You might notice the hair seems to be "growing" again, but with light pressure or friction (like using a washcloth), it will start to shed effortlessly. This isn't new growth; it is the process of the treated, dead hair being "ejected."

Your First Result: After the initial session, you can expect to lose approximately 30% to 50% of your active hair. This percentage applies only to the hairs that were in the active growth phase (Anagen) at the moment of laser treatment.

3. Why Not 100%? Understanding the Hair Growth Cycle

The secret lies in the natural hair growth cycle, which has three phases:

1. Anagen (Active Growth): The laser "sees" and effectively destroys hairs only in this phase, as it has the highest concentration of melanin.
2. Catagen (Transition Phase): The stage where the hair bulb prepares for "rest."
3. Telogen (Resting Phase): The follicle is "asleep," and the hair is already shed or about to shed. The laser cannot affect hairs in this dormant stage.

Since your body always has "sleeping" hairs that will wake up later, achieving full hair removal requires a series of treatments. Each subsequent session "catches" the portion of hair that has moved into the active growth phase.

4. The Advantage of the DEKA Motus (Movéo) Laser

We chose the DEKA Motus (with Movéo technology) because it ensures maximum efficiency and comfort right from the very first treatment. It is an Alexandrite laser – the "gold standard" in the world of hair removal – but perfected with unique technology:

• Movéo (In Motion): Unlike traditional Alexandrite lasers that work with painful, single pulses, Movéo allows the treatment to be performed in a continuous, fast motion. This ensures uniform follicle heating and significantly increases the treatment speed (an underarm area takes only a few minutes!).
• Comfort and Safety: The device's handpiece features a powerful contact cooling system. It cools the skin before, during, and after every pulse. This makes the procedure maximally comfortable and virtually painless, eliminating the risk of overheating or burns.

Conclusion: The Start of Your Smoothness Journey

The first procedure is the most crucial step. It destroys the most mature and active hairs, and you are guaranteed to experience:

• A significant reduction in hair quantity (30–50%).
• Regrowing hair will be noticeably finer and lighter.
• A reduction in irritation and ingrown hairs if you experienced them before.

Remember, laser hair removal is a journey, but your first session with the DEKA Motus will already show you how effective and pleasant the process of permanent hair reduction can be. I look forward to seeing you at our center to discuss your individual treatment plan and give you the smoothness you've always wanted!
