In areas such as the armpits, groin, and legs, the success rate is 85% for hair clearance, achieved in approximately 3 to 4 sessions. Moreover, the hormones have quite an impact on the success rate. The procedure of laser hair removal is as follows:
Step 1: Consultation
At Diamond Clinics, we start the process with an initial consultation, where we help you move forward with the procedure by understanding your requirements. In this phase, we answer all your doubts and misconceptions related to the procedures.

Step 3: Procedure
The treatment proceeds with cleaning the area, applying a cooling protectant to it, and wearing protective eyewear.
- Start with targeting the Melanin
The laser hair removal service in Spain starts with emitting a concentrated light beam that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair shaft. Further, there is a selective targeting ensuring that the laser focuses on eliminating hair without damaging the skin around it.
- Intense heat generation
Once the laser light is absorbed by the melanin, the energy converts into heat, and it
travels down the length, directing the thermal energy deep into the follicle. Once the melanin absorbs light, the risk of damaging the surroundings is highly reduced.
- Eliminate hair follicles
Targeting and damaging the follicle structures disrupts the follicle’s ability to regrow. Hair that is in the active growth phase is the only hair that will be effectively destroyed, leading to multiple treatment sessions for effective results. Moreover, the repeated treatments help in decreasing the active follicles significantly, helping with finer, lighter, and fewer hairs removed.

Who can have laser hair removal?
Having a laser hair removal service in Spain has various factors contributing to the treatment, making it a real task for determining who is eligible and who isn’t. Before we dive into the list, let us weigh in on factors affecting treatment for all skin types:
Hair colour
Dark brown and black hair responds the best to laser treatment for hair removal, as the high melanin content makes it easier for this treatment to work. However, the blonde, red, grey, white, or bleached hair absorbs comparatively lesser laser energy, making results less effective, and requires more sessions in time.
Hair thickness
The coarse & thick hairs easily absorb more energy and react better to the treatment for hair removal, whereas the fine or vellus hairs may be resistant and need more sessions.
Skin colour
The best combination is lighter skin and darker hair for laser treatment. Darker skin tones need different treatments from those of the lighter ones. Avoid burns or pigmentation issues for darker skin.
Growth cycle
Different growth cycles need a different number of sessions. Make sure not to skip the initial consultation and get the real conversation about laser hair removal treatment.
Skin’s sensitivity
Sensitive and damaged skin affects the treatment more than anything. Drugs and medications make your skin more sensitive and vulnerable.
