The back with laser, with or without the shoulders.
Back hair is often dark and coarse: this is the type of hair on which laser gives its best results. I work with the Leaseir MHR diode laser, which I adjust at every session to your skin and hair type. A tip: start while your hair is still dark.
Upper back, lower back or full back
- Upper back or lower back, separately.
- Full back, shoulders not included.
- Shoulders, on their own or with the back.
The back can be combined with the shoulders, the nape, the upper arms or the chest in the same session. I treat every area for men, except intimate areas.
Price per session
You pay session by session, with no subscription. You can add or remove an area along the way.
With other areas, in the same session
Combinations group together areas treated in the same session. They cost less because the session is more efficient, not because they are on offer.
Prices include VAT
What to expect
And electrolysis?
On the back, laser does most of the work. If a few white hairs remain, we can deal with them using electrolysis. If most of your hair is already white, I will tell you honestly before we start.
Usually 6 to 10 sessions
This is a guide: the number depends on your hair, your skin and your hormones. I refine it for you at the information session (first consultation).
Every 6 to 8 weeks
Most often every 8 weeks at first. The intervals then lengthen as the hair becomes sparser. To keep the result, I recommend one or two maintenance sessions a year.
A brief warmth
You feel it with each pulse, softened by the tip cooled to around 0 °C. On the back, the first sessions are more intense, then the sensation lessens as the hair becomes sparser. We take all the time needed, with breaks if necessary.
Around 80% less hair
In general, by the end of treatment. The treated hairs fall out 10 to 15 days after each session; those that remain are finer and lighter.
Preparing the area
4 weeks without waxing or tweezing
Stop waxing, tweezing and using an epilator 4 weeks before the first session, and throughout the treatment: the laser needs the hair to be in its bulb.
Shaved the day before or two days before
Ideally, shave your back the day before or two days before the session. If that is not possible, I will take care of it.
Untanned skin
Your skin must not be tanned at the time of the session. How long to wait depends on your skin type; I will tell you at the information session.
Aftercare
No sun for 4 to 5 days
Keep the area out of the sun for 4 to 5 days after the session, then protect it with SPF 50.
No exercise for 2 to 3 days
Also avoid saunas and swimming pools.
Let the hairs fall out
Do not pull on the treated hairs: they fall out on their own within 10 to 15 days. From the fourth day, a gentle scrub helps them come away.
Do I need to shave my back myself?
Ideally, yes: the day before or two days before the session. If that is not possible, I will take care of it.
Does it hurt?
You feel a brief warmth with each pulse. On the back, the first sessions are more intense, then the sensation lessens as the hair becomes sparser. We take all the time needed, with breaks if necessary.
My back hair is starting to turn grey. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. The laser will treat the hairs that are still dark. If a few white hairs remain, we can deal with them using electrolysis. But if most of it is already white, I will tell you honestly.
How many sessions for the back?
Usually 6 to 10, every 6 to 8 weeks at first, then further and further apart. This is a guide, which I refine for you at the information session.
Can I exercise afterwards?
Avoid exercise for 2 to 3 days, as well as saunas and swimming pools. Also keep the area out of the sun for 4 to 5 days.
