FAQ & Tips

Everyone’s skin and body hair are unique. We carry out a personalised assessment to determine the solution best suited to your needs: laser hair removal or electrolysis.

Laser hair removal effectively treats larger areas by targeting pigmented hairs. Electrolysis offers a highly precise solution for treating small areas and all hair types, including blonde, red, white or fine hair, as well as so-called hormone-dependent areas (the face and nipples) or areas where laser treatment cannot be carried out, such as certain tattooed areas.

Each method is chosen based on your individual profile to ensure you receive the most suitable treatment.

For laser hair removal, a course of treatment typically comprises between 5 and 8 sessions, depending on the area being treated, skin type, hair density and the individual’s response to the treatment.
For electrolysis, the number of sessions varies depending on the area to be treated, and the amount and type of hair. A personalised assessment is carried out to determine the course of treatment best suited to your needs and goals.

Yes. Our treatments are tailored to each skin type to ensure a comfortable, safe experience that is gentle on your skin.

The sensation of pain varies from person to person and depending on the area being treated. Generally speaking, it is often described as a slight snap from a rubber band or a sensation of heat or cold, but it is still very bearable.

The day before your treatment
Shave the area to be treated with a razor. (Avoid shaving the face.)

On the day of your session
To ensure the treatment is as effective as possible and to maximise your comfort:
The areas to be treated must be clean, thoroughly shaved and free from any cosmetic products (make-up, cream, oil, perfume or deodorant).

After your treatment, here are a few recommendations to help protect your skin
Make-up may be applied after the session if your skin tolerates it. However, in the event of sensitivity or redness, it is advisable to wait a few hours.
For the first 24 hours, avoid any contact with chlorinated swimming pools, steam rooms, saunas or sources of intense heat.
Avoid direct exposure to the sun in the days following the treatment.
It is essential to protect the skin on the treated areas from the sun using sun cream with an SPF of 50+.

What is not recommended before treatment
Do not remove hair by waxing, tweezing or using an electric epilator (which pulls the hair out at the root) for 4 to 6 weeks before treatment.
Do not use sunbeds or self-tanning products, body oils or expose yourself to prolonged sun exposure in the weeks leading up to treatment.

• Pregnancy
• Breastfeeding
• Herpes
• Cancer
• History of skin cancer
• Any progressive skin lesion in the treatment area.
• Recent tanning or sun exposure.
• Taking photosensitising medication.
• The treatment must not be carried out in the event of allergies to the sun, cold or heat.
• In the case of fine vellus hair, there is a risk of longer and darker hairs appearing.

Please note that certain products may interfere with our treatments and cause regrowth: dietary supplements for hair and nails, fertility-boosting injections, certain contraceptives and products containing hormones to maintain muscle mass.

Choosing a qualified laser hair removal centre is essential to ensure you receive a safe, effective treatment that is suited to your skin. Sessions carried out by experienced and certified practitioners help to maximise results whilst minimising the risk of adverse effects.

In Switzerland, treatments using laser technology are subject to strict regulations to ensure client safety and compliance with current standards.

It is therefore important to ensure that the centre you choose uses certified equipment that is regularly maintained, and that the team has the necessary training.

At MY LASER Lausanne, we place great importance on your safety, the quality of our equipment and the personalised care we provide to each client.

Yes. Each treatment is selected to suit your skin’s specific needs, with the aim of improving its condition, balance and radiance through a bespoke approach.

Yes. We create your personalised skincare programme by combining the technologies and treatments best suited to your goals and your skin’s needs.

Our centre is equipped with state-of-the-art medical lasers, featuring Lutronic’s CLARITY and Alma’s Soprano Titanium technologies.

Thanks to the combination of several complementary technologies and wavelengths, such as Alexandrite and YAG, our equipment enables us to treat all skin types, from I to VI, from the fairest to the darkest skin tones.

This combination allows us to draw up a personalised treatment plan, tailored to the skin type, hair type and the area to be treated.

In addition to our laser technologies, our centre is equipped with the Silhouet-Tone Evolution 7HD, a professional device designed for electrolysis.

Particularly suited to small areas and isolated hairs, it allows for the individual treatment of hairs that cannot be effectively targeted by the laser, notably white, grey or very light-coloured hairs.

It also serves as a complementary solution to complete a laser treatment and address any residual hairs.
