Laser Hair Removal

16.Do you have the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus?

Yes. Lina’s Laser uses the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus (Alexandrite + Nd:YAG) for laser hair removal, and we are the only center in Lebanon with this technology.

Machines
17.Which laser machines do you use for hair removal?

We use the Candela GentleMax Pro Plus (Alexandrite + Nd:YAG), Quadro and Neo laser systems. The machine is chosen according to your skin type and hair, and all of them have built-in cooling.

18.What is the difference between Candela, Quadro and Neo?

Candela GentleMax Pro Plus combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers and is a gold standard for safety and results on all skin types. Quadro is designed for speed on large body areas. Neo is the newer generation, with more precise energy delivery that works well on finer or more resistant hair.

Machines
19.Do you offer laser hair removal for men?

Yes. Men and women have separate days and separate WhatsApp numbers. Men in Beirut: +961 71 534 928. Men in Antelias: +961 71 226 082.

20.Does laser hair removal work on dark skin?

Yes. The Candela GentleMax Pro Plus combines Alexandrite and Nd:YAG lasers, so it can treat both light and darker skin tones safely.

21.Does laser work on fine or light hair?

Laser works best on dark, thick hair. Fine or light hair responds more slowly and may need more sessions; our Neo machine is particularly effective on finer or more resistant hair.

22.How many laser hair removal sessions will I need?

Most people need a series of sessions (often 6 to 8) spaced a few weeks apart, followed by occasional touch-ups. The exact number depends on the area, your hair and your hormones, and we confirm it at your first visit.

23.Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser gives long-term hair reduction rather than 100% permanent removal. After the main course of sessions, hair becomes much less, finer and slower-growing, but hormones and dormant follicles can bring some hair back over time.

24.Do I need maintenance sessions after laser hair removal?

Yes. After finishing the main sessions, a maintenance session every 3 to 6 months, depending on the person, keeps the results and treats any new or fine hair.

25.Why does hair grow back between laser sessions?

Hair grows in cycles, and the laser works best on hair in the active growth phase. Because not all hairs are in that phase at the same time, several sessions are needed to reach every follicle.

26.Is laser hair removal painful?

Yes. We use fractional CO2 laser and other advanced laser treatments to improve acne scars, surgical scars and stretch marks.

CO2 Laser for Scars

The CO2 laser creates thousands of tiny heat columns in the skin, which trigger the body to produce new collagen and elastin. The skin keeps improving over several weeks after each session.

Usually 3 to 5 sessions, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Stretch marks can’t be removed completely, but they become much less visible. We treat the abdomen, thighs, buttocks and arms.
