Are you looking for a long-term solution for excessive hair growth? At o2 Clinic we offer the safest and most complete hair removal thanks to the Definitive Plus laser device. Using three different wavelengths, unlike other laser devices, it can treat any hair type at any time of the year, even tanned skin (not tanned by the sun). Both dark hairs and light and thin hairs can be treated and eliminated quickly and efficiently.
The laser light from the Definitive Plus laser device penetrates the hair follicle located in the skin and damages it so that the hair does not grow back or slows future hair growth to ultimately lead to permanent hair reduction.
The same applies to laser hair removal as to electrolysis hair removal: the hair is only removed when it is at the correct stage of the growth cycle. This consists of the growth phase, the transition phase and the resting phase. The treatment is most effective during the growth phase. The beautician cannot change the growth cycle, so the treatments must be repeated for the hairs that were not in the correct phase.
Each pulse of the laser takes only a fraction of a second, but can target multiple hairs at once. Each pulse can cover an area the size of a 1 euro coin. The big advantage is that it is relatively painless.
Thanks to the wide range of wavelengths, our laser offers an efficient and permanent solution for every part of the body: between the eyebrows, upper lip, cheeks, armpits, arms, legs, beard, pubic area and back.
