Facial Laser Hair Removal in Warsaw and Kyiv

The facial laser hair removal procedure at LaserVille studios in Warsaw and Kyiv begins with a mandatory consultation. During this visit, a specialist examines your skin condition, hair color, and structure, rules out any contraindications, and selects the optimal laser settings. At this stage, a test flash is performed — a short trial pulse that ensures your skin responds comfortably and safely to the treatment.

Laser hair removal works by using light energy absorbed by melanin — the natural pigment found in hair. The light is converted into heat, which destroys the hair follicle and prevents future growth, while leaving the surrounding skin unharmed. During facial laser hair removal, you’ll wear protective goggles — especially important for work around the eye area. The practitioner also applies a special gel to allow the handpiece to glide smoothly across the skin.

Most areas — such as the upper lip, chin, temples, forehead, hairline, and cheeks — are treated using the MOVEO technology, which makes the procedure completely painless. For more precise zones, like the eyebrows, nose, or ears, the alexandrite Motus AX laser is used without the MOVEO tip, ensuring maximum precision. The entire session takes between 5 and 30 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterward, your specialist provides aftercare recommendations and helps plan your next visit.

Facial laser hair removal requires maximum precision and delicacy. The skin in this area is especially sensitive, while the hair is often thin and light. That’s why it’s crucial for the device to provide not only effectiveness but also complete safety. There are several types of lasers used for hair removal, each operating at a specific wavelength:

1. Diode laser (800–810 nm). A popular and versatile option suitable for most skin types, but it may be less effective on fine or light-colored hair.
2. Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm). Penetrates deeper into the skin and works well on darker or tanned skin tones, though it’s less sensitive to melanin.
3. Alexandrite laser (755 nm). Interacts best with the pigment in the hair, ensuring fast and precise follicle destruction.

Among these, the alexandrite laser is considered the gold standard for facial laser hair removal — combining safety, precision, and outstanding results. That’s exactly why LaserVille studios in Warsaw and Kyiv use the Motus AX alexandrite laser from the Italian company DEKA.

Unlike diode or Nd:YAG systems, the Motus AX operates at a 755 nm wavelength, which is perfectly absorbed by melanin — destroying the hair follicle without overheating the skin. Its unique MOVEO technology delivers laser energy in motion, making treatments gentle, even, and completely painless, even in delicate facial areas. The integrated cooling system (up to 15 °C) eliminates the risk of burns and ensures comfort for all skin phototypes.

The Motus AX laser is FDA-approved in the United States and maintained by DEKA’s official service center in Ukraine, ensuring maximum reliability. It’s safe even for treatments around the eyes and ideal for contouring areas like the eyebrows, upper lip, chin, and neck.

Facial laser hair removal is a course-based treatment, where the results build up gradually. The laser only targets hairs that are in the active growth phase (anagen) — and at any given time, only about 20–30% of your facial hair is in this stage. The remaining hairs are dormant, which is why one session isn’t enough to achieve lasting results.

At LaserVille studios in Warsaw and Kyiv, the average facial laser hair removal course starts from 8 sessions. The exact number depends on your hair color, density, skin phototype, and hormonal background. For instance, light or red hair contains less melanin — the “magnet” for laser energy — so they typically require more treatments.

The intervals between sessions gradually increase: the first break is usually around 4 weeks, and each subsequent one extends by 7–10 days. This schedule allows the laser to target new hairs as they enter the active growth phase.

After completing the full course, hair growth is reduced by over 90%, and the skin remains smooth for many months. However, over time, new follicles may form, leading to a few stray hairs. To maintain perfectly smooth skin, LaserVille specialists recommend 1–2 maintenance sessions per year.

The results of laser facial hair removal become visible within 10–20 days after the first session, when about one-third of the treated hairs begin to shed naturally. Your skin feels smoother, facial contours look cleaner and more defined, and the remaining hairs become thinner and grow much slower. After completing a full course of treatments, hair growth is reduced by more than 90%, and the smooth skin effect can last for many months — sometimes even years.

It’s important to understand that laser hair removal doesn’t promise permanent hair loss forever, but it does drastically reduce the number of active follicles and significantly slows down regrowth. To maintain optimal long-term results, LaserVille specialists recommend 1–2 maintenance sessions per year.

For clients with fine or light facial hair, results may appear more gradually since these hairs contain less melanin, the pigment that the laser targets. Because of the lack of melanin, laser hair removal is typically ineffective on vellus (peach fuzz) hairs. However, with the MOVEO technology used in our Motus AX laser systems, even blonde and red hairs can be successfully treated if there’s any pigment present in the follicle.

Hormonal balance can also influence the outcome. In cases such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), increased hair growth may occur, requiring a more personalized treatment plan.

Before performing facial laser hair removal at LaserVille studios in Warsaw and Kyiv, each client undergoes a consultation with a specialist. The skin condition is assessed, and health information is collected to identify contraindications and ensure the procedure is as safe and effective as possible.

Absolute contraindications include:

• oncological diseases;
• decompensated diabetes;
• immune system disorders;
• hair without melanin (e.g., gray hair);
• active viral infections (including herpes during an outbreak);

Relative contraindications include:
