Contraindications and limitations for laser hair removal in Warsaw
Before signing up for laser hair removal, it is important to familiarize yourself with the possible contraindications. This is not just a formality — it is a guarantee of your safety, the effectiveness of the procedure, and proper skin healing. Understanding the limitations will help you avoid complications and prepare for the session, taking into account your personal characteristics.
Not all skin or body conditions are compatible with laser treatment — some are temporary, while others completely rule out the possibility of undergoing the procedure. That is why it is so important to have a preliminary consultation: an experienced specialist will assess your health, identify potential risks, and advise you on when and how best to start a course of hair removal.
The laser hair removal procedure at the Laserhouse Center in Warsaw is performed by qualified specialists with extensive experience.

Consider alternative methods
For example, nanoepilation or electrolysis are suitable for light or gray hair.
