Laser hair removal at the Pechersky Clinic is a modern way to long-term reduce unwanted hair growth without daily shaving, waxing, sugaring, and constant skin irritation.
The clinic uses Leaseir MHR diode technology, which allows you to work with different areas of the face and body, selecting parameters for skin phototype, color, density and thickness of hair.

The procedure is suitable for women and men who want to get smooth, well-groomed skin and reduce the problem of ingrown hairs, irritation after shaving, and regular depilation.
Thanks to sapphire cooling, the procedure is more comfortable, and a properly selected course helps to gradually reduce the density and activity of hair growth.
Important: Laser hair removal is not a “once and for all” procedure, but a course for long-term hair reduction. The result depends on the area, phototype, hair color and thickness.
How does the 810 nm diode laser work?
The principle of laser hair removal is based on the targeted effect of light energy on the hair follicle. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair, converted into heat and transmitted to the follicle, gradually reducing its ability to actively grow.
The FDA filing for the Leaseir MHR Xcell states that the system operates in the 800–820 nm range with a peak at 810 nm, and that the laser energy is directed to heat the target structures without undue damage to surrounding tissue. It also states that the system is intended to remove hair and reduce long-term hair regrowth.
Therefore, it is more correct to say not “permanent hair removal,” but long-term reduction of hair growth. The Mayo Clinic also emphasizes: laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but does not guarantee that it will never grow back; if the hair returns, it is often thinner and lighter.
Why is a course of procedures needed?
One treatment cannot affect all follicles at once because hair grows in cycles. The laser works best on hair in the active growth phase, when the follicle has sufficient connection to the hair shaft and contains pigment that absorbs light energy.
4–8 treatments
The approximate course in the clinic's material is 4–8 procedures, but the exact number depends on the area and hair characteristics.
4–6 weeks
The intervals between procedures help to gradually enter the active growth phase of a larger number of follicles.
10–25% after the first session
The American Academy of Dermatology notes that you can expect approximately 10–25% hair reduction after the first treatment.
Leaseir MHR: speed, precision and sapphire cooling
Leaseir MHR is a professional diode laser hair removal system. The Leaseir MHR Xcell technical datasheet lists a nominal wavelength of 810 nm, pulses of 1–400 ms, static mode of 1–4 Hz and dynamic mode of 10 Hz, as well as a sapphire contact in the FDA documentation.
Large and small areas
You can work with both delicate areas of the face and large areas of the body: legs, back, chest, arms.
Individual settings
The settings are selected based on phototype, hair thickness, hair color, skin sensitivity, and treatment area.
Sapphire cooling
Cooling the work surface helps reduce discomfort and the risk of skin overheating.
Which areas is laser hair removal suitable for?
Leaseir MHR laser hair removal is suitable for various areas of the face and body. At the Pechersky Clinic, both small delicate areas and large areas can be treated.
Faces.
Upper lip, chin, cheeks, temple line, neck. Precision, comfort, and delicacy are important here.
Popular women's areas
Armpits, classic or deep bikini, legs in whole or in part, arms, stomach.
Popular men's areas
Back, chest, stomach, shoulders, armpits, neck and beard area for irritation after shaving.
Laser hair removal for women
Women most often choose laser hair removal for their legs, armpits, bikini line, arms, upper lip, or chin. It is a convenient solution for those who are tired of daily shaving, irritation, razor bumps, ingrown hairs, or regular painful waxing.
- irritation after shaving;
- ingrown hairs;
- rapid hair growth;
- sensitive skin after depilation;
- desire to reduce the care routine;
- preparation for the summer season;
- discomfort from waxing or sugaring.
Important for hormonal conditions: If there is excessive hair growth in atypical areas, the course may require additional consultation with a doctor, because the result depends not only on the laser, but also on the causes of hair growth.
Laser hair removal for men
Laser hair removal for men is no longer a rarity or a “female procedure.” Men often seek treatment for their back, chest, abdomen, shoulders, neck, armpits, or beard area if they have irritation after shaving or ingrown hairs.
The FDA document for Leaseir MHR Xcell lists not only hair removal but also treatment of Pseudofolliculitis barbae, a condition associated with irritation and ingrown hairs after shaving.
Thick hair
Back, chest, stomach, shoulders and other areas with increased hair density.
Irritation after shaving
This is especially true for the neck and beard area, where ingrown hairs and folliculitis often occur.
Comfort and well-groomedness
The procedure can reduce discomfort from sweating, friction, and regular waxing.
How to prepare for laser hair removal
Preparation affects both comfort and results. The area should be shaved evenly 24 hours before the procedure. The hair should be short so that the laser energy works on the follicle and not on the length of the hair.
- Do not pull out hair with wax, sugaring, or tweezers.
- Do not use self-tanner.
- Do not sunbathe actively before the procedure.
- Do not do aggressive peeling in the treatment area.
- Do not apply acids, retinoids, or irritants to the area.
- Inform the specialist about medications, especially photosensitizing drugs.
- Report active dermatological conditions, rashes, or irritation.
Between sessions, you can only shave or use a trimmer. Waxing, sugaring, and tweezing remove the hair from the root, making it harder for the laser to effectively affect the follicle.
What not to do after laser hair removal
Your skin may be slightly red or sensitive after the procedure. This is a normal, temporary reaction that usually goes away. The AAD notes that redness and swelling, similar to a mild sunburn, are possible after laser hair removal, and most people can return to their normal activities immediately.
24–48 hours
It is best to avoid saunas, hammams, hot baths, intense exercise, overheating, and tight clothing if it rubs against the skin.
Without aggressive agents
Do not use scrubs, acids, retinoids, self-tanners, alcohol-containing and perfumed products on the treated area.
SPF
If the area is exposed to the sun, it is important to use SPF and not use a tanning bed after the procedure.
Who should postpone the procedure?
Laser hair removal requires a responsible approach. At the Pechersky Clinic, a consultation and basic skin assessment are conducted before the course to select the parameters or postpone the procedure if necessary for safety.
- pregnancy and lactation;
- active skin infections;
- fresh tan or sunburn;
- irritation, wounds, rashes in the treatment area;
- taking photosensitizing drugs;
- exacerbation of dermatological diseases;
- recent use of aggressive peels;
- self-tanning on the skin;
- oncological conditions or other contraindications that require a doctor's consultation.
Honest approach: If the skin is not ready, it is better to postpone the procedure than to risk irritation, burns or pigmentation.

Frequently asked questions about laser hair removal
How many laser hair removal treatments are needed?
Usually, a course of several procedures is required. The materials from the Pechersky Clinic indicate approximately 4–8 sessions with intervals of 4–6 weeks, but the exact number depends on the area, skin phototype, hair color and thickness.
Does laser hair removal permanently?
It's more accurate to say that hair growth is reduced over time. The Mayo Clinic notes that laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but it doesn't guarantee that it will never grow back. If hair does grow back, it is often finer and lighter in color.
Is laser hair removal painful?
The sensation depends on the area, skin sensitivity and hair density. Leaseir MHR’s sapphire cooling helps make the procedure more comfortable and reduces the risk of overheating the skin surface.
Why can't you wax or sugaring between sessions?
Waxing, sugaring, and tweezing remove hair from the root. For laser, it is important that the follicle remains in place, so only shaving or a trimmer is allowed between treatments.
When does hair fall out after laser hair removal?
Hair does not fall out instantly on the day of the procedure. The Mayo Clinic notes that treated hair usually gradually falls out over a period of days or weeks.
Can I have laser hair removal after tanning?
After an active tan, it is better to postpone the procedure. Tanned or irritated skin has a higher risk of adverse reactions, so the specialist may postpone the session or change the parameters.
What areas can be treated?
The most popular areas are: upper lip, chin, armpits, bikini, legs, arms, back, chest, stomach, neck. For men, the back, chest, stomach, shoulders, and neck area are often relevant.
Is laser hair removal suitable for men?
Yes. Laser hair removal is also suitable for men, especially if they have thick hair on their back, chest, stomach, neck, or irritation after shaving.
What can't you do after the procedure?
In the first 24–48 hours, it is best to avoid saunas, hot baths, intense workouts, scrubs, acids, retinoids, tanning beds, and overheating. If the area is exposed to the sun, SPF is required.
