Thighs — laser hair removal in Tartu — €40

About the treatment

The thighs are the upper half of the leg, from the bikini line to the knee, and by area this is its largest part. The hair here is usually finer and lighter than below the knee: it has less pigment, so the power is set higher than on the lower legs rather than lower, and the common expectation that a large area is treated more roughly does not hold here. The thigh is treated from every side, turning the leg; the inner surface is thinner and more sensitive than the outer one, and the settings there are changed. There is almost no bone under the skin, and the session is tolerated more easily than on the shins. The area is covered as a course with an interval of 4–8 weeks.

The thighs are often treated separately from the lower legs, by those who wear short clothes but keep their legs covered in winter. On average the area needs 6–10 sessions, and on light fine hair the response is weaker than on dark hair, which the specialist says at the examination rather than afterwards. Preparation: shave the day before or on the day of the visit, and for 2–4 weeks before the session no waxing, sugaring or tweezers, because the root must stay in the skin. For a day after the session it is better to do without a sauna, a hot bath and tight leggings. And 2–4 weeks without active sun exposure and tanning beds: on a fresh tan the settings cannot be chosen safely, and the visit will have to be rescheduled.

* This is an average: some people need more sessions.

How the visit goes

Step by step: the treatment

01Skin preparationFor 2–4 weeks before: no tanning, sunbeds, waxing, sugaring or tweezers; the day before or on the day, shave the area with an ordinary razor.
02Phototype and settingsThe specialist determines your skin phototype and sets the device accordingly; a cooling gel is applied to the skin.
03SessionThe handpiece passes over the area in flashes; built-in cooling keeps it comfortable. For most people growth slows and some hairs shed after the first few sessions — how quickly depends on hair and skin type.
04AfterwardsTwo weeks without sun or sunbed; do not pull hairs from the root — shaving only. The next visit is scheduled at an interval the specialist chooses.

Available timeschecking the schedule…

01How many sessions are needed and how far apart?

On average 6–10 sessions at 4–8 week intervals: hair is only removed in its active growth phase, which is why the course is spread out over time. The exact number depends on the area, the density and the colour of the hair — the specialist will tell you after the examination.* This is an average: some people need more sessions.

02Does it hurt?

The diode laser works with a cooled tip: the sensation is short warm snaps. Sensitive areas (bikini, upper lip) are noticeably easier to take than waxing. If the discomfort is strong, the specialist lowers the settings during the session itself.

03Can it be done in summer and on tanned skin?

We work through the summer. You must not come with a fresh tan: after strong sun or a sunbed a 2–4 week pause is needed, and between sessions — SPF on exposed areas. On tanned skin the settings are chosen more gently, so the examination is compulsory.

04How should I prepare for the session?

Shave the area 12–24 hours before the visit — the root must stay and the surface must be clean. For 2–4 weeks do not pluck, wax or sugar. On the day of the session — no creams, deodorants or self-tan on the area.

05What should be avoided after the treatment?

For 48 hours — no sauna, pool, hot bath or sport that makes you sweat. For a week — no scrubs or aggressive acids on the area. Sun — only under SPF. Hair will start to fall out in 5–14 days, and that is normal.

06Who is the laser not suitable for?

The laser sees light, grey and red hair less well — there is little pigment in it and the result will be weaker; we will say so plainly at the examination. There are also contraindications: pregnancy, taking photosensitising medication, inflammation and fresh damage on the area.

07A bundle or areas separately?

A bundle is better value if you take several areas in one visit: the price is fixed and lower than the areas added up. If you need a single area — take it separately, there is no point paying extra for a bundle.
