We are extremely proud that we are the first clinic in all of the Netherlands with the most
powerful Alexandrite (755nm.) and ND-YAG (1064nm.) laser combination. We have
extensive research has been done on the best lasers and they are on the new generation
Alexandrite/ND-YAG laser from Fotona: the AvalanceLase. The largest
advantage of this most powerful and effective Alexandrite laser in the world is
that it is suitable for both thick and thin pigmented hairs, this succeeds
e.g. not with the Diode laser. In addition, the ND-YAG laser is the safest and
most effective laser method for dark pigmented skin types 5 and 6. The
laser continuously measures the temperature of the skin, preventing unwanted skin reactions
are prevented. In addition, it is the first laser system in the world that works with
a cool-water spray works, making the treatment not feel painful
experienced. Only the best is good enough, you are always treated by an experienced HBO-educated skin therapist.

At Skin Project, we are the only ones in the whole of the Netherlands with the latest and most effective equipment to remove unwanted facial hair. You will always be treated by a quality-registered skin therapist with a completed HBO degree and extensive experience and broad knowledge. This is important because with the wrong equipment or an unskilled practitioner, there is a high risk of complications and damage to the skin. Unfortunately, this is quite common because laser therapy in the Netherlands is not yet a reserved procedure. With us, you are in safe hands. We can treat all skin types!

Laser hair removal is not painful due to the special water cooling. There is no longer any contact gel needed. You may feel small warm 'pins'.

Yes, the hairs that have been treated remain gone. New hairs can develop over time, for example due to hormonal changes. These hairs also appear when you do not laser. Therefore, we can only effectively treat the hairs that are present at that moment.

No, before the laser treatment, you should shave the hairs as short as possible. You can also do this at home daily. If you do not want to shave yourself, the skin therapist can do this before the treatment.

No, the treatment is only effective when the hair root is present in the hair follicle. When you start plucking in between, the treatment is less effective. We strongly advise against this. Shaving is allowed daily.

This is a persistent myth that we often hear. The answer is very clear: no, this is not the case. The hair may feel temporarily coarser because the diameter of the hair is just slightly thicker than the tip.

There is no recovery time after a laser treatment. Sometimes the skin may be a bit red, but we can camouflage this with an SPF product or Oxygenetix foundation. You leave the house as if nothing has happened.

For optimal results and to prevent unwanted skin reactions, we advise:

• not to expose the skin to direct sunlight for at least 2 weeks before and after the treatment and to apply SPF50. This is to prevent pigmentation disturbances in the skin.
• not to epilate or wax the hair between treatments. You may trim or shave the hair. We can only treat hair that is present.
• to avoid the sauna and hot baths for 24 hours after the treatment.

Hair grows in three different hair growth phases. Only in the active hair growth phase can we permanently remove hairs. At any given time, about 15-30% of the hairs are in the active hair growth phase. Thus, with each treatment, you further thin out the hair growth.

No, on average you achieve a hair reduction of 80 to 90% with 6 to 10 treatments. Thicker and darker hairs are well treatable, but fine, fluffy, or lighter hairs remain. These hairs are so fine that the laser cannot see them. The advantage is that you can hardly see them yourself and they also do not cause shaving irritation.

The general advice is to undergo 1 or 2 maintenance treatments per year, but this is certainly not always necessary. This is useful when you suddenly experience more hair growth due to hormonal changes.

All areas of the body can be treated. The most common hair removal treatments for women are the armpits, bikini line (small or full), buttocks, and legs. For men, the greatest demand is for the treatment of the back, shoulders, buttocks, and abdomen. Laser hair removal of the face is also possible. This treatment is often reimbursed by health insurance. Body treatments are generally not reimbursed.

Yes, laser hair removal on the face for women and men is covered by supplementary insurance. We are affiliated with all health insurers throughout the Netherlands.

Certainly, for transgender individuals, the reimbursement comes from the basic insurance. We have signed a contract with the VUMC transgender clinic, which allows us to safely treat many transgender patients in our clinic.

There is a big difference between the types of laser equipment, (no) training of practitioners, and marketing tricks, where promises are made that simply do not hold true. We understand that it is very difficult for a consumer to see the forest for the trees in this matter. Tip 1: Does it sound too good to be true? Then it often is. Tip 2: Check if your practitioner is registered in the Quality Register for Paramedics. Tip 3: Always ask which laser you are being treated with and whether it has a valid medical CE certification. We have consciously chosen a qualitative medical laser. This is to guarantee the best results, painlessly and to be able to treat all skin types. The investment is therefore many times higher than that of less good equipment.
