Unlike temporary methods such as shaving or waxing, laser hair removal permanently reduces hair growth. By switching off the hair follicle with targeted laser energy, you prevent hairs from returning. This not only makes it more effective, but also cheaper and more comfortable in the long run.
Whether you opt for laser hair removal of the body, face or a permanent solution for unwanted hair growth on the bikini line – this technique is safe, fast and extremely effective.
- ✅ Permanent hair removal already visible after a few treatments
- ✅ Suitable for areas such as armpits, face, bikini line, legs and back
- ✅ No more ingrown hairs or razor burn
- ✅ Time saving: no more shaving or waxing
- ✅ Handled by professionals with safe laser equipment
In our laser hair removal clinic in Antwerp, we treat both light and dark skin types with advanced technology. Thanks to this innovation, laser hair removal is more comfortable and efficient than ever.
How exactly does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy that selectively heats up the pigment (melanin) in the hair root. This heat destroys the hair follicle and prevents the hair from growing again. Because this process focuses on the hair root, the surrounding skin remains completely intact. This is called selective photothermolysis and is the basis of permanent laser hair removal.
The body has multiple hair growth phases, but laser works best during the active growth phase (anagen phase). Therefore, several sessions are needed – usually between 6 and 8 treatments – to effectively destroy all hair follicles. The treatment frequency varies from 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the area and your hair growth.
For which areas is laser hair removal suitable?
Thanks to our specialized equipment, we treat both small and large areas. Popular zones are:
- ✅ Face (upper lip, chin, cheeks)
- ✅ Armpits and arms
- ✅ Back, chest and abdomen (for men)

Is laser hair removal painful or dangerous?
A frequently asked question is: "Does laser hair removal hurt?". The answer is: most people experience only a slight stinging or warm sensation, similar to a rubber band tapping against the skin. Thanks to the modern systems we use at Med-Clinic Antwerp, the treatment is extremely comfortable, even on sensitive areas such as the bikini line or the face.
Advanced cooling systems ensure that the skin is continuously protected during the treatment. As a result, most customers are surprised at how smoothly and painlessly the session goes. Of course, the pain threshold is personal, but we always adjust the settings based on your comfort.
Is laser hair removal dangerous?
When applied correctly by a professional, laser hair removal is completely safe. Our practitioners are medically trained and only work with CE-certified devices. In this way, we minimize any risk of skin irritation or burning. The risk of side effects is very small and is usually limited to slight redness or warm skin, which disappears quickly.
It is important that you follow the right aftercare: avoid sunlight just before and after the treatment, use an SPF50 sunscreen and follow the instructions of our specialists. This way you avoid unwanted reactions and give your skin the chance to recover beautifully.

What does laser hair removal cost and is it worth the investment?
The price of laser hair removal depends on several factors: the body part to be treated, your hair type, skin type and the number of sessions required. For example, with laser hair removal of the body , you pay a different rate than for hair removal of the face or armpits.
Below we give an indication of common treatment prices at Med-Clinic Antwerpen:
- ✅ Bikini line: from €80 per session
- ✅ Armpits: from €60 per session
- ✅ Face (upper lip/chin): from €50 per session
- ✅ Legs: from €150 per session
- ✅ Full Body: Personalized Package Prices
For optimal results, an average of 6 to 8 treatments are needed. After that, maintenance every six months or annually may be sufficient to maintain the result. You can also opt for advantageous package formulas or combination treatments.
Cheaper than you think: compare with other methods
Although laser hair removal price may seem slightly higher at first than, for example, waxing or tweezing, you will save a lot of time and money in the long run. Think of the years of buying razor blades, waxing appointments or depilatory creams – those costs add up quickly. In addition, permanent hair removal gives you a permanently smooth result, without constant repetition.
