Permanent laser hair removal in Stockholm
Are you thinking about reducing unwanted hair growth? At The Faculty, you’ll meet qualified specialists who will guide you with a scientific approach and give you the confidence to make your own choice.
What does permanent hair removal involve?
Permanent laser hair removal is a process in which concentrated light waves are directed into the skin. The light energy is selectively absorbed by the melanin in the hair shaft and travels down to the root, where it is immediately converted into heat.
This selective heating disrupts the blood supply to the hair follicle, causing it to permanently lose its ability to produce new hairs. The method provides long-term hair reduction tailored to your skin type.

Why choose laser hair removal?
The reasons for undergoing laser treatment are individual and relate to personal choices in everyday life. Many patients choose to undergo the treatment for their own well-being, for example to permanently reduce unwanted hair growth or to alleviate recurring problems with folliculitis and troublesome ingrown hairs. We draw up a tailored plan based on your skin type.

Risks of permanent laser hair removal
Permanent laser hair removal is a proven and safe method when performed with calibrated equipment by trained personnel. Expected side effects include localized redness and a mild sensation of heat in the skin. Less common risks include blistering or temporary pigment changes if the skin has been sun-exposed close to the treatment session. Your practitioner will thoroughly review all preventive safety measures during your visit.

The Faculty operates from two locations in Stockholm. Our clinic at Hangövägen 20 is specially designed for plastic surgery procedures, providing the ideal conditions for ensuring patient safety.
For injection treatments and medical skincare, you are warmly welcome to visit our clinic at Humlegårdsgatan 14. Whichever of our clinics you visit, you will meet plastic surgeons, anaesthetists, nurses and nursing assistants who will provide you with transparent information and base their recommendations entirely on your anatomical conditions and your personal preferences.

Frequently asked questions about permanent laser hair removal
Here we have gathered frequently asked questions and answers regarding permanent laser hair removal.
What does permanent laser hair removal cost in Stockholm?
The price depends on which area you wish to treat (for example, the upper lip, bikini line, back, or legs) as well as how many sessions you need. You will always receive an exact price in writing after your consultation.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
The sensation is often described as small, warm snaps against the skin. Our modern laser machines feature built-in cooling systems that continuously cool the skin surface during the treatment to ensure maximum comfort.
How many treatments are needed for permanent results?
Most people need between six and ten treatments to achieve significant and long-lasting hair reduction. This is because hair follicles grow in different cycles and can only be destroyed during their active growth phase.
Can you do laser hair removal on dark skin?
Yes, with adapted wavelengths (such as diode laser or Nd:YAG), darker skin types can also be treated safely without damaging the skin's own pigment.
Can you shave between laser treatments?
Yes, you can shave with a razor as usual between your sessions. However, you must not pluck, wax, or use an epilator, as the hair follicle needs to remain intact for the laser to be effective during the next session.
How long is the recovery period?
There is no recovery time, and you can return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment.
