My Experience With Laser Hair Removal at Med-Clinic: From...

Why I Chose Laser Hair Removal

After years of shaving, waxing and epilating, I'd had enough. The ingrown hairs, the irritation, the constant maintenance – it cost me not only time but also a considerable amount on razor blades, wax strips and hair removal creams. When I heard about the collaboration between Sauna Delizia and Med-Clinic Wilrijk, I decided to take the step towards permanent laser hair removal.

In this article, I share my complete experience: from the first consultation to the final result after 8 sessions. I'll tell you honestly about the pain, costs, aftercare and of course the results.

The First Consultation: What To Expect

The Intake

My journey began with a free intake consultation at Med-Clinic. During this approximately 30-minute conversation, the following was discussed:

•My skin and hair type – The specialist determined my Fitzpatrick skin type (type III) and analysed the colour and thickness of my body hair

•Medical history – Questions about medication use, skin conditions and any contraindications

•Expectations – An honest conversation about what laser hair removal can and cannot achieve

•Treatment plan – Based on the analysis, a plan was created with the estimated number of sessions per zone

The Test Patch

Before the real journey began, a test patch was performed on a small area of skin. This is an essential step that serious clinics always do. After 48 hours with no particular reaction, the green light was given for the full treatment.

The Treatment: Session By Session

Session 1: The Introduction

The first session is always the most nerve-wracking. The practitioner at Med-Clinic took extensive time to explain everything and put me at ease.

The feeling: The laser feels like a short, warm tap followed by a cold air blast from the built-in cooling system. On the lower legs, it was very bearable – I compare it to snapping an elastic band against your skin. The underarms were slightly more sensitive but absolutely bearable. The bikini area was most sensitive, but the session lasted only 15 minutes.

Result after session 1: About 20-25% of hair in the treated zones fell out within 3 weeks.

Sessions 2-3: The Confirmation

At the second and third sessions, I started recognising the pattern. The laser settings were slightly adjusted based on my skin's reaction.

Result after session 3: Estimated 40-50% hair reduction. The underarms responded fastest.

Sessions 4-5: The Turning Point

This was the moment when results became truly visible. The zones I used to shave daily now had only sporadic hair growth.

Result after session 5: Estimated 65-75% permanent hair reduction

Sessions 6-8: The Finishing Touch

The final three sessions target the remaining "stubborn" hairs.

Final result:

•Lower legs: 90-95% hair reduction. The few hairs that still grow are so fine and light they're barely visible

•Underarms: 95%+ hair reduction. Practically hair-free

•Bikini line: 85-90% hair reduction. A tremendous improvement

The Financial Side

Let's be honest: laser hair removal is an investment. But when you compare it to the lifetime costs of shaving and waxing, it's surprisingly good value. Check the current prices at med-clinic.be.

Tips For Optimal Results

1.Choose a reputable clinic – Med-Clinic uses FDA-approved equipment and certified specialists

3.Follow aftercare instructions – No sun, no hot showers for the first 24 hours, daily SPF 50

4.Be patient – Results build up gradually

5.Shave the day before – Not too early and not on the day itself

6.Avoid the sun – Minimum 2 weeks before and after each session

7.Combine with wellness – After a session, a relaxing evening in a private sauna at Sauna Delizia is the perfect self-care treat

My Conclusion

Laser hair removal at Med-Clinic is one of the best investments I've ever made in myself. It has freed me from the daily shaving ritual, ingrown hairs and irritation. The professionalism of the team, the quality of equipment and the results exceeded my expectations.
