Step-by-step guide to laser hair removal and facial protocols from Instituto Médico Privado, with personalized care for healthy, well-treated skin.
Achieve smooth, well-cared-for skin with IMP treatments
Skin care is no longer just a matter of aesthetics. It is a way of maintaining a sense of well-being and a well-groomed appearance in everyday life, for both women and men.
At the Instituto Médico Privado (IMP) in Porto, this care is designed with clinical rigor, advanced technology, and personalized plans for each person.
This guide explains, in a practical way, how laser hair removal works and how it can be integrated into the routine of those who don’t have much time, but still value visible and lasting results.
Laser hair removal: a long-lasting solution for men and women
IMP’s laser hair removal is performed with state-of-the-art equipment, designed to ensure greater comfort, safety, and effectiveness on different skin phototypes and hair types.
The treatment is always personalized. Before starting, an assessment is made to define the most appropriate protocol, considering skin phototype, color, hair thickness, and health status.
Among the main advantages of laser hair removal at IMP are:
Step-by-step laser hair removal
This is an option for those looking for a permanent hair removal solution, with long-lasting results from the first session.
But the impact goes beyond the numbers. The skin becomes firmer, the body contour more defined, and self-esteem naturally renewed.
Step 1 - Assessment consultation
The first step is a personalized assessment consultation, in which a professional analyzes your case, history, and goals, and explains the most appropriate treatment options.
During this consultation, the following are defined:
This combination of technology and human support is what makes the IMP experience different and truly transformative.
Step 2 - Definition of areas and plan
At IMP, laser hair removal covers different areas of the body: face (upper lip, chin, sideburns, and full face, except the eye area), armpits, arms, legs, groin, chest, abdomen, and back.
There are also specific packages, such as full body for women and full body for men, as well as maintenance packages, designed for those who want to maintain long-term results.
Step 3 - Treatment sessions
During the sessions, the laser acts on the hair root, with energy adjusted to the characteristics of the skin and the treated area. The total number of sessions varies depending on the area and the profile of each person, but the goal is always to ensure a balance between effectiveness, safety, and comfort.
Step 4 - Maintenance and follow-up
After the initial protocol, maintenance sessions can be scheduled at longer intervals to consolidate the results. At IMP, there are specific maintenance packages, which facilitate medium and long-term planning.
Facial protocols: more than just a simple “skin cleansing”
Instead of a single isolated cleansing procedure, IMP works with personalized facial protocols that combine several techniques for a more complete result.
By combining different techniques, the treatments can be adapted to the needs of each patient. They are particularly effective for rejuvenating, moisturizing, and improving skin firmness and radiance.
As such, these facial treatments are highly sought after by people with mature skin showing signs of aging, blemishes, or loss of firmness, as well as those seeking preventive care.
Step-by-step facial care
To achieve the best results, IMP uses dermatological active ingredients, radiofrequency, microdermabrasion, LED, peels, microneedling, among other techniques, always with continuous monitoring.
Step 1 - Clinical skin assessment
As with hair removal, the process begins with an assessment consultation, in which the professional analyzes:
Step 2 - Defining protocol
Based on this assessment, a protocol is defined that may include:
The plan is designed progressively, with a number of sessions and intervals adjusted to the objective and initial condition of the skin.
Step 3 - Combined sessions
The sessions combine techniques appropriate to each patient’s profile, with a focus on natural results. Monitoring is continuous, allowing the protocol to be adjusted whenever necessary and ensuring compatibility with other ongoing treatments.
Laser hair removal and skin care: Who is it for?
It is still common to associate laser hair removal and facial care mainly with women. However, at IMP these treatments are designed for everyone, with protocols tailored to different routines and goals.
Facial protocols are also recommended for men who want more even, hydrated skin with reduced signs of aging, without altering their natural expression. Similarly, laser hair removal treatments are an asset in simplifying personal care routines and optimizing the quality of the skin on the body.
Each protocol is always personalized, respecting the skin type and phototype, its current condition, and the lifestyle of each patient.
Take care of yourself! How to start a skin treatment
Whether you are looking to simplify your hair removal routine or want healthier, better-cared-for facial skin, the starting point is always the same: a personalized assessment consultation.
At Instituto Médico Privado, each plan is defined based on:
From there, both laser hair removal and facial protocols become part of a coherent skin care strategy, with visible results after each session.
