All the answers in one place. Didn't find what you need? Ask us directly.

The treatment

How many treatments?

Usually 6–8 treatments spaced 4–8 weeks apart.

Is it painful?

5°C cooling reduces discomfort. Most clients feel only a mild pinch.

How long?

5–45 min. Return to routine immediately after.

Do results last?

Hair reduction is stable and long-lasting; an annual maintenance session preserves it.

Before and after

What to do before?

Arrive shaved (not waxed) 24–48h before. Avoid sun 2 weeks prior.

What should you do after the treatment?

Avoid sweating for 24 hours, and sun exposure or tanning for two days. Use SPF 50 sunscreen before any future sun exposure.

Can you do laser in the summer?

Yes, year-round, while avoiding sun exposure for about two weeks before and after each treatment, and using SPF 50 protection.

Can you tan before a treatment?

Not recommended. Tanned skin increases the risk of burns and irritation. Avoid tanning for about two weeks before the appointment.

Who it suits

Suitable for dark skin?

Yes! Fitzpatrick IV–VI. Patch test performed before treatment.

From what age can you start?

From age 12 and up.

Who cannot get the treatment?

Pregnant women and clients taking Roaccutane.

Who is laser treatment suitable for?

Women and men aged 12 and up, for all skin tones including Fitzpatrick I–VI. Not suitable for pregnant women or clients taking Roaccutane.

What do you do if you have hormonal hair growth?

A longer treatment series and more frequent maintenance are usually needed. The plan is built individually at the initial consultation, and combining it with medical advice is sometimes recommended.

Is laser hair removal available for men?

Yes, we treat men and women alike, including back, shoulders, stomach, and chest.

Prices, location and choosing a clinic

How much does laser hair removal in Givatayim cost?

Where is CABELO clinic located?

8 Ariel Sharon St., Givatayim. Book online 24/7 or call 054-7292469.

How do you choose a laser clinic?

Staff experience, equipment type (diode vs. IPL), verified reviews, and price transparency. A boutique clinic specializing only in hair removal is preferable to a general institute.

What's the difference between SHR and diode laser?

SHR works with low-intensity scanning, mainly for light skin. Fourth-generation diode laser penetrates directly into the follicle and is effective on all skin tones, including dark and tanned skin.
