Medical laser hair removal in Marbella

Not all laser hair removal is the same. The result depends on the type of laser, your skin type, your hair type, and how the protocol is applied. At Dr. Herrera Vila's Marbella clinic, we use state-of-the-art diode laser technology — the most effective option available, and the one best suited to the wide range of skin tones you find on the Costa del Sol.

Every treatment is performed under medical supervision. Before we start, a specialist assesses your skin tone and hair type to design the most effective protocol for you. That's what makes the difference between lasting results and wasted sessions.

How it works

The laser emits a precise wavelength that targets the melanin in the hair shaft. The heat travels down to the follicle and destroys it — without damaging the surrounding skin. Because the laser only acts on hair in its active growth phase, multiple sessions are needed to achieve full coverage.

Why diode laser

Diode laser is the gold standard for permanent hair removal. It penetrates deeper than IPL, works safely on darker and tanned skin, and delivers consistent results across all phototypes. On the Costa del Sol, where sun exposure is a year-round reality, this matters more than anywhere else.

How many sessions

Most patients need between 6 and 8 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area, your hair density and your skin tone. We give you a personalised plan in the free first consultation — no guesswork, no upselling.

Frequently asked questions

Is laser hair removal permanent?
Yes. Medical laser hair removal achieves a permanent reduction of 80–90% of hair in treated areas. After completing the recommended sessions, hair either disappears completely or is reduced to a minimum that requires no maintenance.
Does it work on tanned or darker skin?
Yes. The diode laser technology we use is specifically suitable for tanned and darker skin types — which is particularly relevant on the Costa del Sol. We assess your skin phototype in the first consultation to confirm suitability and adjust the protocol accordingly.
Is it painful?
Most patients describe it as a mild snapping sensation or warmth. Our equipment includes an integrated cooling system that keeps discomfort to a minimum throughout the session. The vast majority of people find it very tolerable.
How many sessions do I need?
Between 6 and 8 sessions on average, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart. The exact number depends on the area, hair density and your skin tone. We assess your individual case in the free first consultation and give you a clear, honest plan.
