Common questions
Where can I get laser hair removal in Cairo?
Jothen Clinics has five laser hair removal branches: Heliopolis (Roxy), Nasr City, Fifth Settlement, Rehab City and Pyramid Gardens in Giza. Each branch books directly on WhatsApp.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser gives long-lasting hair reduction. Most treated hair does not grow back, and what does is finer. Some people need a maintenance session once or twice a year.
How many sessions will I need?
Most areas need 6 to 8 sessions, 4 to 8 weeks apart. Face and thick male hair can need up to 10. Your branch confirms the plan after checking your skin and hair.
Does laser hair removal hurt?
Most people feel a quick warm snap. Both machines cool the skin during the pulse, and the team adjusts settings to keep you comfortable.
What is the difference between Candela GentleLase Pro and Deka Motus AY?
GentleLase Pro is an alexandrite laser that works very well on light to medium skin. Motus AY combines alexandrite and Nd:YAG with Moveo technology, which makes it suitable for a wider range of skin types, including darker skin, and very comfortable. The team picks the right one for you.
Is laser safe for dark or tanned skin?
Yes, with the right machine and settings. The Deka Motus AY is designed for a wide range of skin types. Avoid tanning for 2 weeks before a session.
Can men do laser hair removal?
Yes. Jothen Clinics treats men at every branch, including beard shaping, neck, back, chest, shoulders and full body.
How should I prepare for a session?
Shave the area the day before. Do not wax, pluck, thread or use bleaching creams for 4 weeks before. Come with clean skin, without cream or deodorant on the area.
What should I avoid after a session?
Avoid sun, saunas, hot baths and intense exercise for 48 hours. Use sunscreen on exposed treated areas, and do not wax or pluck between sessions.
Can I do laser in summer?
Yes, as long as the treated area is not tanned and you protect it from the sun before and after each session.
Can I do laser during Ramadan?
Yes. Sessions do not break the fast. Many people prefer an evening appointment, and branches are open until 10 PM.
Can I do laser while pregnant?
Laser is usually postponed during pregnancy as a precaution. Tell the branch if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
How long does a session take?
From about 10 minutes for underarms to 60 to 90 minutes for full body.
How do I book?
Choose your nearest branch on the booking page and message it on WhatsApp. The team replies with available times.
Is the treatment private?
Yes. Sessions take place in private treatment rooms, and you can ask the branch any question before booking.
