Leg laser hair removal in Málaga

At Narumi, Calle Cristo de la Epidemia 33, in Málaga city centre, a few minutes' walk from El Ejido and La Victoria. We use a diode laser with a cooled sapphire tip, and Marta Fernández carries out the consultation and every session. Since legs are a long session, we book exactly the time needed to do them without rushing.

Ideally between October and December. With sessions every 8–10 weeks, that gives you four or five before June, by which point the hair has reduced a lot. In summer, with your legs in the sun on the beach, it's best to pause or space sessions out and pick up again in autumn. Starting in spring still gets you somewhere, but you'll reach summer with fewer sessions done.

It depends on where the hair that bothers you is. If your thigh hair is sparse or very light, half legs may be enough. If you shave your whole leg, full legs work out better value than doing half legs and extending later. You can always start with half legs and switch to full legs at any session. Prices for both options and the package are in the table on this page.

Yes. Hair on the tops of the feet and toes is usually coarse and dark, and responds well. It can be added to your legs and is included in the full legs, feet, underarms and pubic area package. The bone is close to the skin there, so you'll feel it a little more; we treat it with careful pulses and the cooling of the sapphire tip.

We don't fire pulses over prominent varicose veins, thread veins or areas with phlebitis: we leave them out and treat the rest of the leg. If you have a diagnosed vascular condition, have had a thrombosis, or your legs feel swollen or sore, check with your doctor first. Laser hair removal doesn't improve varicose veins or circulation; its only target is the hair.

It usually helps a great deal. Ingrown hairs and spots after shaving or waxing appear when hair grows awkwardly under the skin; with less hair, and finer hair, there are fewer chances for that. If you have pus-filled or very inflamed spots on the day, we don't treat that area until it settles, and if they keep coming back, it's worth having your dermatologist look at them.

Around 40 to 50 minutes, and a little longer if we add feet, underarms and pubic area in the package. Half legs take around 20–30 minutes. The time stays similar as the sessions go on, because there's the same surface to cover, but it feels easier as there's less hair.

Yes, as long as you don't tan in the 15 days before or the 15 days after each session. In Málaga, with good weather almost all year, that means SPF 50 every day if your legs are uncovered, and no sunbathing during those weeks. If you're planning to tan on purpose, it's better to pause the plan and pick it up again once the tan has faded.

Shave it whenever you like: a razor cuts the hair at the surface and leaves the root, which is what the laser needs. Avoid waxing, tweezing and epilators. In the two or three weeks after each session you'll see hair that seems to be growing: it's the treated hair working its way out before it falls, and gentle exfoliation helps.
