Laser hair removal
About the Candela Alexandrite, sessions, results and skin types.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser delivers long-term reduction (~80–90% after 6 Candela Alexandrite sessions), not absolute permanence. Hormonal change can wake dormant follicles years later — Nova's free repeat session covers maintenance.
How many sessions of laser hair removal will I need?
Most areas need 6 sessions, scheduled 4–6 weeks apart so we catch each follicle in its active growth phase. Larger areas (Full Body, Legs) sometimes need 8.
Is the Candela Alexandrite safe for Mediterranean skin?
Yes. The 755 nm Alexandrite wavelength is the gold-standard for Fitzpatrick II–IV skin — exactly the Cyprus profile. Patch test always runs before the first full session.
What hair can't be lasered?
White, grey, light blonde and red hair lacks pigment so the laser can't target it. For these we recommend electrolysis. Tattooed skin, vitiligo and active herpes are also avoided.
What are the side effects?
Most clients see only mild redness or a warm sunburn sensation that resolves in 24–48 hours. Less common: temporary pigment change (more likely on tanned skin), follicle inflammation, blistering if aftercare is skipped.
Can I have laser while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Most clinics — Nova included — postpone laser during pregnancy as a precaution. Breastfeeding is generally fine for non-nipple areas. We'll discuss timing during your free consultation.
Men's laser hair removal
Discreet sessions, Adonis Full Body, Manzilian, beard preservation.
Is laser worth it for men?
Yes — male torso, shoulder and leg hair is dense and dark, exactly what the Alexandrite was designed for. Six sessions deliver ~80–90% long-term reduction, replacing years of waxing or shaving routines.
What is the Manzilian?
The Manzilian is a Brazilian for men — laser on the intimate area, per session. Discreet, appointment-only, one client per room.
What is the Adonis Full Body?
Nova's signature men's package — for 7 zones in one session: back, chest, shoulders, arms, legs, cheekbones, underarms. Two-hour-plus appointment.
Can I get my beard line lasered without ruining the beard?
Yes — the Cheekbones + Neck bundle treats above and below the beard line, leaving the beard itself untouched. We map out the beard line during the consultation.
Pricing & free repeat
Transparent care in EUR. The free repeat session guarantee.
Why is Nova's pricing published online?
Most Cyprus clinics make you book a consultation to learn the price. Nova publishes the full service list — see the full service list. No surprise upsells, no hidden fees, no consult-required gatekeeping.
How does the free repeat session work?
If a small patch reactivates after the standard plan — common with hormonal regrowth — Nova redoes that area free. Built into every laser booking automatically.
Are there bundles?
Yes — five active bundles (40% Bikini bundle, Cheekbones + Neck, Back + Chest, Upper Body, Adonis Full Body) plus the Lash + Brow combo. Save 13–40% versus separate booking.
Nails & beauty extras
Manicure systems, the medical-grade pedicure, lash lift and brow lamination.
What manicure systems does Nova offer?
Shellac, Rubber Base and Hard Gel — short and long versions of each. Manicure Nail Polish if you want a classic finish.
What's special about the Pedicure Full + Keratolytic + Color?
It's a medical-grade pedicure — keratolytic resurface to soften and remove hard skin, full pedicure care, and a colour finish. The flagship nail service at Nova.
How long does a Lash Lift last?
6–8 weeks of natural curl. Bundled with Eyebrow Lamination it's — saves versus separate booking.
