If you work, study or live around Mecidiyeköy, you don't need to cross the city for laser hair removal. Renew & Revive Beauty is a beauty salon on Abide-i Hürriyet Avenue, right next to Mecidiyeköy and reachable on foot from the metro and metrobus. Below you'll find how to get here, which areas we treat for women and men, and what happens at your first appointment.
Getting Here from Mecidiyeköy
Our address is Merkez Mah., Abide-i Hürriyet Cad. Üçler Apt. No:141, Floor 1, Flat 1, Şişli.
- By M2 metro: get off at Şişli-Mecidiyeköy station and walk along Abide-i Hürriyet Avenue to number 141.
- By metrobus: get off at the Mecidiyeköy stop and walk over to Abide-i Hürriyet Avenue.
The salon is on the first floor of the Üçler building. Many of our clients from the Mecidiyeköy offices book around their working day, so tell us which areas you want treated when you book: small areas such as the upper lip or underarms are quick, while the back or full legs take longer.
Diode Ice Laser: Why Four Wavelengths?
Laser light targets the pigment (melanin) in the hair root and disables the follicle with heat. A single wavelength does not suit every hair and skin type equally well. Our Megatron 4D Diode combines 755, 808, 940 and 1064 nm:
| Wavelength | Typical use |
|---|---|
| 755 nm | Fair skin, finer and lighter hair |
| 808 nm | The classic diode wavelength, balanced for most skin and hair types |
| 940 nm | Deeper roots and medium-to-olive skin |
| 1064 nm | Darker skin tones and coarse, deep-rooted hair |
Sapphire contact cooling keeps the skin surface cool with every pulse, which is why it is often called an "ice laser". For a comparison of laser types, read Alexandrite vs diode.
Laser Hair Removal for Women
Most of our female clients start with the underarms, legs and bikini line. Facial areas such as the upper lip and chin can be affected by hormones, so they are usually scheduled at shorter intervals.
See every area on our female hair removal page.
Men's Laser Hair Removal near Mecidiyeköy
Men's hair is usually thicker, darker and denser, with deeper roots. That makes it easy for the laser to "see", but the first sessions can feel more intense and some areas may need a few more sessions than they would for women. For men we typically build the settings around 940 and 1064 nm.
- Beard line: shaping the upper beard line (cheeks) and neckline, popular with men tired of razor bumps.
- Nape, back and shoulders: nape and back are large areas where regular sessions bring visible reduction.
- Chest, arms and legs: for athletes and anyone who wants to feel lighter in summer.
- Intimate area: male genital laser hair removal with a dedicated privacy and comfort plan.
All men's areas are listed on our male hair removal page. If shaving leaves you with bumps, see ingrown hair in men.
What Happens at Your First Appointment?
- A short chat about the areas you want, previous laser or waxing, medication and sun exposure.
- Hair and skin assessment of hair colour, thickness, density and skin tone.
- Patch test on a small area with a starting setting, and we check how it feels.
- Session plan with intervals and an estimated number of sessions per area.
This first consultation is free and doesn't tie you to a package. Details: free hair analysis and laser patch test.
Typical Session Intervals by Area
| Area | Usual interval |
|---|---|
| Face (upper lip, chin, beard line) | 4–6 weeks |
| Underarms, bikini, intimate area | 5–7 weeks |
| Arms, legs, chest | 6–8 weeks |
| Back, shoulders, buttocks | 8–10 weeks |
These are general industry ranges; your plan follows your own hair cycle. Curious about the sensation? Our laser pain map explains it area by area.
Before Your Session
- Shave the area with a razor the day before; stop waxing, tweezing and epilators.
- Avoid sunbathing and tanning beds for two weeks beforehand.
- Tell us about any medication, especially antibiotics or acne treatments.
During pregnancy, with an active infection or wound in the area, or if you suspect hormonal hair growth, a doctor's assessment is recommended first.

Do you offer laser hair removal for men?
Yes. We have dedicated plans for the beard line, nape, back, shoulders, chest, arms, legs and intimate area.
How many sessions do men need?

Does diode ice laser hurt?
Sapphire contact cooling keeps the skin cool; most people describe a quick snap and warmth. It feels stronger in the first sessions and eases as hair thins.

The 1064 nm wavelength on our device allows safer settings for olive and darker skin. We confirm suitability with a patch test.
How should I prepare for my first appointment?
Shave the area with a razor the day before, avoid waxing and tweezing, skip sunbathing for two weeks and let us know about any medication.
