**Editor’s Note:** Smartduck expands its Paris footprint with a seventh location in Gambetta, reinforcing its commitment to accessible, modern laser hair removal for all.
After establishing centers in Saint-Lazare, Voltaire, Grande Armée, Châtelet, Convention, and Les Gobelins, Smartduck continues its Parisian expansion by opening in Gambetta. This new center is designed to offer a modern, comfortable, and personalized experience in a dedicated laser hair removal environment.
Founded at the end of 2024 by Hervé Corlay, Smartduck was born with the ambition to democratize laser hair removal. The brand aims to make this technology accessible to a wider audience through a pricing policy that offers prices approximately 35% lower than those generally practiced in the market. Beyond price, the brand also emphasizes an educational approach designed to better inform clients about how laser hair removal works, the different stages of treatment, and the expected results. This commitment to transparency is an integral part of the brand’s positioning, which seeks to simplify a market often perceived as complex.
Smartduck’s development is based on three pillars: accessibility, respect, and expertise. Accessibility is reflected in competitive pricing and a desire to make information understandable for everyone. Respect concerns both client support and consideration of their time, budget, and expectations. Finally, expertise relies on the use of next-generation diode laser technology and clearly defined care protocols.
With this new Parisian location, Smartduck confirms its development pace. The brand already has around thirty centers spread across several major French cities, including Marseille, Lyon, Bordeaux, Nantes, Strasbourg, Grenoble, and Montpellier. The network continues its expansion through a franchise model that allows it to accelerate its presence across the entire territory. Its goal is now to reach 70 open centers by the end of 2026, while maintaining the principles that accompanied its launch: accessible treatments, standardized protocols, and a refined client experience. This new opening in Paris Gambetta marks another step in Smartduck’s ambition to become one of the major players in laser hair removal in France.
