It provides long-term hair reduction, but maintenance sessions may be required. Most people experience up to 90% hair reduction after completing a full course.
Overview
Laser hair removal is a safe, effective, and long-lasting solution for reducing unwanted hair on the face and body. It uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles at the root, resulting in smoother skin and a significant reduction in hair regrowth over time. Suitable for both men and women, laser hair removal can be performed on all skin types using advanced technology.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
- The laser emits a beam of highly concentrated light that is absorbed by melanin (pigment) in the hair.
- This light energy is converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle, inhibiting or delaying future growth.
- Since laser targets pigment, it is most effective on dark hair against light to medium skin, although newer technologies can safely treat darker skin tones as well.
- Multiple sessions are needed to treat hair during the active growth phase (anagen) for long-term results.
