What is Laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is a widely popular cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (lasers) to target and remove unwanted hair. It is one of the most effective and long-lasting methods for reducing hair growth, providing smoother skin and significantly reducing the need for frequent shaving, waxing, or plucking.

How Laser Hair Removal Works ?

  • During a laser hair removal session, a handheld device emits highly concentrated light energy into the hair follicles.

  • The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light energy, which is converted into heat. This heat damages the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.

  • Laser hair removal targets hair in the active growth phase (anagen phase), which is why multiple sessions are needed to target all hair follicles effectively.

What to Expect During Treatment?

  • Before the procedure, a consultation with a trained professional is conducted to assess your skin type, hair color, and overall suitability for laser hair removal. This step ensures the treatment is personalized and safe for your specific needs.

​

  • During the treatment session, a cooling device may be applied to the skin to minimize discomfort and protect the surface. The laser device is then used on the treatment area, delivering short pulses of laser light. You may feel a mild snapping or warming sensation as the laser targets the hair follicles.

​

  • The length of each session varies depending on the size and number of areas being treated, offering flexibility and convenience.
