Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted light energy to reduce unwanted hair. The laser safely penetrates the skin to target hair follicles, slowing and reducing future hair growth without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Common treatment areas include:
-
Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)
-
Underarms
-
Bikini area
-
Legs
-
Back and chest
Laser hair removal is ideal for patients seeking a long-term alternative to shaving, waxing, or plucking.
During treatment, concentrated light energy is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. This heat damages the follicle and inhibits future hair growth. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to achieve optimal results.
Over time, treated hair becomes finer, lighter, and significantly reduced.
Laser hair removal is performed in-office and typically takes just minutes to an hour, depending on the area treated.
You may experience mild warmth or snapping sensation during treatment, and slight redness or sensitivity afterward. Most patients return to normal activities immediately.
Sun protection is recommended following treatment to protect the treated skin.
