LASER HAIR REMOVAL

About Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair reduction(laser hair removal) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light to target and reduce unwanted hair. It’s not permanent hair removal, but it does significantly reduce hair growth over time, making hair finer, lighter, and slower to come back.

Most people need a series of treatments—usually spaced 4–6 weeks apart—to get the best results.

How it works

  1. The laser emits a light that’s absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair.

  2. The light energy heats up the hair follicle and damages it.

  3. This damage slows down or stops future hair growth.

Since the laser targets pigment, it works best on darker hair. Technology has improved a lot, and now there are lasers designed for a wider range of skin tones and hair types.
