What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a clinically proven, non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated light energy to significantly reduce unwanted hair. The laser targets pigment (melanin) in hair follicles, converting light to heat to disable the follicle at its root—slowing or preventing future hair growth. Because hair grows in cycles and only the active anagen phase can be treated, multiple sessions spaced 3–8 weeks apart are needed for optimal results. Most clients benefit from 6–8 sessions or more.
Why It Works Better Than Other Methods
- Targets the root of the hair—not just surface hair like shaving or waxing—delivering longer-lasting reduction.
- Clinically shown to reduce hair density significantly over time—typically around 70% after a course of treatments.
- Safe and flexible when performed by medical professionals, minimizing adverse side effects.
How It Works: Treatment Overview
- Preparation & Consultation: Skin tone, hair type, and history with sun exposure are assessed to customize treatment.
- Laser Application: A trained provider delivers pulses of laser light absorbed by melanin, heating the follicle root. Some lasers utilize cooling technologies for enhanced comfort.
- Natural Shedding: Treated hairs shed over 2–3 weeks—avoid plucking to prevent irritation.
- Multiple Sessions: Since not all follicles grow simultaneously, sessions are spaced every 4–8 weeks for full coverage.

Who’s an Ideal Candidate?
Laser hair removal is most effective when there is a strong contrast between hair color and skin tone—e.g., dark hair on lighter skin. It works less well for fine, light, red, gray, or white hair.
