Laser hair removal is a medical practice that uses focused light beams to eliminate unwanted hair. During the treatment, the laser emits light with a certain wavelength, focusing on melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The hair takes in this light and then converts it into heat, effectively damaging the follicle to prevent future hair growth. The face, arms, legs, underarms, bikini line, and back are some areas where this method works well. Since hair grows at different times, multiple sessions are typically required to achieve optimal results.
Laser Hair Removal works for individuals who want less hair growth within specific parts of their bodies. The best candidates are white skin and dark hair, but technologies have made it effective even for those with a wider range of skin colors. It usually takes a few visits before any noticeable change happens; however, after 6-8 treatments, hair growth will be significantly reduced. Commonly, this means several months up to years of smooth-skinned results, depending on an individual’s hair growth pattern.

Avoid too much sun for two weeks prior to your laser hair removal appointment. Additionally, you must have shaved the area being treated 24 hours before your appointment, and no waxing or plucking is allowed.
The treatment has no side effects and requires minimal recovery time, allowing you to go back to your normal activities immediately. Nonetheless, staying away from rigorous exercises, hot showers, and direct sun contact within 24 hours post-treatment is always recommended.
