Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light (laser) to target and destroy hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which heats up and damages the follicles1.

Key Points:

1. Effectiveness: It can reduce hair growth by up to 90%. Multiple sessions are usually required for optimal results2.
2. Suitability: Suitable for most skin types and tones, and can be used on various body areas, including sensitive regions like the face and bikini line.
3. Procedure: Sessions typically last between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. A series of 6-12 treatments, spaced 4-6 weeks apart, is common3.
4. Preparation: Avoid sun exposure, waxing, and using topical creams on the treatment area before sessions.
5. Aftercare: Skin may be sensitive post-treatment, so it’s important to follow aftercare instructions to avoid irritation.
