Laser Hair Removal

What is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing or permanently removing unwanted hair. It’s a long-term hair reduction method that is safe and effective for most skin types.

How Does It Work?

A laser device emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The laser light turns into heat, which harms the hair roots and slows down or stops future hair growth.

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal:

Long-lasting results compared to shaving and waxing

✅ Reduces ingrown hairs

✅ Smoother skin with fewer irritations

✅ Suitable for multiple body areas (face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, etc.)

✅ Fast and precise treatment

Popular Treatment Areas:

Face (upper lip, chin, sideburns)

Arms & Underarms

Legs

Bikini Line & Brazilian

Back & Chest (for men)

What to Expect During the Procedure:

The area is cleaned, and a cooling gel might be used.

Laser Application – The laser is adjusted based on skin and hair type.

Post-Treatment Care – Mild redness may occur, but it usually subsides within a few hours.

Pre-Treatment Guidelines:

✔️ Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment

✔️ Shave the area 24 hours before the procedure (do not wax or pluck)

✔️ Avoid skin-irritating products like retinoids before the session

Post-Treatment Care:

🔹 Apply soothing aloe vera or cold compress to reduce redness

🔹 Avoid sun exposure and wear SPF 30+ sunscreen

🔹 Do not wax or pluck hair between sessions

🔹 Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 24-48 hours

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Most people need 6–8 sessions, with a 4–6 week gap between each. Yearly touch-up sessions may be needed.

Who is a Good Candidate?

Works best on light skin with dark hair (but newer lasers work on all skin tones)

Not ideal for white, gray, red, or very light blonde hair

Avoid if pregnant or taking photosensitizing medications
