About Laser Hair Removal
What It Is
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light energy to target hair follicles beneath the skin. The laser is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, helping to reduce future growth over a series of treatments. It is commonly used on areas like the underarms, legs, bikini line, face, back, and arms, leaving the skin feeling smoother with less need for shaving or waxing.
How It Works
Laser hair removal works by using a specialized laser that sends light energy into the hair follicle beneath the skin. The pigment in the hair absorbs that light, which turns into heat and helps damage the follicle so it has a harder time growing hair back.
Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple treatments are needed to target the follicles when they are in the active growth stage. Over time, this leads to smoother skin, finer regrowth, and a long-term reduction in unwanted hair.
What to Expect
During your appointment, the treatment area will be cleansed and prepared before the laser is applied to the skin. You may feel a quick snapping or warm sensation as the laser targets the hair follicles, but the treatment is typically quick and well-tolerated.
Afterward, the area may look slightly red or feel warm, similar to a mild sunburn, but this usually fades shortly after. Over the next couple of weeks, treated hairs will begin to shed, and with each session, hair growth becomes lighter, finer, and less noticeable. Multiple treatments are recommended for the best long-term results.
