Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses concentrated beams of light that target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles. The laser energy is absorbed by the dark pigment in the hair shaft and follicle, which converts the light into heat. This heat damages the hair follicle's ability to produce new hair, significantly reducing future hair growth.

The treatment is most effective on dark, coarse hair because it contains more melanin to absorb the laser energy. Multiple sessions are required because hair grows in cycles, and the laser only affects hair in the active growth phase. Most clients need multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results.

The process is relatively quick - small areas like the upper lip take just minutes, while larger areas like legs may take 30-60 minutes. Most people experience some temporary redness and mild discomfort during treatment, similar to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
