Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused light energy to target hair follicles beneath the skin. The pigment in the hair absorbs this energy, which helps disrupt the hair growth cycle over time.
This type of hair removal laser treatment is commonly used for areas with unwanted facial hair or body hair, such as the underarms, upper lip, legs, and bikini line. Instead of removing hair at the surface, it works below the skin to support gradual and long-term hair reduction.
During laser hair removal, controlled pulses of light are delivered into the skin to reach the hair follicles. The energy is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which helps reduce the follicle’s ability to regrow hair over time.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are usually needed to target hairs at the right stage of growth. With consistent sessions, many patients notice reduced hair growth and finer regrowth in treated areas. Treatment settings are adjusted based on your skin type, hair thickness, and the area being treated to ensure a safe and tailored approach.
