Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a non-surgical, non-invasive method of removing unwanted hair. A laser beam travels through the skin and is attracted to the pigment in the hair. The energy then flows to the hair follicle growth cells to inhibit further hair growth.

FDA approved Alexandrite and ND Yag hair removal lasers for permanent hair reduction.
How Laser Hair removal Works
- Hair grows in cycles. For Permanent reduction, the hair needs to be in an active growth face, therefore most patients need 6-10 treatments spaced at least 4 to 8 weeks apart for an optimal result. At least 10 for a 25% reduction in hair growth can be expected with each treatment.
​
- The area to be treated is usually shaved first to ensure a faster treatment with less discomfort.
​
- Most patients experience mild pinching of the skin as the laser hand piece moves over the hair.
Side effects are usually mild.
