Who is it for?

Men and women of all ages who want permanent hair reduction.

What is the procedure?

Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair.

Common treatment locations include legs, armpits, upper lip, chin and the bikini line.

How does the treatment work?

During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.

Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have light skin and dark hair, but it can be successfully used on all skin types.

Benefits of the treatment

Comfortable, no downtime.

Duration of treatment

The treatment takes 10-60 minutes depending on the number of areas to be treated.

 

How many sessions are required?

Laser hair removal usually requires two to six treatments. The treatment is carried out every five to six weeks.

Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, it usually doesn’t result in permanent hair removal. Multiple laser hair removal treatments are needed for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments might be needed as well.

 

Downtime

There is now downtime and patients are free to carry on with any normal day to day physical activities and normal routine.

However, temporary discomfort, redness and swelling are possible after laser hair removal. Any signs and symptoms typically disappear within several hours.
