Laser Hair Removal
Permanent hair reduction using advanced laser technology. Learn about different laser types, treatment process, and what to expect from laser hair removal treatments.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles. The laser emits a specific wavelength that is absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair, converting light energy to heat that damages the follicle.
This process is most effective during the active growth phase of hair (anagen phase), which is why multiple treatments are needed to catch all hairs in their growth cycle.
