Laser hair removal

Laser hair reduction, also known as laser hair removal, is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The heat generated by the laser damages the hair follicles, inhibiting or delaying future hair growth.

During the procedure, the laser device is passed over the target area, emitting pulses of light. The pigment in the hair follicles absorbs the light, and the heat generated damages the follicles, preventing or slowing down hair growth. Multiple sessions are usually required to target hair in different stages of growth. The number of sessions needed varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the treated area.

It's essential to note that while laser hair reduction can lead to a significant reduction in hair growth, it may not result in permanent hair removal. Maintenance sessions may be required to manage any regrowth.
