About Laser Hair Removal
What Is Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal uses targeted light energy to reduce hair growth. Common areas include the upper lip, chin, underarms, arms, legs, bikini area and back.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
The laser targets pigment in the hair follicle, heating it to disable future growth while protecting the surrounding skin. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is needed to treat each follicle in its active growth phase.
What to Expect
Sessions range from a few minutes for small areas to about an hour for larger areas. You will feel a quick snap, often compared to a rubber band. Treated hairs shed over one to three weeks.
