Laser Hair Reduction – Smooth, Hair-Free Skin
Laser Hair Reduction is a quick, effective, and relatively painless procedure that removes hair from the root while preserving the surrounding skin. Large areas of the body can be treated simultaneously, making it an efficient solution for unwanted hair.
This treatment is suitable for all skin types and can also help manage ingrown hairs and shaving bumps. With no downtime, patients can resume regular activities immediately after the procedure.
How Many Treatments Are Needed?
The number of sessions depends on hair density, location, and skin type. Hair grows in staggered cycles, and the laser only targets follicles in the active growth phase. Previously dormant follicles may grow later, so multiple sessions are necessary for optimal results.
A typical course consists of 6 to 10 sessions, spaced 4 to 8 weeks apart.
Can Hair Be Permanently Removed?
Laser treatment offers Permanent Hair Reduction, not permanent removal. With each session, hair becomes finer, lighter, and slower-growing. Occasional touch-up sessions may be needed to maintain smooth, silky skin.
Preparation Before Treatment
-
Avoid sunbathing or tanning for at least 4 weeks.
-
Refrain from waxing, plucking, or electrolysis prior to treatment.
-
Do not over-shave in the days before treatment, as short stubble is necessary for accurate laser targeting.
-
Avoid deodorants, perfumes, or creams at the treatment area on the day of your appointment.
Is the Treatment Painful?
Most clients tolerate the treatment well, experiencing only a tingling sensation similar to a snap of a rubber band on the skin. Comfort can be enhanced using a cool pack or cold air during the procedure.
