Overview of Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular and effective cosmetic procedure designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted hair on various areas of the body. Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that utilizes concentrated beams of light & heat to target and damage hair follicles, ultimately inhibiting their ability to grow new hair. Laser hair removal offers a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair, providing smooth and virtually hairless skin!
How does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal employs lasers devices that emit highly concentrated light beams that selectively target melanin, the pigment in hair follicles, without affecting the surrounding skin.The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicle, converting into heat. This heat damages the follicle, inhibiting its ability to produce new hair. The treatment is most effective on brown or black hair, and multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results.
Why do we love Laser Hair Removal?
Little to NO shaving, are you kidding me?! One of the best parts of LHR is the time you save from not having to shave or shave as often. The elimination or reduction of razor bumps and in-grown hairs are another added benefit. Laser Hair Removal is an office favorite.
Will Laser Hair Removal work on blonde hair?

Am I a candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Many individuals are candidates for laser hair removal. It is best to speak with a professional to discuss treatment options. A provider will need to assess the treatment area and discuss the pre & post care for laser hair removal.
How many sessions will I need?
Laser Hair Removal is offered in sessions of 6 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks a part. Laser Hair Removal works best in a hair’s Anagen Phase (Growth phase). It is important to note that not all hair is in the Anagen phase simultaneously, and hair follicles go through different phases independently. This is why multiple sessions of laser hair removal are required.
