What Is Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal uses targeted laser energy to damage hair follicles at the root, reducing hair growth over a series of treatments. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are needed to treat follicles at different growth stages, resulting in a significant, long-term reduction in hair growth over time.

The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

  • Long-Term Reduction: Treatment targets hair at the follicle, leading to significantly less regrowth over time compared to shaving or waxing.
  • Less Daily Upkeep: Most patients spend far less time on hair removal once a treatment series is complete.
  • Precision Targeting: Laser energy targets hair follicles specifically, leaving surrounding skin unaffected.
  • Works on Multiple Areas: Treatment can be applied to the face, legs, underarms, bikini area, and more, depending on your goals.
  • No Ingrown Hairs: Because hair isn't being pulled from the root the way waxing does, laser hair removal reduces the ingrown hairs that often come with other methods.
