Laser Hair Removal
Long-term hair reduction using targeted laser energy
Overview
Laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair follicle with focused light energy, damaging the follicle's ability to regrow hair over a series of sessions.
Because hair grows in cycles and the laser is most effective on follicles in an active growth phase, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are needed to treat all follicles as they cycle through.

Recovery & Aftercare
There's minimal downtime — most patients resume normal activities the same day, with sun protection recommended for the treated area between sessions. A typical course involves 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance sessions.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It provides long-term hair reduction rather than guaranteed permanent removal — most patients see a significant, lasting reduction in hair growth, with occasional fine regrowth that maintenance sessions can address.
How many sessions will I need?
Most patients need a course of 6–8 sessions to treat hair across its full growth cycle, though this varies by area and hair type.
Does it hurt?
Most patients describe a brief snapping or warm sensation with each pulse — generally well tolerated, and cooling is used to keep the skin comfortable during treatment.
