How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light to remove unwanted hair by damaging the hair follicles. The lasers used in this process emit a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting light energy to heat that damages the hair follicles. Typically, a series of laser hair removal treatments is needed to achieve optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be required for long-term hair reduction. It is strongly recommended to have this procedure done by a certified professional to avoid risks and complications.

What To Expect During a Laser Hair Removal Session
During a laser hair removal session, you can generally expect the following steps.
- Consultation: The session will begin with a consultation with a professional laser hair removal technician. They will assess your skin type, hair color, and medical history to determine if you are a suitable candidate for laser hair removal.
- Eye protection: You will be provided with eye protection, such as goggles or shields, to shield your eyes from the laser during the treatment.
- Laser application: The technician will use a handheld device that emits a concentrated beam of light (laser) on the treatment area. The laser energy is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, converting it to heat. This heat damages the hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
- Sensations: During the laser application, you may feel a mild sensation of heat or a rubber band snapping against your skin. However, our advanced laser devices incorporate cooling mechanisms to minimize discomfort.
- Treatment duration: The duration of a laser hair removal session can vary depending on the size of the treatment area. Smaller areas, such as the upper lip, may take only a few minutes, while larger areas like the legs or back may take longer.
- Post-treatment care: After the session, the technician may apply soothing creams or cooling agents to the treated area to minimize any temporary redness or irritation.
- Multiple sessions: Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart. This is because the treatment is most effective during the active growth phase of the hair, and not all hair follicles are active at the same time.

FAQ
Q. How permanent is laser hair removal?
Is it really permanent? In short, no. Laser hair removal works by heating the hair follicles to stop new hairs from growing. This puts the hair follicles in a state of dormancy for a long period of time — much longer than with shaving and waxing.
Q. How painful is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is designed to target hair follicles with tiny high-heat laser beams. While you may not feel the heat, you may feel like your skin is being snapped with a rubber band. You may also experience mild discomfort after the procedure, such as redness and irritation similar to a mild sunburn.
Q. How long will laser hair removal last?
six to 12 months
Even then, some hair may eventually grow back. While “permanent” laser hair removal is a misnomer, after six to eight treatments, you can expect a marked reduction in hair. Any regrowth can be managed with touch-up treatments every six to 12 months.
Q. Do you shave before laser hair removal?
Shave, don’t wax! Instead, shave the treatment area 12-14 hours before your appointment. A clean shave with a sharp razor is must, we don’t want the laser targeting longer hairs that sit above the skin, as this runs the risk of causing burns.
Q. Will Hair Grow Back After Laser
IPL and they are forms of long-term hair reduction. While they can result in the inhibition of hair growth, results won’t necessarily be permanent, and you may need an occasional maintenance session to keep on top of it. However, many people have found both IPL and laser removal to be very successful, finding hair growth reduced by up to 80% and the hair that does grow is often thinner, slower and less noticeable.
