Laser Hair Removal

Expected results

• Studies have shown that nine out of 10 laser hair removal patients who had between three and five treatment sessions achieved the permanent hair removal they were seeking.
• About 10 percent to 25 percent reduction in hair growth can be expected with each treatment.
• The hair that regrows following treatment tends to be lighter and finer in texture.

How does It work?
During laser hair removal sessions, a laser beam penetrates the skin and targets hair follicles to prevent future hair growth.

Treatment is typically quick, although how long a session lasts depends on the individual patient and the size of the area that is receiving laser treatment. Smaller areas like the underarms may only take about 15 minutes, but larger areas like legs or back could take longer.

Laser hair removal also boasts no recovery time. Patients return to their normal routines right away.
