what is laser hair removal ?
Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment designed to reduce unwanted hair on areas like the face, arms, legs, underarms, and bikini line. The procedure uses concentrated laser light that penetrates the skin and targets hair follicles, damaging them to slow or stop future hair growth. Treatments are typically done over multiple sessions spaced a few weeks apart to catch hairs in their growth phase. LHR is precise, quick, and generally safe for most skin types, offering long-lasting results with minimal discomfort compared to traditional methods like waxing, shaving, or threading. Some sessions may cause temporary redness or mild swelling, but there is no significant downtime.
Procedure
Laser Hair Removal involves applying a concentrated laser light to the targeted area. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle, which heats and damages it, inhibiting future hair growth. Multiple sessions (usually 6–8) are needed to treat hairs in different growth phases. The treatment is quick, minimally uncomfortable, and requires little to no downtime.
Benefits
LHR provides long-lasting hair reduction, smoother skin, and precise targeting of unwanted hair. It is faster and more efficient than shaving or waxing, reduces ingrown hairs, and is suitable for most body areas and skin types.
