Laser Hair Reduction Q&A
What is laser hair reduction?
Laser hair reduction is a popular cosmetic treatment that can permanently decrease the amount of hair on your face and/or body. The laser targets hair follicles, preventing future growth in treated areas.
You can expect smoother skin and a reduction in ingrown hairs after a few sessions. The results last much longer than traditional methods like shaving or waxing.
How does laser reduction work?
Laser hair reduction uses a focused beam of light that targets the pigment in hair follicles. The laser heats the follicle, damaging it to slow down or stop future hair growth. During each session, the laser treats multiple hairs in the targeted area. Over time, the follicles weaken and the hair grows back thinner and lighter until it may stop growing altogether.
Who should consider laser hair reduction?
If you’re tired of the constant upkeep of temporary hair removal methods, laser hair reduction is a great choice. It's especially effective for people with darker hair and lighter skin, as the laser targets the pigment in the hair. Lasers can target unwanted hair on nearly any area, including your:
- Legs
- Arms
- Underarms
- Bikini line
- Face
- Back
- Chest
- Abdomen
- Neck
Whether you want to reduce hair in a specific area or all over, this treatment can help simplify your grooming routine.
How long does laser hair reduction take?
A typical session usually lasts between 15 and 60 minutes, depending on the size and number of areas treated. Most people need at least 2-6 sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to experience permanent hair reduction.
Is laser hair reduction permanent?
Laser hair reduction offers long-lasting results, but it's not always completely permanent. The treatment significantly reduces hair growth and, in many cases, the hair that does grow back is finer and lighter. You may need occasional touch-up treatments to maintain the results, especially in areas prone to hormonal changes, like your face.
