Laser hair removal is one of the most popular aesthetic treatments for reducing unwanted hair. It works by targeting the pigment in hair follicles with focused light energy, which slows future hair growth over time.
Before your session, the skin should be clean and free of lotions, oils, or makeup. Sun exposure should be avoided prior to treatment, as tanned skin can increase sensitivity. Shaving the area is typically recommended so the laser can focus directly on the hair follicle beneath the skin.
During the procedure, most clients describe the sensation as mild warmth or light snapping against the skin. Treatment time varies depending on the size of the area being treated. Smaller areas can take just a few minutes, while larger areas may take longer.
After the session, temporary redness or sensitivity is normal and usually subsides within a few hours. Proper aftercare includes avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and applying sunscreen regularly.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are necessary for optimal results. Treatments are usually spaced several weeks apart to effectively target hair during its active growth phase.
