What Is Laser Hair Reduction?

Permanently reduce the amount of unwanted hair that grows in any given area successfully and with minimal, if any, discomfort. Laser hair reduction is safe and effective, targeting the pigment within hair follicles while leaving surrounding skin intact and healthy. Much faster and far less painful than electrolysis, laser hair reduction sends pulses of laser energy at about one pulse per second. This process continues over the entire treatment area, typically taking only a few minutes to complete.

How It Works

Hair reduction lasers beam highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Each time the light hits hair follicles, a large number are affected simultaneously, even those from which hair has not reached the surface. Pigment in the follicles absorbs the light and converts it to heat energy, which disables the hair follicle so that it will not produce another hair. Laser hair reduction, like any hair removal treatment, is completed in stages.
