How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target and disable hair follicles, preventing future growth. During the treatment, a specialized laser emits pulses of light that absorb into the melanin (pigment) in the hair, converting to heat and safely disabling the follicle. Over time, this significantly reduces hair growth—no more shaving, waxing, or tweezing needed!
The Science Behind Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal works through a process called selective photothermolysis, where light energy is absorbed by the hair follicle and transformed into heat. This damages the follicle just enough to stop it from growing new hair—without harming the surrounding skin.
Why Multiple Sessions Are Needed
Hair grows in cycles, but only hairs in the active growth phase (anagen phase) can effectively absorb laser energy. Since not all hairs are in this phase at once, multiple treatments are needed to catch each hair at the right time and achieve smooth, lasting results.
Is Laser Hair Removal Permanent?
While laser hair removal drastically reduces hair growth, it’s not always permanent. Some hair may return over time, but it’s usually lighter and finer. Occasional touch-ups keep skin silky-smooth in the long run.
Factors That Affect Your Results
Several factors influence how well laser hair removal works, including:
✔ Skin tone – We only use the most innovative laser technology that treats ALL skin types safely and effectively
✔ Hair color — Since our lasers target pigment in hair, we can’t treat body hair that’s blonde, red, grey, or white, but we can treat pretty much any other color!
✔ Hair thickness – Coarser, darker hair responds best to treatment.
✔ Treatment area – Some areas (like the face) may need more sessions due to hormonal hair growth patterns.
✔ Laser technology – The type of laser used makes a huge difference in safety and effectiveness.
