Laser Hair Reduction – Long-Lasting Smooth and Hair-Free Skin
Laser hair reduction safely removes unwanted hair from face and body. A quick, painless, and effective way to achieve smooth skin with lasting results.
Laser Hair Removal
Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that targets and reduces unwanted body hair. It works by using concentrated beams of light (lasers) that are absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. The heat damages the follicle, slowing or preventing future hair growth.

What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a safe, noninvasive cosmetic procedure that helps reduce unwanted hair from different areas of the body. Unlike shaving or waxing, it offers longer-lasting results and smoother skin.
Common treatment areas include:
Face (upper lip, chin)
Underarms
Bikini area / pubic hair
Back
Legs and arms
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
The treatment uses a process called selective photothermolysis:
A laser beam targets pigment (melanin) in the hair.
Dark hair absorbs the heat, which then destroys the hair follicle.
Once destroyed, the follicle can no longer grow new hair.
Since hair follicles grow in cycles, the laser works best when the follicle is in its anagen (growth) stage. Because not all hairs are in this stage at the same time, multiple treatment sessions (usually 4–6) are needed for best results.
Who Can Have Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is suitable for most people with unwanted hair. It is usually done for cosmetic reasons, to reduce shaving and waxing, and to improve appearance and confidence.
It can also help treat excessive hair growth caused by:
Hirsutism: Dark, coarse hair growth in women (in areas men usually have hair).
Hypertrichosis: Excessive hair growth in both men and women.
These conditions may be linked to:
Hormone imbalances (elevated testosterone or androgens)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
Certain medications (e.g., anabolic steroids, some birth control pills)
Genetic (inherited) disorders
Hormone-producing tumors
Who Gets the Best Results?
Most effective: People with light skin and dark, coarse hair, since the contrast makes it easier for the laser to target pigment.
Less effective: People with dark skin or with blonde, gray, white, or red hair, as the laser cannot always distinguish between skin and hair color.

Who Should Avoid Laser Hair Removal?
While laser hair removal is generally safe, it may not be suitable for everyone. Always consult your healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure. You may need to avoid laser treatment if you:
Are pregnant – Safety during pregnancy hasn’t been established.
Are taking certain medications – Especially acne treatments like isotretinoin (Accutane®), which can increase skin sensitivity and risk of scarring.
Have active infections – Such as genital herpes (HSV-2) or a history of frequent cold sores, as laser treatment may trigger outbreaks.
Have keloid scars – If you’re prone to raised, thick scars, laser treatments may increase this risk.
Have or have had skin cancer – Laser exposure may not be safe in such cases.
⚠️ Important: People with very dark skin or very light-colored hair may also experience less effective results, and certain lasers may not be recommended for them.
Treatment Details
How should I prepare for laser hair removal?
Avoid tanning beds and minimize sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before the procedure, as tanned skin can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and increase the risk of side effects.
Shave the treatment area 2–3 days before your session. The laser targets hair at the follicle level, and shaving ensures the right length (no longer than a grain of rice).
Do not wax, tweeze, or pluck hair once your treatment course has started, as these methods remove the hair root needed for laser targeting.
What happens during laser hair removal?
The treatment area will be cleaned.
You’ll be given protective glasses or goggles, and your provider will also wear protective eyewear.
The laser device will be applied to your skin. The sensation may feel like quick stings or a rubber band snapping against your skin.
The session duration depends on the treatment area—it can take just a few minutes for small areas (like the upper lip) or up to an hour for larger areas (like the legs or back).
You may notice a smell of smoke or burning hair, which is completely normal as the laser destroys the hair follicles.
What happens after laser hair removal?
Your skin may appear red, slightly swollen, or tender, similar to a mild sunburn.
Apply a cold compress to soothe the area if needed.
Avoid direct sunlight and tanning beds on treated skin until it fully heals.
You can return to normal daily activities immediately, though it’s recommended to avoid hot showers, saunas, and heavy workouts for at least 24 hours.
