Laser hair removal targets individual hair follicles with pulsing light waves. The laser causes permanent damage to the follicle without harming surrounding tissues. Compared to every other hair removal technique, lasers are more effective and less painful. The treatment received FDA approval as a means of permanent hair reduction in 1997. In the two decades since then, the technology has continued evolving and improving.
For optimum results, we recommend multiple sessions, 6 to 10, with one to two months between appointments. Laser hair removal is most effective on darker hair and lighter skin. Your skin and hair color impacts the number of treatments you’ll need.
