Frequently asked questions
How does it work?
Medical-grade laser hair removal uses concentrated light energy to target the pigment (melanin) in unwanted hair. The laser energy is absorbed by the hair and converted into heat, which damages the hair follicle and reduces its ability to produce hair.
Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple treatment sessions are usually needed to target hairs during the appropriate growth phase. Over a series of treatments, hair typically becomes finer, lighter, and less noticeable.
