WHAT IS LASER HAIR REDUCTION?
Laser treatment for hair reduction is a gentle, non-invasive method to permanently reduce or eliminate undesired hair from all parts of the body. The procedure safely eliminates unwanted hair, the laser emits gentle pulses of energy that pass through the skin to the hair follicle. The energy is then absorbed into the hair follicle where it effectively destroys it and reduces the rate at which the hair can grow. Treatment sensation is often described as a ‘flick of an elastic band’; you will also feel cold air blowing across the skin. After treatment the skin may look red and slightly swollen, this is normal and generally disappears within 24 hours. The number of recommended sessions depends upon individual factors, but typically an average of six to twelve treatments are required with interval session necessary every four to six weeks. Proper timing of treatments is essential for best results and can be discussed in a consultation. Clients can expect up to a 75 percent reduction in hair growth upon treatment completion.
