How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Lasers can be applied to the skin to achieve a variety of effects that leave the skin smoother and cause hair growth to slow or stop. Depending upon the duration of the laser light wavelength and pulse, the laser can penetrate deeply to affect the hair follicles. However, sometimes a quick laser treatment can be useful, especially when addressing large areas of unwanted hair.

FAQs of Laser Hair Removal
Are there any limitations to who can get laser hair removal?
The area to be treated should have hair that is dark enough to see.
Will laser hair removal hurt?
Most patients find laser hair removal to be a comfortable experience, and the risks of having laser hair removal are minimal. However, every patient is unique, and our team always takes the time to see how a patient’s skin reacts to treatment and adjust as necessary.
How effective is laser hair removal?
When applied by a professional, lasers can remove about 95% of unwanted hair in seven to nine sessions.
Can I just do laser hair removal at home?
Although at-home laser hair removal is popular, most at-home lasers are limited in terms of their effectiveness. Plus, they take a long time to work. If you have a sizable area of hair to remove, working with a professional can save time, money and effort. It may also reduce your risk of experiencing unintentional burns or purchasing a non-FDA-approved laser device.
Is shaving okay after laser hair removal?
It is best to wait three or four days after each laser hair removal session before shaving to reduce any chance of skin irritation.
