Laser Hair Removal

Understanding Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair reduction uses light energy to target pigment in growing hair follicles. Because follicles cycle through growth phases, a series of sessions is commonly needed.

Who should consider this treatment?

A consultation should review skin tone, hair color, recent tanning, medications and treatment-area sensitivity.

Results, safety and aftercare

Temporary redness or swelling can occur; burns, pigment changes and scarring are less common but important risks. Sun protection and the provider’s aftercare instructions matter.

Questions to ask during your consultation

• What is the exact technology or product being used, and is it appropriate for my concerns?
• What benefits are realistic for my skin or body type, and how will progress be evaluated?
• How many appointments might I need, and what costs or maintenance should I anticipate?
• What side effects, contraindications, preparation steps and aftercare apply to me?
