What is Laser Hair Reduction?
Laser hair reduction is a non-surgical treatment that uses concentrated light energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair. The laser targets melanin (pigment) in hair follicles, heating and damaging them to inhibit future hair growth. Over a series of treatments (typically 6-8 sessions), laser hair reduction achieves long-lasting to permanent hair reduction, freeing you from the endless cycle of shaving, waxing, and plucking.
Modern laser technology is safe for all skin types and can treat virtually any area of the body—from small areas like the upper lip to large areas like the legs or back. Results are smooth, hair-free skin with dramatic reduction in hair growth, saving time, money, and frustration in the long run.

Important Considerations
Laser hair reduction works best on darker hair and lighter skin due to melanin targeting. However, modern laser technology (like Nd:YAG lasers) can safely treat darker skin types. Multiple sessions are required because hair grows in cycles, and laser only affects actively growing hair. Hormonal conditions (PCOS) may require additional maintenance treatments.
