Laser hair removal
A laser targets hair follicles to reduce hair growth over a series of sessions.
When this is typically needed
- Unwanted hair growth
- Ingrown hairs from shaving/waxing
- Seeking a longer-term alternative to regular hair removal
What it involves
Multiple sessions spaced weeks apart, since laser is most effective on hair in its active growth phase.
What to expect
Progressive reduction over the full course of sessions; some maintenance sessions are usually needed over time.
