Laser hair reduction

Laser hair reduction is a cosmetic treatment that uses pulses of laser light to remove or reduce unwanted hair growth permanently. During the procedure, the laser emits energy absorbed by the dark pigment in the hair follicles. This damages the follicles and prevents future hair regrowth.

A good candidate for laser hair reduction is someone who is looking for a long-lasting solution to unwanted hair. This treatment is suitable for patients who wish to reduce or eliminate hair growth in the legs, underarms, face, bikini area, or other body areas. It is most effective on people with dark hair and light skin, as the laser targets the dark pigment in the hair follicles.

With a quick recovery process, laser hair reduction is an effective procedure requiring no downtime. After treatment, it is possible to experience temporary redness or tenderness in the treated area, similar to a mild sunburn. These symptoms usually disappear within a few hours or days. It is recommended to avoid direct sun exposure, apply sunscreen and avoid irritating products in the treated area for at least a week and follow the specialist's instructions.
