Laser hair removal works by emitting a concentrated beam of light into hair follicles. The pigment in the follicles absorbs the light, which damages the hair and inhibits future growth.

Modern laser technologies have made laser hair removal safe for most skin types, although it may not be suitable for individuals with certain conditions such as active infections, tattoos in the treatment area, or very dark skin.

Sensations during laser hair removal can vary from person to person, but many describe it as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. Some areas may be more sensitive than others.

Typically, multiple sessions spaced several weeks apart are required for optimal results. The exact number of sessions varies depending on factors such as hair color, skin type, and the treatment area.

Some common side effects may include temporary redness, swelling, and skin irritation. Serious side effects are rare but can include blistering, scarring, and changes in skin pigmentation.

The duration of each session depends on the size of the treatment area but typically ranges from a few minutes to an hour.

Results can be long-lasting, with many individuals experiencing permanent hair reduction. However, some may require occasional maintenance sessions to sustain results.

Shaving is typically recommended between sessions, but waxing or plucking should be avoided as they remove the hair follicle, which is necessary for laser hair removal to be effective.
