Hair Removal

Laser hair removal uses laser energy that responds to the pigment in the hair to deliver heat to the follicle, gradually reducing the hair's ability to grow back. Because hairs are each in a different growth cycle, it is difficult to remove all of them in a single session. Repeating the treatment at regular intervals reduces the amount and thickness of hair, making everyday care more convenient.

Laser hair removal relies on the principle that the melanin pigment contained in hair absorbs laser energy of a specific wavelength. The absorbed energy is converted into heat and affects the follicle and the tissue involved in hair growth. Hairs in the growth phase in particular respond effectively to the laser, so the treatment is repeated in line with the hair growth cycle to draw out gradual hair removal results.

Repeating laser hair removal reduces the amount of hair growing in the treated area, and the remaining hair can become finer than before, helping to cut down on everyday hair removal such as shaving and waxing. It also helps reduce the skin irritation and discomfort that can come from repeatedly shaving or plucking hair. Results and the number of sessions needed can vary with the thickness and color of the hair, the skin condition, and the treated area.
