How does laser hair removal work?

The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in your hair follicles. The heat from the laser damages the hair follicles, inhibiting their ability to regrow hair in the future.

How laser removal works

Laser hair removal typically requires multiple sessions spaced 4-6 weeks apart. This is because hair grows in different stages, and the laser is most effective when the hair is in the active growth phase (anagen). Multiple sessions ensure that as many hair follicles as possible are treated during their active phase.
