What is it?
Laser Hair Reduction is a non-invasive, FDA-approved procedure that uses focused laser energy to permanently reduce unwanted hair. It targets melanin in the hair follicle, damaging it without affecting surrounding skin. Suitable for face, body, bikini, and underarms — it’s a game-changing alternative to waxing, shaving, or threading.
How It Works
A laser emits light absorbed by the melanin (pigment) in the hair. The heat damages the hair follicle to prevent or delay future growth.
Common technologies include:
- Diode laser (best for Indian skin)
- Alexandrite (fast, for fair skin)
- Nd:YAG (safe for darker skin tones)
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple sessions are needed to treat all follicles effectively.
