Laser hair removal: Everything you need to know before your first session

Laser hair removal is the most effective long-term solution for reducing unwanted hair. Unlike shaving or waxing, which only remove hair at the surface, this treatment targets the root, significantly slowing regrowth.

How It Works & Key Benefits

The laser emits light pulses that penetrate the skin and destroy hair follicles, preventing future growth. Key advantages include:
✅ Long-lasting results – Significant hair reduction over multiple sessions.
✅ Time & cost-efficient – More affordable than waxing in the long run.
✅ Reduces irritation – No more razor burns or ingrown hairs.
✅ Versatile – Suitable for legs, underarms, face, bikini, and back.

Common Myths & Facts

🔹 Myth: It only works on light skin with dark hair.
✅ Fact: Modern laser technology works on various skin and hair types.
🔹 Myth: The treatment is painful.
✅ Fact: Most people describe it as mild tingling, and cooling systems reduce discomfort.
🔹 Myth: Hair never grows back.
✅ Fact: Permanent reduction is achieved, but maintenance sessions may be needed.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

Typically, 6 to 8 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart deliver optimal results.
