Hair Removal

Hair can be successfully removed using lasers. The laser beam, a concentrated beam of light energy, passes through the skin to the hair follicle where it is absorbed as heat, damaging the follicle. There are several types of lasers being used to remove hair. The type of laser used and response of the treatments will depend on patients’ skin and hair color combination.

Because hair grows in cycles and laser treatments are most effective in the early growth phase, multiple treatments are required to achieve permanent hair removal.
