Laser Hair Removal

Each pulse of light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair and carried down to the follicle, where the heat disables its ability to grow, while a cooling system protects the surface.

Only follicles in their active growth phase respond fully, which is why the treatment is given in a series spaced weeks apart, reducing hair gradually.

The laser relies on pigment in the hair, so very light, gray, red, or fine hair responds poorly. We will tell you honestly if the result is likely to disappoint, rather than sell a series that cannot deliver.

Recently tanned skin is treated cautiously or asked to wait. The restraint here is candor before the first pass.

The hand chooses the settings to your skin tone and your hair, tests where needed, and adjusts by area. The wrong setting on the wrong skin is where trouble lives.

Careful attention to tone and recent sun is the surest guard, which is why we ask about both.

The full reduction builds across the series, each session catching a new share of follicles. Treated hairs shed over the days to weeks after, which is normal and not new growth.

Once reduced, the result lasts, with occasional touch-ups. Avoid plucking or waxing between sessions, since the laser needs the follicle intact.
