What causes it
Hair grows in areas where we'd prefer smooth skin due to genetics, hormonal influence (androgens), ethnicity, and in some cases medical conditions like PCOS. Traditional removal methods — shaving, waxing, threading — require constant repetition with no permanent effect.
Best approaches
Laser hair removal targets melanin in the hair follicle, generating heat that permanently damages the follicle and inhibits regrowth. After 6–8 sessions, most patients achieve 85–90% permanent reduction — with occasional annual touch-ups for any regrowth.

FAQ: Unwanted Hair
Does it work on all hair colors?
Laser targets melanin, so it works best on dark hair. Light blonde, red, gray, and white hair contains insufficient melanin to be effectively targeted. We'll assess your hair color honestly at your consultation.
Is it safe for all skin tones?
Yes, with the right technology. Our laser systems are appropriate for skin types I–VI, including darker skin tones that historically required extra caution.
