What is laser hair reduction? How does it work?
LHR is a non-invasive laser treatment designed to remove unwanted hair from all parts of the body.
The laser device works by emitting pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin and destroy hair follicles while the device’s handpiece cools the surrounding skin.
Because the laser needs to fill the hair follicle to work effectively, it is important not to wax, tweeze, have electrolysis procedures or pluck hair for 2-4 weeks prior to the procedure

When do the results show? How long does the effect last?
Because LASERS are effective only on actively growing hairs, multiple treatments will be
required to achieve cosmetically acceptable results. LHR procedure generally
involves a series of treatments. Usually 8 sessions are required for the face, but can
vary from person to person.
The laser light causes permanent damage to the hair follicles and further disables its tendency
to grow.
