Laser Hair Removal is a procedure performed to reduce unwanted hair throughout the face and body permanently.

This treatment uses a long pulse ND YAG laser to reduce hair growth in any location on the body such as the underarms, bikini line, face, neck, back, chest, and legs. However, this type of laser is generally ineffective for light-colored hair (blonde/grey) and is more suitable for treating dark (brown/black) hair. Patients with darker skin complexion may require more treatments.

Hair color, as well as skin type, have a great impact on whether laser hair removal can proceed as the basic principle is that the pigment of the hair should absorb the light emitted by the laser device, not the pigments on the skin. With that theory, dark hair and light skin would have the best results for this treatment.

During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that would be absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy will then be converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. The damage works to inhibit or delay future hair growth.

Laser hair removal requires maintenance treatments, but the interval of hair growth varies depending on the location. In areas where hair grows quickly, the treatment may be repeated within 4 to 8 weeks. For the areas with slow hair growth, 12 to 16 weeks is recommended.

It should be noted that hairs do not fall out immediately after the treatment, it will take time to shed over a period of days to weeks.
