Laser Hair Removal

How laser hair removal works

A laser hair removal treatment involves the use of a concentrated beam of laser light to reduce the amount of unwanted hair. During the treatment, the laser emits light onto the skin which is then absorbed by the melanin (pigmentation) in the hair. The light energy produced by the laser is converted to heat which then causes damage to the hair follicles that produce hair. The damage then results in delays of future hair growth.

Is laser hair removal permanent?

Laser hair removal works to delay hair growth for long periods of time, however you do need to receive multiple treatments to see results. Usually 2 to 6 laser hair removal sessions are required initially depending on the area of hair growth. Maintenance treatments may be needed as well. As everyone’s skin and hair is different, results may vary depending on your skin type and hair. Our therapists at Skin and Clay will be able to create a treatment plan for your initial and maintenance sessions.
