Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal is a procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove
unwanted hair. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles. Pigment in the follicles
absorb the light that destroys the hair. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
NB: Sometimes, Patients may respond very little or not at all, even if all the settings and
techniques are properly applied, because of insufficient melanin in the hair follicles and
hormonal conditions.

TREATMENT TIME: 20minutes to 2 hours
