1. What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a hair removal method that uses concentrated light energy focused on hair follicles to destroy them. Laser light penetrates the melanin pigment (hair and skin colour) and produces heat energy, permanently disabling the hair follicles.

Laser hair removal is carried out by a qualified professional. Before the procedure, the person's skin and hair types are assessed and the most suitable laser device is selected.

Laser treatment usually consists of several sessions. The interval between sessions varies according to the person's hair structure, skin colour and the area being treated. Afterwards, there may be slight redness or a burning sensation, but this usually passes within a few hours.
