Hair Reduction

Long-lasting reduction of unwanted hair.

Laser and light-based treatments target pigment in unwanted hair, delivering energy to the follicle to reduce future growth.

Because hairs grow in different cycles, effective hair reduction takes a series of treatments—not just one.

How Laser Hair Reduction Works

1

Light

Light energy is delivered to the pigmented hair.

Step 1: Light energy delivered to hair
2

Pigment

The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light energy.

Step 2: Melanin absorbs light energy
3

Heat

That energy converts to heat, targeting the follicle.

Step 3: Energy converts to targeted heat
4

Follicle

Heat affects the follicle's ability to produce hair, reducing future growth.

Step 4: Disabled follicle reduces future growth
Hair Reduction

Works Best on Pigmented Hair

Hair pigment is the target, so darker, more pigmented hair generally responds better.

Treats Many Areas

Face/chin, underarms, bikini area, back, chest, legs and other appropriate areas.

It's a Process

Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments are generally needed. A series of treatments is recommended.

Maintenance May Be Needed

Some hair can return over time and follow-up treatments may be appropriate.

What to Expect

Progressive Reduction

Results develop throughout your series of treatments.

Different Growth Cycles

Not every follicle is in the active growth phase at the same time.

Individualized Treatment

Skin type, hair color, hair thickness and treatment area influence your treatment plan and response.

Possible Maintenance

Occasional maintenance treatments may help manage future growth.

Results vary from person to person.
