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
Light
Light energy is delivered to the pigmented hair.
Pigment
The pigment (melanin) in the hair absorbs the light energy.
Heat
That energy converts to heat, targeting the follicle.
Follicle
Heat affects the follicle's ability to produce hair, reducing future growth.
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.
