What is Laser Hair Reduction?

Laser Hair Reduction (LHR) is a safe, dermatologist-performed procedure that uses focused laser light to target and disable hair follicles, reducing unwanted hair growth over time.

It offers a long-term solution for unwanted hair on the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini area, chest, and back, leaving the skin smoother and free from irritation caused by waxing or shaving.

How It Works

The laser emits a beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair shaft. This heat energy selectively destroys the hair root without harming the surrounding skin, gradually leading to finer, lighter, and fewer hairs.
