Laser Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is a method of hair removal that utilizes a nd:YAG laser to target and remove unwanted hair. The laser beam penetrates the skin to reach the hair roots, where the intense heat damages the hair follicles, hindering future hair growth. This procedure is most effective for individuals with dark, pigmented hair.

How It Works
Procedure Process
Prior to the procedure, the treatment area is shaved on the morning of the appointment. Ultrasound gel is applied to soothe the skin, and then the laser treatment begins. Patients may experience mild discomfort during the procedure, described as a warm pinprick or elastic band snapping sensation.
Pre-Procedure Preparation
Four weeks before the procedure, patients are advised to refrain from waxing, plucking, threading, sun exposure, and using self-tanner to ensure optimal results.
Post-Procedure Care
After the procedure, patients may experience skin irritation such as redness, swelling, or bruising, which can be alleviated with cool gel packs provided. Heat exposure, such as saunas or hot tubs, should be avoided for one week post-procedure to aid in recovery.
Maintenance
Changes in hair growth are noticeable after 2 or 3 sessions, with optimal results achieved from 6-10 sessions. While laser hair removal slows hair growth, it does not guarantee permanent removal, and yearly touch-ups may be necessary.
