The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicles responsible for hair growth, inhibiting future hair production.

Laser hair removal is a popular and effective method for reducing unwanted hair, but it's important to understand that results develop gradually and vary depending on individual factors like hair thickness, area treated, and your hair growth cycle.

Multiple sessions are necessary because the laser only affects hair in its active growing phase. At any given time, different hairs are in different growth stages. Therefore, successive treatments are essential to catch each hair in the active phase at least once.

Post-treatment, you'll notice hair appears to grow as usual. However, this is typically the treated hairs gradually shedding as a result of the procedure. Complete shedding can take up to two weeks.

Regardless of what device is used, laser hair removal is not permanent, but it significantly reduces hair growth over time. The treatment targets hair follicles to inhibit future hair growth, and after multiple sessions, many people experience long-lasting results. However, hair will eventually grow back, though it is usually finer and lighter than before. Maintenance sessions will be needed periodically to maintain the desired results.

The number of sessions varies depending on the area being treated, hair type, and skin tone. Most people require 6 to 9 sessions spaced several weeks apart to achieve the desired results.
