What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal uses selective light energy to heat and disable hair follicles. Melanin in the hair shaft absorbs the light, which converts to heat and disrupts the follicle’s ability to regrow. As hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is required for optimal results.

Aftercare Guidelines
Redness
Mild “goosebump” swelling and warmth may persist for a few hours to a day; applying cool compresses can help.
Activity
Avoid hot tubs, saunas, intense workouts, and very hot showers for 24 hours.
Sun Protection
Strict sun avoidance and daily broad-spectrum SPF 30–50 are essential.
Hair Shedding
Treated hairs shed over 1–3 weeks; do not tweeze or wax—shave only between sessions.
Products
Pause retinoids, acids, and scrubs on the area for 2–3 days or as directed.
