About the treatment
Laser hair removal targets pigment in the hair follicle to reduce future growth. Suitability depends on hair color, skin tone, treatment area and the device used.

What to expect
Multiple sessions are commonly needed because hairs grow in cycles. Maintenance may be needed. White, gray, red and very light hair may respond poorly.

Suitability and important considerations
Temporary redness and swelling may occur. Burns, pigment changes and scarring are possible. Avoid tanning and follow individualized preparation and sun-protection instructions.

Your consultation
Discuss your goals, health history, allergies, medicines and previous treatments before deciding on a plan. Your provider will explain alternatives, likely recovery and individual aftercare. Results vary. A consultation does not commit you to treatment.
