Laser Hair Removal uses a concentrated beam of light to target and destroy hair follicles, reducing hair growth. Multiple sessions are required to achieve long-lasting results as hair grows in cycles. This treatment is effective for various body areas, including the arms, legs, back, chest, face, armpits, and bikini area. While the procedure is relatively quick, the number of sessions needed will depend on the area treated and the individual’s hair growth pattern.
