What is the procedure for Laser Hair Removal?

Laser hair removal surgery requires proper preparatory steps before the actual surgery begins.

• The patient is advised to avoid sun exposure, waxing, plucking, or electrolyzing the intended areas.

• Shave the areas one or two days before to ensure the laser targets the hair roots effectively.

• The doctor removes makeup or lotion and deeply cleans the skin to begin the procedure.

• The laser device is adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of the hair being treated and your skin color. The device emits a concentrated beam of light, which the pigment in the hair follicles absorbs, destroying the hair.

• The procedure is continued until the intended intensity is reached.

• The same process is repeated under various sessions until the procedure is completed.
