Laser Hair Reduction | How it Works

Laser hair reduction is a powerful medical procedure. When the laser is emitted, it penetrates and targets the melanin in the hair root. The light energy gets absorbed by the pigment and converted to heat.

This heat then targets the stem cells in the hair follicle’s bulge area — the area responsible for hair regrowth. By destroying these stem cells, the hair follicle becomes permanently inactive. Hair has different growth phases:

✔ Anagen (active growth)
✔ Catagen (transition)
✔ Telogen (resting)

Laser hair reduction is generally safe for anyone above 18 years of age. It can be done on any part of the body, for both men and women. However, if you have underlying conditions like PCOD, thyroid issues, or hormonal imbalances, it’s best to address those first with a doctor before starting laser treatment.
