Laser hair removal works by targeting hair roots, which reduces future growth. It is a medical procedure, so it should always start with a consultation to check whether it is right for your skin and hair type.
Most people need several sessions because hair grows in cycles and each treatment only affects roots that are active at the time. Sessions are usually spaced several weeks apart.
During treatment you may feel a warming or stinging sensation, which most people tolerate well. Avoid sun exposure and waxing or plucking in the treated area, as these can interfere with the treatment.
Results are normally a significant reduction in hair growth rather than immediate, permanent removal. Your clinician will set realistic expectations and a plan for follow-up.
