Laser hair removal uses concentrated light to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles, damaging them to reduce or prevent future growth.

Yes. While laser hair removal offers long-term, permanent hair reduction, your body can still produce new hairs over time. Most of the destroyed follicles will not grow back, but your body can always make new hairs over time due to hormones, and genetics. Most clients maintain their results with 1–3 touch-up sessions per year, depending on their skin type, hair type, and lifestyle.
