Learn all about this popular treatment, below.

What Is Laser Hair Removal (LHR)?

Laser hair removal uses laser light technology to target the pigment in your hair at the base to eliminate the hair from regrowing.

The Benefits of LHR

There are many benefits to laser hair removal treatments including the following:

  • Long term hair removal option
  • No more time and money spent on hair removal alternatives (shaving, waxing, bleaching etc.)
  • Safe treatment sessions
  • Can be performed anywhere on the body

Is LHR Safe?

Yes! The FDA has approved laser hair removal treatments as a safe and effective option for semi-permanent hair removal when performed by a qualified practitioner.

One of the greatest parts of this treatment is that it can cover even very large treatment areas.

Some of the most popularly treated areas include the legs, underarms, back, bikini area, and even the face.

Does it Hurt?

While laser hair removal is nowhere near as painful as a waxing treatment, you can expect some discomfort.

However, your doctor can apply a numbing cream to the area and adjust when needed to help make your treatment as comfortable as possible.

Is Laser Hair Removal Right for Me?

LHR is a great option for any patient looking to address unwanted hair on their face or body.

To learn if this is a good option for you, always schedule a consultation with a board-certified practitioner in your area.
