How does it work?
Laser emits a concentrated beam of light which is absorbed by melanin in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the hair follicle and in turn inhibits hair growth. Although laser hair removal effectively delays hair growth for long periods, multiple treatments within 4-6 week intervals are required for initial hair removal, and maintenance treatments are recommended to keep unwanted hairs at bay.
Laser hair removal is most effective for people who have lighter skin tones and dark hair, but thanks to advancements it can be successfully used on all skin types. Laser is considered a virtually pain-free and permanent hair removal solution, with clients reaping the benefits of silky hair-free skin within 6-8 sessions.

Risks
Risks and side effects vary with skin type, hair colour and adherence to pre-treatment and post-treatment care. The most common side effects of laser hair removal include:
Skin irritation- Temporary discomfort, redness and swelling are possible after laser hair removal. Any signs and symptoms typically disappear within several hours
Pigment changes- Laser hair removal might darken or lighten the affected skin. These changes might be temporary or permanent. Skin lightening primarily affects those who don’t avoid sun exposure before or after treatment and those who have darker skin.
