What is Laser Hair Reduction (LHR)?
Laser Hair Reduction is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated laser energy to target hair follicles during their active growth phase. The laser damages the follicle, reducing its ability to produce new hair while preserving the surrounding skin.
Unlike shaving or waxing, laser hair reduction offers long-term reduction in hair growth. Because hair grows in different cycles, multiple sessions are required for optimal results.
