Laser hair removal is advertised everywhere as a quick fix, but it’s more of a reduction treatment than a one-shot removal magic.
It usually works best on darker, thicker hair and lighter skin tones, though newer machines can handle more combinations. You typically need multiple sessions—often 6–8 or more—spaced weeks apart.
Before starting, a qualified professional should assess your skin type, hair type, medical history and any medications you’re on (some can make skin more sensitive to light).
Results vary—many people experience significant long-term reduction, but a few fine hairs may still remain, and maintenance sessions may be needed.
Mild redness, warmth or sensitivity after sessions is common. Strict sun protection and following post-care instructions are important to avoid marks or irritation.
Avoid home devices or very cheap, unregulated setups without proper supervision—they might be ineffective or unsafe.
If you have hormonal issues like PCOS, hair may come back faster. Discussing with a dermatologist helps set realistic expectations.
