Laser hair removal uses focused light energy at a wavelength absorbed by melanin, the pigment in hair. The light energy converts to heat inside the follicle, permanently damaging the structures responsible for hair growth.
Hair grows in cycles: only follicles in the active growth phase (anagen) can be effectively treated. This is why multiple sessions are required: to catch all follicles during their active phase.
After a full course of 6–8 laser hair removal sessions, most patients experience 80–95% permanent hair reduction. Remaining hair is typically finer, lighter, and grows more slowly.
Men's hair presents specific characteristics, typically coarser and darker, that respond exceptionally well to laser treatment. Body areas like the back, chest, and neck are among the most popular and impactful for men seeking a cleaner, lower-maintenance appearance.
