The Ultimate Guide to Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide, offering a long-term solution to unwanted hair. At Clarity Laser & Aesthetic Clinic, we use state-of-the-art technology to provide safe and effective treatments.

How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in hair follicles. The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin, which heats up and damages the follicle, preventing future hair growth.

The Process:
1. Consultation: We assess your skin type and hair color
2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and shaved
3. Treatment: Laser pulses are applied to the skin
4. Aftercare: We provide post-treatment care instructions

What to Expect

- Sessions needed: 6-8 sessions for optimal results
- Interval: Treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart
- Duration: 15 minutes to 1 hour depending on area
- Results: 80-90% hair reduction after complete treatment

Benefits of Laser Hair Removal

- Long-lasting results
- Precision targeting
- Speed of treatment
