Is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser)to remove unwanted hair. Usually requires three to six treatments. The interval between treatments vary depending the area.

Common treatment locations include face, upper lip, beard, underarms, legs, chest, bikini, lower back.

Hair color and skin type influence the success of laser hair removal. The basic principle is that the pigment of the hair, but not the pigment of the skin, should absorb the light.

Therefore, a contrast between hair and skin color-dark hair and light skin-results in the best outcomes. Laser hair removal will not prevent hormonal hair growth but it can treat the disorder.
