Laser hair reduction targets pigmented hair follicles during active growth. Results vary with hair colour and thickness, skin type, treatment area, hormonal factors and session timing.
The correct device, calibrated settings, preparation and aftercare matter. The goal is lasting reduction, not an unsafe promise of permanent removal for every person.
