What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal is a safe and effective cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated light energy to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The laser emits a precise beam of light absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which converts into heat and disables the follicle without damaging the surrounding skin.

Step 1: Consultation and Skin Analysis
