How does laser hair removal work?

The laser targets the pigment in the hair follicle and heats it enough to slow future growth. Hair grows in cycles, and only follicles in the active growth phase respond, which is why you need a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart.

Common treatment areas include the face, underarms, bikini line and legs. Confirm your area when you book.

Laser hair removal for darker skin

In deeper skin tones, the laser has to tell the difference between pigment in the hair and pigment in the skin. Longer wavelengths, such as 1064 nm, are generally considered the safer choice for melanin-rich skin because more of their energy passes the skin’s surface.

Tacha confirms the right approach for your skin and hair at your consultation.
