Hair reduction is a laser-based treatment used to gradually reduce unwanted facial or body hair. It is a good option for patients who are tired of repeated waxing, threading, shaving, ingrown hair, or razor-related darkening and irritation.
The doctor checks the treatment area, skin tone, hair thickness, and any sensitivity history first. A patch test may be done where needed, and sessions are then planned according to the hair growth cycle.
- Repeated waxing and shaving
