Laser hair reduction (LHR) is one of the most common laser procedures in dermatology. The procedure relies on the principle of selective photothermolysis where the laser energy of a particular wavelength is selectively absorbed by a pigmented target and converted to heat
The optimal treatment protocol for Laser hair reduction is based on skin type and characteristics of hair such as density, thickness, and the color (melanin content)
Recent devices presenting with a combination of wavelengths have shown to produce effective hair reduction with no related risks
Laser toning is a non invasive procedure that improves skin tone, texture, and pigment irregularities. This treatment involves the use of specialized lasers to target melanin and stimulate collagen production, promoting a more even complexion.
