Often we are asked what is the difference between permanent laser hair removal and laser hair reduction. The laser treatment destroys the hair shaft forever and hair will no longer grow in a treated area.Hair growth goes through different phases and you need a course of treatments (usually 6-10) to catch all the hair in their active anagen phase. You see significant hair reduction after the first treatment. However, it is almost impossible to remove every single hair from treated area forever.

A good result is considered getting rid of 85% of hair in any treated area. The correct way to call this treatment is laser hair reduction rather than removal.
