Who Is It For?
Laser hair reduction, also known as laser hair removal, is ideal for women and men who wish to target areas of hair growth and achieve lasting results, with little maintenance and no side effects or complications. Any number of areas can be targeted for laser hair reduction including:
- Face- brows, upper lip, chin, sideburns
- Arms, hands, and underarms
- Chest, stomach, and back
- Bikini and brazilian areas
- Legs
Basically anywhere that you are experiencing unwanted hair growth can be targeted for lasting hair reduction.
How Does It Work?
At Genesis, we prefer the InMode Triton Platform for hair removal. It is the fastest and most painless laser hair removal technology available on the market today. Using specific wavelengths of light to target pigment within the hair, the laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicle and it becomes damaged. Because hair growth occurs in a three-phase cycle, only follicles that are actively growing will be affected during a hair reduction treatment. This means that in order to effectively incapacitate all hair follicles multiple treatment sessions are required to ensure that all follicles are targeted during their natural growth phase.

What to Expect
The length of your treatment session will, of course, depend on the size and number of areas you are having treated. Most larger areas such as the legs will take about 15 minutes to complete. Each patient can have a different tolerance to the discomfort of a laser hair treatment. Some patients report no discomfort, but others may choose to discuss the option to apply a numbing cream prior to their session. Laser hair reduction is often described as having a rubber band snapped against your skin.
After treatment you may experience some redness and swelling, similar to the sensation of sunburned skins, but there is no expected downtime. You will see immediate results, but most patients will require 2-6 treatments to achieve optimal hair reduction and a minimal maintenance program may be required to achieve your desired smooth, hair-free skin over time.
