Hair Removal
Laser Hair Removal Overview
Laser hair removal is used to reduce unwanted hair by targeting the hair follicle. Treatment focuses on disrupting hair growth while preserving surrounding skin.
At Kairos, laser hair removal treatments are planned based on skin tone, hair color, hair density, and treatment area. Providers assess growth patterns and treatment history before proceeding. Laser settings are adjusted to balance effectiveness and skin safety. Because hair grows in cycles, multiple sessions are required to address follicles during active growth phases.


How Laser Hair Removal Works
Laser hair removal works by delivering light energy that is absorbed by pigment in the hair follicle. This energy damages the follicle and limits future growth.
The laser emits controlled pulses of light that target melanin within the hair shaft and follicle. Heat generated by this absorption disrupts follicle function during the active growth phase. Hair in resting phases is not affected, which is why treatments are spaced over time. Parameters are adjusted based on skin tone and hair characteristics.
Appropriate Candidates
Laser hair removal may be appropriate for individuals seeking long-term hair reduction. Candidacy is determined through skin evaluation and hair characteristics.
Patients with unwanted hair on the face or body may benefit from laser hair removal. Effectiveness depends on hair color, thickness, and skin tone. Individuals with darker hair typically respond more predictably. Evaluation ensures appropriate settings are selected and identifies any conditions or medications that may affect treatment timing or safety.

Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment in active hair follicles. Because hair grows in cycles, only a percentage of follicles can be treated during each session. A series of treatments allows us to target hairs as they enter the active growth phase.
The exact number of treatments depends on several factors, including the treatment area, whether the face, legs, or bikini; hair thickness and density; hormonal influences; skin tone and hair color; and consistency with treatment timing.
