Do you have
Unwanted Hair?
Shaving, waxing, and plucking can be time-consuming, irritating, and costly over time. If you’re ready for a longer-lasting solution, laser hair reduction offers a safe and effective way to significantly reduce unwanted hair growth. At REAL, we use advanced laser technology to target hair at the root, delivering smoother skin with fewer ingrown hairs and less irritation.
What is
Unwanted Hair Removal?
Unwanted hair removal refers to the process of reducing or eliminating hair growth in areas such as the face, underarms, arms, legs, bikini line, or back. Laser hair reduction works by directing concentrated light energy into the hair follicle, where it is absorbed by pigment and converted into heat. This process damages the follicle, slowing or preventing future growth without harming surrounding skin. While results vary by hair type, color, and treatment area, most patients experience a significant, long-term reduction in hair growth.
What causes Unwanted Hair Growth?
Genetics
Hair density, thickness, and growth patterns are largely determined by genetics. Some individuals naturally grow more or coarser hair in certain areas.
Hormonal changes
Shifts in androgen levels—such as during puberty, pregnancy, menopause, or certain medical conditions—can stimulate new hair growth or make existing hair thicker and darker.
Medications and medical conditions
Some medications and health conditions can trigger increased hair growth, making maintenance more challenging.

Frequently Asked Questions
About Unwanted Hair Removal
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Most patients see long-term reduction, though occasional maintenance treatments may be needed for optimal results.
How many sessions will I need?
Hair grows in cycles, so multiple treatments—usually 6–8 sessions spaced several weeks apart—are needed to target all active follicles.
Does laser hair removal work on all hair colors?
Laser is most effective on darker hair due to its higher pigment content. Lighter hair may require alternative approaches for best results.
Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes. Modern laser systems can be adjusted for a wide range of skin tones, but settings and protocols must be customized for safety and efficacy.
Will laser hair removal help with ingrown hairs?
Yes. By reducing hair growth and thickness, laser treatments can significantly decrease the occurrence of ingrown hairs and irritation.
