Laser Hair Removal?
…..
Laser hair removal is one of the most effective ways to reduce unwanted hair — offering long-term smoothness and freedom from constant shaving, waxing, or tweezing. It works by targeting hair follicles with light energy, disabling them over time.
Common reasons patients choose laser hair removal include:
- Reducing hair growth on legs, underarms, bikini area, and face
- Minimizing ingrown hairs and razor bumps
- Saving time from constant shaving or waxing
- Achieving smoother, softer skin
- Long-term cost savings vs. ongoing hair removal methods
- Increasing confidence and comfort in personal grooming
What to Expect (Procedure Overview)
Laser hair removal at Selarom is performed using FDA-cleared devices suitable for a range of skin types. Treatments are fast, effective, and spaced to match your hair growth cycle.
Consultation & Planning
We assess your skin tone, hair type, and goals to determine if laser hair removal is right for you. We’ll map out a treatment plan and explain how to prep for your sessions (e.g., shaving beforehand, avoiding sun exposure).
Treatment Day
During the procedure, a handheld laser device delivers pulses of light to the hair follicles. Sessions typically take 15–60 minutes depending on the area. Most patients describe the sensation as a rubber band snap.
Recovery
There’s little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness or sensitivity, which usually subsides within hours. Hair will shed gradually over the next few days. Treatments are spaced 4–6 weeks apart for optimal results.
Your Safety, Always
Our team is trained to use medical-grade laser systems with settings tailored to your skin and hair type. We avoid overtreatment or burns by carefully calibrating energy levels for each session.

FAQs
Please click on any of questions below to view their answer!
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It significantly reduces hair growth long term. Some fine hair may return over time, but it will be lighter, finer, and easier to manage.
Does it work on all skin tones?
Modern lasers can safely treat a wide range of skin tones, but it depends on the contrast between your skin and hair. We’ll determine if you’re a good candidate during consultation.
Is it painful?
Most patients find it very tolerable. It feels like a quick snap or warmth. Sensitive areas may feel more discomfort, but it’s short-lived.
How many sessions will I need?
Most people need 6–8 sessions for lasting results, spaced 4–6 weeks apart. Hormones, hair type, and area treated all affect your total number.
