In Seoul, we offer effective and non-invasive laser hair removal designed to leave your skin smooth, kissable, and free from stubble or shaving bumps with minimal downtime.
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal uses targeted precision-based light pulses to destroy hair follicles at the root. Since hair grows in cycles, several treatments are necessary to effectively remove all hair from the treated area. Rest assured, there is no anesthesia required, no needles, and no discomfort beyond a mild sensation that feels like a rubber band snapping against the skin or a slight sunburn.

- Small Areas: Upper lip, chin, sideburns, cheeks, happy trail, hands, feet, areola

Can Men Get Laser Hair Removal Too?
Yes! Laser hair removal is an excellent option for men who want a long-term solution to unwanted hair.

Whether you're looking to simplify grooming or reduce skin irritation caused by shaving, our advanced laser technology provides impressive results tailored to your needs.
Am I a Good Candidate for Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal works best for those with darker and coarser hair, as these hair follicles can absorb more laser energy. It's best to avoid tanning before undergoing a session. While laser hair removal may be more challenging for individuals with blonde, white, or gray hair, new laser technology makes it possible to safely treat a wide range of skin tones. Our practitioners will determine the most suitable approach for you during your consultation.
What Is Recovery Like After Laser Hair Removal?
There’s no lengthy recovery period with laser hair removal. You can resume normal activities right after your session. Any discomfort is usually mild, like a slight sunburn, and should subside within a few days. A cold compress can help cool treated areas. Some redness or itching may occur, but these symptoms typically fade within a few days.
How Much Does Laser Hair Removal Cost?
While laser hair removal can seem like a bigger upfront investment, when compared to the ongoing costs of shaving, waxing, or other hair removal methods, it’s a cost-effective option in the long run. Treatment prices vary based on the area being treated. During your consultation, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan and provide a detailed quote for your sessions.
Laser Hair Removal FAQ
Is laser hair removal painful?
Most patients tolerate the procedure well. The sensation is usually compared to a quick snap of a rubber band or a mild sunburn. No anesthesia is required, and discomfort is minimal.
Is laser hair removal permanent?
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, and in many cases, it can lead to permanent hair reduction. However, some patients may need maintenance sessions over time.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of treatments varies depending on the individual and the area being treated. Typically, 6-8 sessions are needed for optimal results, as hair grows in cycles.
Does it work for all skin and hair types?
Laser hair removal is most effective for darker hair and lighter skin. Advances in technology have improved the treatment's efficacy for a broader range of skin tones and hair colors. A consultation is necessary to determine the best approach for each individual.
How should I prepare for my session?
Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds for at least two weeks before your appointment. Shave the area to be treated a day before your session, and refrain from waxing, plucking, or electrolysis for six weeks prior.
How long does a session last?
The duration depends on the area being treated. Smaller areas like the upper lip take just a few minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs can take up to an hour.
Can laser hair removal help with excessive sweating?
While it’s not a treatment for hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), reducing underarm hair can improve hygiene and decrease moisture, helping you feel more comfortable.
Will laser hair removal affect my skin color?
In rare cases, temporary changes in pigmentation may occur, but these typically fade over time, especially when you follow post-treatment care, like avoiding sun exposure.
Does laser hair removal work on hormonal hair growth?
It can help reduce hormonal hair growth, but conditions like PCOS or other hormonal imbalances may require additional maintenance sessions.
Can I combine laser hair removal with other treatments?
Yes, but be sure to space out treatments carefully. For example, avoid procedures like chemical peels or microneedling immediately before or after laser hair removal to prevent irritation.
