What is laser hair reduction?
Dr. Nancy Chen of Pua Manu MedSpa describes laser hair reduction as a way of reducing unwanted hair anywhere on the face and body. This treatment is a long-lasting solution to hair on the face, legs, underarms, and other areas where unwanted or thick hair has become problematic. It is one of many cosmetic treatments available at our state-of-the-art medical spa facility.
What can I expect with my laser hair reduction sessions?
At Pua Manu MedSpa, our providers use advanced laser technology and devices to target the hair follicles under the skin. This laser energy is effectively absorbed by the hair’s pigment, damaging the hair follicle and inhibiting future growth. The treated area may experience mild redness or discomfort during and after the treatment, but this typically subsides within a few hours.
How many treatments will I need?
The specific number of treatment sessions needed to achieve reduction will vary from patient to patient. Those seeking a decrease in the thickness of the hair will require fewer treatments than those looking for more dramatic hair reduction in the treatment area. The number of visits needed for laser hair removal depends on the size of the treatment area and the number of active hair follicles that can be treated with the laser light. The desired results can be achieved once the patient completes the recommended number of visits. When you speak to Dr. Nancy Chen during your initial consultation appointment, she can estimate the number of treatments that may be needed to reach your goals. Patients will never experience full removal, so will need to continue to visit the office for maintenance treatments.

Patient FAQ’s
Does laser hair reduction really work?
Yes, laser hair reduction is a highly effective method for reducing unwanted hair. It works by targeting the pigment in hair follicles, damaging them and reducing future hair growth. However, multiple sessions are required for the best results.
Can laser permanently remove hair?
Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction but not permanent removal. After a full course of treatments, many people experience significant hair reduction, but maintenance sessions may be needed.
What is the difference between laser hair removal and reduction?
Laser hair removal aims to significantly reduce hair growth over time, while laser hair reduction refers to the long-term decrease in hair thickness and density, meaning some fine hairs may remain.
Does laser treatment for hair loss work?
Laser treatments like Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) can promote hair regrowth in people with certain types of hair loss. However, laser hair removal treatments target hair reduction, not regrowth.
Should I laser my pubic hair?
Yes, laser hair removal can be performed on the pubic area. Many individuals choose this treatment for long-lasting hair reduction in the bikini or Brazilian areas. It’s safe when performed by a trained professional.
How painful is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is often described as feeling like a rubber band snapping against the skin. The pain is tolerable, and many clinics use cooling devices or numbing creams to minimize discomfort.
Will hair grow back if I stop laser?
If you stop laser treatments before completing a full course, some hair will likely regrow. However, it will typically be finer and lighter than before. Maintenance treatments may be required for long-term results.
Can I shave after laser hair removal?
Yes, shaving is the only recommended method for hair removal between laser sessions. Avoid waxing or plucking, as these methods remove the hair follicle, which the laser needs to target.
Does laser remove 100% hair?
Laser hair removal significantly reduces hair growth, but it may not remove 100% of hair. After several sessions, most people experience an 80-90% reduction in hair growth.
Is waxing better than laser hair reduction?
Laser hair reduction provides longer-lasting results than waxing. While waxing removes hair temporarily, laser treatments reduce hair growth for the long term, requiring fewer touch-ups over time.
Is laser hair reduction painful?
Laser hair reduction may cause mild discomfort, often described as a light stinging or snapping sensation. However, modern lasers come with cooling mechanisms to make the experience more comfortable.
