You may need this if...
These signs may indicate that this treatment is the recommended course of care:
- Coarse, unwanted hair growth on the face or body
- A wish for longer-term hair reduction than temporary methods
- Hair growth alongside a hormonal condition being separately managed
- A need for a tailored, multi-session treatment plan
A dermatologist's evaluation confirms whether this treatment is the right option for your skin.
What Does This Treatment Involve?
Treatment uses laser hair reduction for longer-term results, alongside a topical option to slow facial hair growth, coordinated with hormonal treatment where relevant.
Dermatologic hair management works alongside, not instead of, treatment of an underlying hormonal cause where one is identified.

The Care Pathway
1. Skin & Hair Assessment
Your dermatologist assesses your skin type and hair growth pattern to plan laser treatment safely.
2. Laser Hair Reduction Sessions
A series of sessions progressively reduces hair growth in the treated area.
3. Topical Therapy
A prescription cream may be added to slow regrowth between sessions.
4. Maintenance Sessions
Occasional touch-up sessions help sustain results over time.
“Your dermatology care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
Laser hair reduction provides a significant, longer-lasting reduction in hair growth compared with temporary hair removal methods.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your dermatologist will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
A course of multiple sessions, typically spaced several weeks apart, is needed for the best results.
Your dermatologist will schedule your session series and any maintenance treatments needed.
Careful follow-up and guidance on skincare all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
