How does laser hair removal work, and is it right for you?
Laser hair removal heats the pigment in actively growing hair follicles, damaging them so hair grows back finer and sparser. Because hair grows in cycles, a series of sessions is needed for long-term reduction.
At YAAN Clinic in Gangnam, Seoul, the laser and settings are chosen for your skin tone and hair colour. Pricing depends on the area and is quoted at consultation.
Who Laser Hair Removal suits, and who it doesn't
We would rather tell you what you don't need. These are general guides; your doctor confirms suitability after examining you.
Often a good fit
- Dark hair on the face, underarms, legs, arms or bikini line
- Ingrown hairs and shaving irritation
- People wanting long-term reduction
- Men with beard shaping or back hair
- Most skin types with appropriate settings
Probably not the first choice
- White, grey or very fair hair (little pigment)
- A fresh tan
- Expecting complete removal in one visit
- Active skin infection in the area
- Pregnancy (usually postponed)
Targeting the follicle
Pigment target: the laser is absorbed by melanin in the hair shaft.
Growth phase: only actively growing hairs respond, so sessions are spaced 4–8 weeks.
Cooling: protects the skin surface during treatment.
