Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal at Astria Medical Aesthetics offers a long-term solution to unwanted body and facial hair, delivering permanent reduction with each treatment cycle. The clinic uses medical-grade laser devices calibrated to target melanin in the hair follicle's bulge region without damaging the surrounding skin — a process known as selective photothermolysis.

The laser energy is absorbed by the melanin pigment within the hair shaft and follicle, generating heat that damages the follicular stem cells responsible for hair regrowth.

A typical course involves 6–8 sessions spaced 4–6 weeks apart for facial hair and 6–8 weeks for body areas.
