Hello! Yes.
Laser hair reduction is completely safe and effective.
It’s hair reduction. Initially you would require 6-8 sessions. 30-40 days apart.
Hair will become thinner and finer.
Maintainance sessions may be required.
Need to get hormone levels checked and imbalance corrected for better results.

Laser hair reduction is a safe treatment if done by a dermatologist. As such there are no side effects if done at appropriate parameters in a good machine. Temporary redness may occur which settles in few hours. It is permanent hair reduction, not removal. It means density, thickness and color of hair gets reduced to great extent. After all sittings are done you may have to take maintenance session every few months (4-6) depending on hair growth. If there are any hormonal disturbances in your body later on, new hair may grow.

Hello..yes you can go for full body laser hair reduction and it is safe and painless. Hair reduction is not permanent but gap between the hair growth increases. For example..if your normal hair grows within a week/ two after threading/ waxing or whichever the techniques you are using..after laser hair reduction the gap increases..like it might see hair growth after a month or so with subsequent sessions..and the hair gets to be finer too
Next Steps
approach a dermatologist in nearby clinic to get it done
