Unwanted Body & Facial Hair

Unwanted hair growth, medically known as hirsutism when it follows a male-pattern distribution in women, affects a significant number of patients. In many cases, the underlying driver is an excess of androgens (male hormones) which can be associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), adrenal gland disorders, or simply a genetic predisposition that makes hair follicles more sensitive to normal androgen levels.

Traditional hair removal methods like waxing, threading, and shaving provide only temporary results and can actually worsen certain conditions. Repeated irritation from these methods can lead to ingrown hairs, folliculitis (infected hair follicles), and post-inflammatory darkening of the skin, particularly in areas like the bikini line, underarms, and face.

At Leor, we offer advanced laser and light-based hair reduction that targets the melanin in the hair follicle to disable it at the root. Our systems are calibrated for Indian skin tones, which require specific wavelengths and energy settings to effectively target dark hair without damaging the surrounding pigmented skin. Most patients see 70 to 90% permanent reduction after completing the recommended session course.
