✨ Smooth, Confident Skin Starts Here: Why Laser Hair Reduction Works
Are you tired of shaving, waxing, and the never-ending cycle of regrowth? Laser hair reduction offers a long-term solution that’s safe, effective, and suitable for all skin types — including deeper tones that traditional treatments may struggle with.
At Meraki Beauty Therapy, we use advanced laser technology to deliver results that are not only noticeable but lasting. Here’s how it works — and why it may be a better option for hair reduction than IPL, depending on your skin and hair type.

🔬 How Laser Hair Reduction Works
Laser hair reduction targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicle. A specific wavelength of light is absorbed by the pigment at the base of the hair, which safely heats and disables the follicle, slowing or stopping future growth — without damaging the surrounding skin.
We use a 1064nm Nd:YAG laser, known for its depth and precision. It’s ideal for coarse or dark hair, and especially effective on darker skin tones, thanks to its ability to bypass the surface layer of the skin and work deeper.

💡 Laser vs IPL — Which Is Better?
Both IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and laser have their place in advanced skin care. IPL can be incredibly effective for treating concerns like pigmentation, redness, and overall skin rejuvenation — and we use it often at Meraki Beauty Therapy for those goals.
When it comes to hair reduction, though, laser typically offers a more targeted, consistent result. Laser uses a single, focused wavelength that can penetrate deeper into the follicle, making it more effective for long-term hair reduction — especially in areas with coarse or dense hair, or where previous IPL treatments haven’t delivered strong results.
