Laser hair removal is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures worldwide, yet it's surrounded by misinformation. Let's clear the air.

Myth 1: It's not safe for dark skin

Correction: Modern lasers like the Long-pulsed Nd:YAG are specifically designed to bypass surface melanin, making them incredibly safe and effective for darker skin tones.

Myth 2: It's 100% permanent after one session

Correction: It is 'permanent hair reduction.' You need multiple sessions (usually 6-8) to target hair in all its growth phases.
