Dr. Charles Mok, with 20+ years in laser hair removal, explains why results vary so widely. Some patients see excellent outcomes while others get poor results. The difference comes down to device strength, patient factors, or how the clinic performs the treatment.
Let me talk about laser hair removal, which is a business we've been in for over 20 years. The first laser hair device that was FDA cleared to permanently reduce hair was in the 1990s and lure started in the early 2000s. We have early experience. There's a lot of people doing laser hair now, and I'm seeing kind of perceived lower quality treatment failures. And let's talk about what's going on, why it's working great for some people, not for others. Is it the laser? Is it the technology? Is laser not strong enough? Is it the patient? Is the clinic?
