Synergy Max LHR laser hair reduction
At Dr Yash Aesthetics, we use MedTech Lasers Synergy Max LHR to target suitable pigmented hair and reduce regrowth over a course of treatments.
How it works
Long-lasting hair reduction
Laser energy targets pigment in the hair follicle. The aim is lasting reduction, although results vary and some regrowth or maintenance treatment may occur.
Best suited to: Hair with enough pigment for the laser to target. White, grey, blonde and very fine downy hair generally respond poorly.

What does it feel like?
You may feel warmth or brief snapping sensations. Temporary redness or sensitivity can follow.
Downtime: Most people return to everyday activities, following the aftercare advice for the area treated.
Explore treatment and aftercare ↗Your course
How many sessions?
Several sessions are usually needed because hairs grow in cycles. The number and spacing depend on the area, hair and individual response.
Plan: We explain the proposed course and any likely maintenance after your assessment.
Plan your course ↗03 / Before treatment
Start with a skin and hair assessment
We review skin tone, hair colour, recent tanning, medicines and medical history. We explain preparation, patch testing where indicated and what to avoid between appointments.
Good to know
Shaving and hair removal
Shaving is usually possible between appointments. Waxing or plucking removes the hair from the root and can interfere with the planned course; follow the instructions given at consultation.
Medical context
Unexpected hair growth?
If facial or body hair has increased suddenly, or is accompanied by other symptoms, a medical review may be more useful before starting cosmetic treatment.
Helpful answers
Frequently asked questions
Is laser hair removal permanent?
It aims for long-lasting hair reduction. Some hair can regrow and maintenance sessions may be needed.
Can you treat both my face and body?
Yes, suitable facial and body areas can be included in a personalised plan, including a full-body course.
Can darker skin tones be treated?
Suitability depends on your skin, hair and the device settings. We assess this before recommending treatment.
Can you treat blonde, white or grey hair?
Laser generally works poorly on hair with little pigment, including white, grey, blonde and very fine downy hair.
Will I need time off work?
Most people return to normal daily activities. Temporary redness or sensitivity may occur, and we provide aftercare for each treatment area.
How many sessions will I need?
A course is normally needed. We recommend the number and spacing after assessing your hair and skin.
