Hello. Thanks for writing to us at healthcaremagic

Laser hair reduction (LHR) is a very safe and reliable way for hair reduction.
It is US FDA approved for hair reduction.

Apart from mild redness after the sitting which usually resolves in 1-2 hours, and by ice application, there are really no side effects at all if done by a well trained/experienced expert.

It certainly does'nt affect fertility and you need not worry about it at all

Normally 6-8 sittings will give you a good hair reduction.
The hair will become finer, the density will be greatly reduced.

Regards
