What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (laser energy) to target and destroy hair follicles, preventing future hair growth. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, which is then converted into heat that damages the hair follicle, inhibiting its ability to grow new hair. This treatment is suitable for most areas of the body and can be customized to suit your hair and skin type for maximum results.
How Laser Hair Removal Works
During a laser hair removal session, the handheld laser device is applied to the treatment area. The laser emits a gentle pulse of light that targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles. As the light energy is absorbed, the hair follicle is heated and damaged, preventing it from growing new hair. Multiple sessions are required to target hair in different growth phases, and the treatment is typically safe and well-tolerated with minimal downtime.
