What is laser hair removal ? How does it work ?

Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses intense pulsating beams of light, or lasers, to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicles. The energy from the laser then destroys the hair follicle, preventing it from growing back.

During the procedure, the laser is moved over the area being treated, and a cooling device is often used to protect the skin and reduce discomfort. Multiple sessions are usually required to achieve the desired results, as hair grows in cycles and the laser is only effective on actively growing hairs.

Laser hair removal is most effective on people with darker hair and lighter skin, as the laser is attracted to the pigment in the hair. It can be used on various parts of the body, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.

While laser hair removal is generally considered safe, there are some potential risks and side effects, such as skin irritation, redness, and blistering. It is important to have the procedure done by a trained and experienced professional to minimize these risks.
