What is laser hair removal ? Laser hair removal or reduction treatment is a medical cosmetic procedure of hair removal by means of exposure to pulses of laser light that destroy the hair follicles. It had been performed experimentally for about twenty years before becoming commercially available in the mid-1990s. It is a great way to stop hair from growing in unwanted places, permanent hair reduction.

How does laser hair removal or reduction work?

Laser hair removal works by targeting your hair follicles through a series of treatments with concentrated beams of light. The laser hair removal / reduction machines emit light beams that are very precise. The dark color hair follicles under skin absorb the intense light energy which turns into heat that builds up and destroys those hair follicles. The result is permanent hair reduction and smother skin.

Your hair follicles are not all active at once and laser treatments will only work on hair that is actively growing, therefore multiple treatments are needed to permanently reduce hair growth and results may vary in patients. The number of required treatments depends on many factors such as hair color, coarseness of hair, skin color and treated areas. Nevertheless getting rid of unwanted hair is so easy and comfortable with the advanced technologies that have become available to us in the past 10 years.
