Laser Hair Removal
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses laser technology to permanently reduce or eliminate unwanted hair. The treatment involves directing concentrated beams of light at hair follicles, which are absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This process damages the follicles, inhibiting future hair growth. The procedure is effective for various areas of the body, including the legs, underarms, and face, and is known for its precision, speed, and minimal discomfort. Multiple sessions are often required to achieve optimal results, as hair grows in different stages, and the laser is most effective during the active growth phase.
