Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses a laser to remove unwanted hair from various parts of the body. The laser emits a concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles, which then heats up and destroys the hair follicle, preventing further hair growth.
The procedure is most commonly used to remove hair on the legs, underarms, bikini area, face, and other areas of the body. It is a non-invasive and relatively painless method of hair removal, and it is typically more effective and longer-lasting than other hair removal methods like shaving, waxing, or depilatory creams.
It usually requires multiple sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to achieve the desired results, and the number of sessions required can vary depending on the individual’s skin and hair type, the area being treated, and other factors. Laser hair removal can be performed by trained professionals in a dermatologist’s office, medical spa, or other specialized clinics.
