Laser hair removal is a popular cosmetic procedure that uses a laser to remove unwanted hair from the body. The laser works by targeting the melanin (pigment) in the hair, heating it up and destroying the hair follicle, preventing it from growing back.
The procedure is most effective on individuals with dark hair and light skin, although advances in technology have made it possible to treat people with a wider range of skin and hair types. It is a safe and effective option for people of all skin tones and hair types.
The procedure is typically done in a series of treatments, usually six to eight sessions, with each session spaced four to six weeks apart. After the initial series of treatments, maintenance sessions may be needed to keep the hair from growing back.
During the procedure, the laser is passed over the skin in a sweeping motion, targeting the hair follicles. The treatment may cause a mild burning sensation, but most people find it tolerable. After the procedure, the skin may be red and swollen, but this usually subsides within a few hours.
The laser hair removal procedure is popular among men and women of all ages who are looking to remove unwanted hair from the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini area and back.
