Laser Hair Removal is a simple process with a laser. Specific wavelengths of laser light are attracted to specific places, more specifically colors. With laser hair removal, the target is the hair follicle. The heat produced by the laser kills the follicle. The result is permanent removal of the hair. The process frequently is done without any anesthesia, but some people prefer a topical anesthetic. The procedure feels much like pin pricks or snapping of a rubber band on your skin. This process removes hair at any place on the body where the machine can target.
Laser hair removal typically takes 5-6 treatments. Hair grows in various phases and is only sensitive to the laser during one specific period in that growth cycle. This is why multiple treatments are required. Some people with get a small percentage of re-growth of hair over time and a later touch up may be in order.
Laser energy is absorbed by the darker colors. For this reason very
light colored hair is difficult to remove. Fine red and blond hair is particularly
difficult to treat with lasers.
