What Is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser hair removal is a non-invasive treatment that uses concentrated light to heat and disable hair follicles, reducing their ability to grow new hair. The laser targets melanin, the pigment in hair, so the follicle absorbs the energy while the surrounding skin is protected.
Because hair grows in cycles and only actively growing hairs respond, treatment is performed as a series of sessions spaced several weeks apart. According to the Mayo Clinic, most people need 4 to 8 treatments for their best results.
