Laser hair removal is a cosmetic procedure that uses concentrated beams of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser targets the melanin (pigment) in the hair follicles, heating them up and damaging them to inhibit future hair growth. It is commonly used on areas like the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line, and back.
Laser hair removal offers long-term hair reduction, smoother skin, and a more precise alternative to traditional hair removal methods like shaving or waxing. While generally safe, it can cause temporary side effects such as redness, swelling, and mild skin irritation, which usually subside within a few hours.
Results
Laser hair removal results vary depending on skin type, hair color, and the area being treated, but most people experience a significant reduction in hair growth after multiple sessions.
