Laser hair removal involves using concentrated light to eliminate unwanted hair. The laser’s light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, and the hair follicle is damaged, which kills the hair and delays further growth. Results are usually not permanent after just one treatment, so you may require additional sessions and maintenance treatments.
