What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is the process of permanent hair reduction, which is considered long-term, stable reduction in the number of hairs that regrow once the process has been completed.
Although the science behind laser hair removal is complex, it essentially works by using lasers to target localized areas of the skin (in this case, a hair follicle) and damaging that area where hair growth occurs.
Because the laser is precise, the surrounding skin does not become damaged. The reason this works is because the laser targets dark matter (the hair follicle area is dark relative to the skin)
which absorbs the light and keeps the rest of the skin from becoming damaged.
What parts of the body do we treat?
Not too long ago, laser hair removal procedures were limited to specific types of hair on specific parts of the body.
Today, there is a laser hair removal treatment for every case. Thick, thin or fair hair, dark skin, light skin or sensitive areas of the body with the appropriate lasers for your specific hair removal needs.
