Smooth skin, no fuzz, Laser hair reduction which is also known as laser hair removal, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to reduce unwanted hair growth on various parts of the body. This treatment involves the use of concentrated light energy from a laser to target and damage hair follicles, inhibiting future hair growth.
During the procedure, a specialized laser emits a highly concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair follicles. This light energy converts to heat, effectively damaging the follicles and impeding their ability to produce new hair without causing harm to the surrounding skin. Laser hair reduction can be performed on different body areas, including the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini lines, and more. The effectiveness of the treatment often requires multiple sessions, as hair grows in cycles and the laser targets hair in the active growth phase. The procedure is relatively quick, depending on the treatment area's size, and is generally well-tolerated by most individuals, experiencing only mild discomfort often likened to a rubber band snapping against the skin.
