Everything You Need to Know About Laser Hair Removal
Updated At: 27-September-2024

Laser hair removal is a procedure that eliminates unwanted body hair. It is commonly performed on areas such as the underarms, back, or bikini area. The results last longer than traditional methods like shaving or waxing. Most people require about six treatments for optimal results.
This procedure is noninvasive, which means it does not involve any cuts in the skin. During laser hair removal, a laser emits light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs (hair follicles) in the skin that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
Over time, patients typically experience a significant and long-term reduction in hair growth, leading to a smoother and less hairy appearance in the treated area. It's important to have the procedure performed by an experienced healthcare provider, preferably a doctor who is board-certified in a specialty such as dermatology.
