Laser Hair Removal

Laser Hair Removal - A Brief Overview

Laser hair removal makes use of one of the more cutting-edge technologies in existence – the laser beam and the power and energy it generates. Medical science has learned how not only to harness, but also to focus this intense energy in a safe and practical manner that provides immediate cosmetic benefits for those who yearn for them.

In terms of laser hair removal, the procedure is done by fixing a laser of energy onto an area of the body that needs hair removed. This laser tends to penetrate the outer layer of the skin and is absorbed by the root of the hair follicles. This absorption will basically ‘kill’ the hair follicle in regards to its ability to continue to produce hair.

While this is a relatively quick and relatively painless procedure, it would be unsafe to attempt to remove all unwanted hair in a particular area of the body. Therefore, patients should expect to undergo anywhere between three and five total treatments before that area of the body is completely free of hair.
