How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal involves the use of laser pulses. These pulses emit light into the skin that is attracted to pigment in the hair follicle. As long as the hair is in the active growth phase when treated, the laser destroys the root and follicle of the hair. At each treatment, anywhere from 5-15% of the hairs are in the active growth phase, therefore several treatments are required to get the desired hair removal results.
