Laser Hair Removal Treatment: All you need to know How does Laser hair removal work • The laser light targets the hair follicle. This energy from the light destroys the hair follicle. And this prevents the hair follicle from producing more hairs. The strong beam of light can only be absorbed by the hair follicle, but the neighboring tissues remain unaffected. Laser vs. electrolysis • Laser hair removal is also known as selective photo-thermolysis. The concentrated heat from light selectively targets the hair and not your skin. Remember that laser hair removal isn’t electrolysis. Electrolysis directs an electric current into an individual hair follicle and can be very painful as well as time-consuming. But with lasers, the heat will only target a huge amount of hairs at a time, which is not as painful as electrolysis.
