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.
