Let’s take a look at what Laser Hair Removal is. Our experts also elaborate on the do’s and don’ts surrounding this clinical procedure.
What is Laser Hair Removal?
Laser Hair Removal is the process of reducing hair growth by destroying the root of the hair follicles through a laser treatment. With the help of pulses of light designed to heat the hair follicle (till it dies), unwanted hair strands are destroyed at the target sight. This includes the use of specific wavelengths of light that targets pigment to keep the skin unharmed.
