Laser Hair Removal
1. How does a laser remove unwanted hair?
A laser focuses light energy at a specific wavelength into a narrow beam just a few millimeters in diameter. The selection of wavelength for laser hair removal is important for achieving optimal results and avoiding skin damage. At the proper wavelength and energy, the laser light penetrates the skin attacking the hair follicle without damaging the surrounding tissue. Hair that is in an active growth phase will be destroyed by the energy absorbed from the laser light.
