Laser hair reduction (LHR) is an advanced aesthetic treatment that uses a high-energy beam of light in a focused manner to destroy stem cells found in hair follicles systematically. This eradicates the possibility of new hair growth and delivers long-lasting results. The innovative use of laser technology for hair removal offers a high degree of precision, causing no damage to the surrounding skin.
What is laser hair removal?
Laser hair removal is a procedure to remove unwanted hair on your body. It’s noninvasive, which means it doesn’t require any cuts in your skin. People may get this treatment on any part of their body, but the most common hair removal services are:
• Facial hair removal
• Upper lip and chin hair removal
• Underarm hair removal
• Bikini (private part/pubic) hair removal
• Leg hair removal
• Chest, abdomen and back hair removal
• Arms and upper body hair removal
• Full body hair removal
How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal uses a process called selective photothermolysis. Heat from a laser destroys cells that have a lot of pigment (color). Since dark hair has a lot of pigment, it absorbs the most heat. Hair transfers heat to the hair follicles and destroys them, so hair can’t grow. A hair follicle has to be in its anagen, or growth, stage for the procedure to work. Follicles are in different stages at different times, so most people need multiple laser treatments.
