How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?

Laser hair removal technology is simple but ingenious, and a primary example of how advancements in science continue to make life more satisfying. Of course, the process uses laser, but more importantly, the lasers are tuned very specifically.

Essentially, the lasers used to remove hair are targeted toward darker pigment, which appears at the roots of the hair. The lasers seek out areas with this pigment specifically, and disintegrate them.

The benefits of these targeted lasers are twofold: The hair follicles themselves can be easily located for treatment, and the surrounding cells are protected. Only the melanin is touched by lasers, so the skin, which has a lighter pigment, does not get damaged.

The Least Pain with the Most Benefit

Again, laser hair removal will involve some pain. During the procedure itself, the pain can be described as sharp, being felt at about the same level as a rubber band snap or a small bug bite. Following the laser hair removal procedure, some patients experience soreness in the skin surrounding the area, but it is easily treatable with topical ointments.

Also, realize that hair growth is minimized, but may not be eliminated completely without further treatments. However, unlike shaving and waxing where the hair returns fully in a short time, or bleaching which is also temporary and only provides mild superficial benefits, laser hair removal gives satisfying long-term results that hold up on close inspection.

If you prefer a smooth body over a hairy one, then you have several options to choose from to get rid of full on hair, bristles or stubble- these include shaving, hair removal creams, waxing, and also laser hair removal.
