What is Laser Hair Removal and how does it work?

At its simplest, laser hair removal is the process of using a laser – a high-intensity beam of light – to target hair root cells, causing the hair to be shed and in time preventing regrowth.

The pigment in the hair follicle is the target of the laser used in hair removal, and for this reason laser hair removal is less potent on white, gray or extremely blonde hair. However, there are new laser hair removal treatments that can be used for nearly all people.

The lasers used in hair removal treatment work their magic best on new, baby hairs. This is why, when you arrange your laser hair removal sessions, you will need to make a number of appointments. After the first treatment you will see hair growing back - these are the next set of hairs that need to be treated.

This is why the schedule of laser hair removal treatments are so important – most people will need at least three iterations of laser treatment, and you should ensure that you follow your doctor or beauty therapist's schedule closely to get the best results.

These include rashes in the body parts you wish to have hair removal performed on, and if you have recently had certain acne treatments.
