If you’ve ever felt that you have hair that grows in unflattering places or grows back much faster than you’d like, you may have considered reaching out to a laser hair removal expert. Laser hair removal is a specific non-invasive procedure that works to remove any and all unwanted body hair. It is often used on the back, underarms, and bikini-based areas of the body.
Laser hair removal works by using heat from a laser to perform a specific process known as selective photothermolysis . The heat generated from this procedure works to destroy the pigmented cells in that particular part of the body. When focused on hair, the heat is absorbed into the hair follicles, destroying them so that the hair essentially falls off and can’t grow back.
One thing many people ask is if a laser hair removal procedure is permanent or if you’d need to get several sessions over time. The answer is that, while it isn’t permanent, you can reasonably expect the effects of the procedure to last considerably longer than from shaving or waxing.
