Understanding Unwanted Facial And Body Hair
How Does Laser Hair Removal Work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting pigment within the hair follicle using concentrated light energy. The follicle absorbs the energy, which damages its ability to regrow hair over time.
Because hair grows in cycles, multiple treatments are required to effectively target hairs during their active growth phase.
Laser hair removal can help reduce:
-
unwanted facial hair
-
coarse body hair
-
ingrown hairs
-
razor bumps
-
irritation from shaving or waxing
-
dark shadowing from frequent hair removal
Common treatment areas include:
-
upper lip
-
chin
-
jawline
-
underarms
-
bikini line
-
Brazilian
-
legs
