Frequently Asked Questions
How Does Laser Work for Hair Removal?
The laser emits a beam of light which passes through the top layers of the skin and targets and destroys the hair follicle. The laser light is absorbed by the pigment in the shaft of the hair and follicle. The energy from the laser heats and permanently destroys the stem holding the hair which then falls out. New hair cells are also prevented from forming due to the destruction of blood supply.
