Laser Hair Removal is a method to remove unwanted hair. It works by focusing a concentrated light (laser) onto the hair follicle. The light is absorbed by the pigment in the hair, leading to heat that damages the hair follicles. Laser Hair Removal requires several appointments, and may need maintenance treatments.
