What is Laser Hair Removal?

• Hair is a natural substance which appears on
  almost every ones body. Originally this feature
  was to help humans stay warm. However, with
  modern housing and central heating this is no
  longer an issue.
• This has led to the idea of hair free skin.
  Women are generally expected to be hair free
  whilst men get to retain their hair. The
  exception is sports people even sports men
  remove the hair from their bodies to help them
  move faster.
• There are several ways of removing the hair from
  your skin but one of the most popular is laser
  hair removal. This practice removes your hair
  permanently and is almost painless.

Laser Hair Removal Treatment All you need to know

• How does Laser hair removal work

• Laser vs. electrolysis

• The laser light targets the hair follicle. This
  energy from the light destroys the hair follicle.
  And this prevents the hair follicle from
  producing more hairs. The strong beam of light
  can only be absorbed by the hair follicle, but
  the neighboring tissues remain unaffected.

• Laser hair removal is also known as selective
  photo-thermolysis. The concentrated heat from
  light selectively targets the hair and not your
  skin. Remember that laser hair removal isnt
  electrolysis. Electrolysis directs an electric
  current into an individual hair follicle and can
  be very painful as well as time-consuming. But
  with lasers, the heat will only target a huge
  amount of hairs at a time, which is not as
  painful as electrolysis.

Laser Technology

  fast, and super accurate than everfor nearly all
  types of skin.

  ten inches off your shoulder hair and undergo a
  series of laser bean hair removal especially on
  your face. A few decades ago, when resurfacing
  laser beam technology first come into the realm
  of dermatology with a lot of promises of
  science-fiction breakthroughs, very high
  expectations led to many disappointments. Medical
  engineers wanted something that could direct a
  beam of intense light on the skin to burn off the
  excess hair, for a hair-free skin. However, this
  didnt work as expected. Instead the first laser
  device could literally inflict pain on patients.
  This resulted in months-long sunburns. And for
  those with darker skin, lasers proved risky at
  best.

  offer cheaper treatment. For instance, the cost
  of bikini laser hair removal treatments is not

  results. On that note, with cheaper laser
  treatment, you might end up with burns and
  blisters.
