*Light Absorption: The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair.
*Heat Generation: The absorbed light converts into heat, which damages the hair follicle.
*Hair Growth Inhibition: The damage to the follicle disrupts its ability to produce new hair, leading to reduced hair growth over time.
*Long-Term Reduction: Provides a significant and long-lasting reduction in hair growth after a series of treatments.
*Precision: Targets specific hairs without damaging the surrounding skin.
*Speed: Can treat large areas relatively quickly. Small areas like the upper lip can be treated in minutes, while larger areas like the back or legs may take longer.
*Hair and Skin Type: The effectiveness of laser hair removal can vary based on hair color, hair thickness, and skin type. It is most effective for individuals with dark hair and light skin due to the contrast in pigment.
*Multiple Sessions: Hair grows in different stages, so multiple sessions are usually needed to target hairs in their active growth phase (anagen).
