Laser hair removal is a straightforward procedure that typically takes place in a dermatologist’s or licensed technician’s office. You may experience a mild stinging sensation during the procedure, which many describe as tolerable.
The duration of each session varies depending on the area being treated, ranging from a few minutes for small areas like the upper lip to around an hour for larger areas like the back or legs. Results are not instant, as it takes time for treated hairs to fall out naturally.
At the heart of laser hair removal lies a simple yet remarkable principle: the power of light. Lasers produce a specific wavelength of light that travels through the skin, targeting the pigment within the hair follicle. This pigment, called melanin, absorbs the laser’s energy and converts it into heat. As the temperature in the hair follicle rises, it damages the follicle’s structure, effectively disrupting its ability to grow hair. In simpler terms, laser hair removal zaps unwanted hair at its source, preventing it from regrowing.
