Laser Hair Removal
What Is Laser Hair Removal? A Non-Invasive Treatment
Hair removal lasers target the melanin in hair follicles without heating the rest of the skin. The intense heat of the laser damages the follicle to inhibit hair growth effectively.
The laser targets the hair follicle while leaving the surrounding skin untouched. This precision helps effectively rid the area of hair without irritating the skin.
Candidates for Laser Hair Removal
Certain candidates are more suited for laser hair removal than others. We'll consider the following factors when determining if laser hair removal is right for you:
Skin Type
The laser works by heating dark colors in the follicle, which destroys the follicle. Because of this, the treatment works best on those with a combination of light skin and dark hair. However, newer lasers are being produced for patients with darker skin tones.
Hair Type
Similar to skin tone, the ideal hair type for treatment is dark and coarse hair, rather than fine and light hair. The laser will have greater difficulty discerning between light skin and light hair, resulting in an ineffective laser hair removal treatment.
