Let’s start by answering the question – YES, the laser hair removal procedure is safe and permanent. In this article, we will try to dissect some of the elements that make this procedure an all-in-one solution to remove unwanted hair permanently.
Unwanted body and facial hair could cause distress in so many ways. Women spend thousands per month on waxing and threading.
Instead of emptying your pocket to a lifetime painful waxing and threading, you can choose to remove the unwanted hair entirely within a short period. The laser hair removal cost comes way lesser than the conventional hair removal methods when you dig deep into it.
Fact: Did you know that laser hair removal is the 3rd most in-demand cosmetic procedure, worldwide?
Laser hair treatment- Explained
Laser hair treatment is no rocket science. It is a simple and effective procedure that is the ripest fruit of modern technology. Concentrated beams of light are focussed on the hair follicles. The melanin absorbs the light that is emitted by the laser beam in the skin. The light energy that is absorbed is then converted into heat energy. The heat energy destroys the melanin in the hair follicles.
It will be more apparent if laser treatment is explained using one of the top equipment that is used worldwide.
