Laser hair reduction is a process where hair growth is restricted using a laser. The laser targets the hair follicles and kills the follicle to inhibit hair growth. People, irrespective of their age and gender are opting for this method of hair reduction. It is currently the safest US-FDA-approved method of hair reduction.
The laser emits a highly concentrated beam of light that is absorbed by the melanin pigment present in the hair follicles. The light energy absorbed by the cell is converted to heat within the hair follicle that eventually destroys it. Since it specifically targets only the hair follicles there is little to almost no damage to the surrounding skin. It is effective on all skin types.
