Laser hair removal uses laser pulses to destroy hair follicles and prevent their regrowth. The emitted light is absorbed by the melanin in the hair follicles, which damages them and stops their growth.
The pain depends on individual tolerance and the area being treated. However, most people report a slight tingling or burning sensation, which is often mitigated by a cooling system integrated into the laser.
The duration of a laser hair removal session depends on the size of the area being treated, but it generally does not take more than 30 minutes. Multiple sessions will be necessary to achieve optimal results.
Laser hair removal is considered permanent because it damages hair follicles and prevents regrowth. However, there may be residual hair that requires a small annual maintenance.
