During the Laser Hair Reduction procedure
It is important for everybody during the procedure, to wear special protective eye wear to prevent eye damage from the laser.
Once the targeted area gets numbed, the doctor focuses a beam of high-energy light on the targeted area.
Hair follicles are in the small cavities of the skin. Hair grows from these follicles. Concentrated light is used to affect these hair follicles. The hair follicle absorbs the laser which makes the hair vaporizes instantly.
The pigment called melanin in the hair attracts the laser, so darker hair absorbs the laser more effectively. People having dark hair and light skin are ideal candidates for laser hair reduction.
Laser hair reduction delays hair growth for long periods of time and also makes the hair finer with sitting. With multiple sessions, a dermatologist can perform significant hair reduction.
