How do hair-removal lasers work?
These lasers target melanin, the dark pigment in the hair shaft. The hair shaft absorbs the energy and transforms it into heat, which will damage hair follicles. The devices are specifically designed to emit a laser beam which will be absorbed only by hair pigment, not the skin. The treatment is safe and most effective, even when treating darker skin types. There are no side effects, like skin burning or darkening. The devices also incorporate a coolant spray to help protect upper skin layers.

How many treatments are required?
It depends on the areas of the hair on the body. However, you can expect at least 3 treatments. For example, only three to four treatments would be required for a mole near the mouth, but it could take six to eight treatments for armpit hair, and a treatment might need to be repeated within one to three months after the initial set of treatments to remove any new hair.

What is the side effect?
Your skin may have a slightly pink or tiny red bumps at the site of the hair follicles. This is temporary and is a good sign that the laser has heated the follicle. But don’t worry, it will recover overnight.

What are the benefits?
	It removes hair follicles so hair will slowly be reduced until all has been removed, which is different than temporary hair removal treatments with which hair follicles will continue to produce the same amount of hair as previously.
	The area where the hair is removed, such as the leg or underarm will remain smooth, firmer and even appear whiter as the laser will help reduce skin tone cells as well as stimulate collagen cell growth.
	As the laser removes hair from the underarm, it also helps alleviate small bumps and dark wrinkles as skin is no longer bothered and has less chance of becoming infected from plucking or applying a roll-on.
	Enhances beauty and confidence as skin appears cleaner and brighter once hair has been removed from spots such as facial moles or from the legs.
