Laser hair removal is a light based medical procedure used to remove unwanted hair. A pulsating light is placed over the area and sends a light laser through the skin. The intense heat from this light destroys the hair follicle immediately. This method of hair removal is most often used by women to remove leg, armpit, facial and bikini line hair.
While this can be very effective for some women, the system might take multiple visits to remove all unwanted hair from the given area. The process targets the melanin in hair, a dark pigment. This means that the current technology is most effective on lighter skinned and darker haired clients. There are treatments designed for clients who do not fit into this category, but they have been tested as less successful in total hair removal. Many specialized clinics have services available in laser hair removal. Toronto alone has more than fifty locations offering the procedure.
