How does laser hair removal work?
Laser hair removal works by targeting the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles with concentrated light energy. During the procedure, a laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the melanin in the hair. This light energy converts into heat, which damages the hair follicles' structure without harming the surrounding skin. The damage to the hair follicles inhibits their ability to produce new hair, leading to a significant reduction in hair growth over time.
The process involves using a diode laser beam that penetrates the skin to reach the hair follicles. The laser’s heat energy is precisely controlled to destroy the follicles while sparing the surrounding tissue. To enhance patient comfort, advanced laser systems like DiolazeXL are equipped with built-in cooling surfaces, which cool the skin during treatment, making the procedure virtually painless. Multiple sessions are required to achieve optimal results.
