Laser hair removal works by giving off a specific frequency of light that is taken in by melanin or- pigment in hair follicles. That energy is then converted to heat, which damages the follicles and prevents them from producing new hair. Of course, with time, the treated hair falls out leaving the skin smoother and hair-free than by alternative treatments like hair removal creams or even waxing. So, while it does require some time for you to “trust the process,” the technique is much more advanced in producing effective results than its alternatives.
