What is laser har removal?

Laser hair removal is a form of light energy that penetrates into the skin tissue. The energy delivered from the laser is absorbed into the skin, heating the hair follicle with enough energy to destroy the actively growing hair while protecting the surrounding tissue. The concept of laser hair removal "selective photothermolysis" was developed by Dr. Rox Anderson in 1983. Laser hair removal is recognized by the Food and Drug Administration as Permanent Hair Reduction. At the present time, Permanent hair Reduction cannot remove hair without pigment (white, gray, or red hair) or hair below the orbital bone of the eye.
