Laser hair removal uses a low-energy laser. The laser energy passes through the patient’s skin, being absorbed by the pigment in the hair follicle. A percentage of the follicles are instantaneously and permanently disabled with each treatment. In most cases, no anesthesia is necessary.

The Laser hair removal process involves the zapping of unwanted hair from parts of the body. Although the risk is low, there is a chance of complications if you get the treatments at unlicensed facilities. An example is a Long Island lady who got a lot more than hair taken off. Her skin was burned as the technician who performed the procedure had the incorrect setting and resulted in a very, very intense, very powerful burn. Only a trained experts know the proper setting for your hair and skin type. Before you have any laser treatment, ask if a doctor, preferably a dermatologist, will be performing the procedure.
