Here's How Laser Hair Removal Works

The Laser emits a pulse of energy and the heat from the laser's light is absorbed by the pigment/melanin in the hair follicle. 

When the laser light pulse reaches the follicle it damages and/or destroys the hair follicle at the root thus producing a long-term reduction of hair growth.
