How does it work & Benefits
Laser hair removal aims to prevent hair growth in some areas of the body where hair growth is not desired for cosmetic reasons, or for the purpose of treating excess hair, as laser treatment works to prevent hair growth by damaging its follicles.
Benefits:
Laser hair removal treatment relies on targeting melanin cells, which leads to the disintegration of hair follicles, and delays the growth of new hair in the area exposed to radiation.
It is important to know that laser treatment does not guarantee that hair will stop growing completely, but it helps to significantly reduce the amount of hair that grows
