Laser hair removal is a medical procedure that uses a concentrated beam of light (laser) to remove unwanted hair. The laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. This destroys the hair follicle, preventing future hair growth.

Laser hair removal is a safe and effective procedure for most people. However, it is important to consult with a dermatologist to make sure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. There are a few side effects that can occur, such as redness, swelling, and itching. These side effects are usually temporary and go away within a few days. In rare cases, more serious side effects can occur, such as blistering, scarring, and changes in skin color.
