If you’re not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal is a great option nowadays. It beams highly concentrated light into the hair follicles, the pigment in the follicles absorb the light and that destroys the hair.
Lasers are great for removing unwanted hair from pretty much everywhere nowadays, like the face, legs, arms, underarms, bikini line and plenty of other areas. The great thing with laser hair removal is its precision. Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged. Quick note though, you should try avoid sun exposure for around six weeks after treatment.
