Laser hair removal is a treatment performed using a diode laser, which emits a focused beam of light to target and destroy hair in its active growth phase. Hairs in other stages of the growth cycle aren’t fully damaged during the session—they may grow back more slowly, but won’t be completely removed. That’s why a series of treatments is necessary to achieve lasting results. After a session, treated hairs remain in the skin and gradually move toward the surface, which can give the impression that hair is still growing. However, these hairs will fall out naturally around 14 days after the procedure, leaving the skin silky smooth. Laser hair removal is also the most effective solution for the so-called “black dots” — the visible stubble that appears just a day or two after shaving, which can’t be fully removed with razors or waxing.
