    TLDR Laser hair removal is an advanced and effective method for removing unwanted hair.
    The document discussed the embryology and anatomy of hair follicles, the phases of hair growth, and the causes of hirsutism and hypertrichosis. It reviewed traditional non-laser hair removal techniques like shaving, waxing, and electrolysis, noting their limitations in providing permanent results. The focus was on the emerging use of lasers for hair removal, highlighting their precision and selectivity, which minimized side effects and complications while effectively treating large areas of unwanted hair. The acceptance of laser-assisted hair removal by both physicians and patients reflected its efficacy and improved outcomes compared to older methods.
