    uses concentrated light to destroy hair follicles

    Laser Hair Removal (LHR) is a medical procedure that uses concentrated light beams (lasers) to target and destroy hair follicles, thereby reducing or eliminating hair growth in the treated area. The laser emits a specific wavelength of light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair, which converts the light energy into heat and damages the follicle without harming the surrounding skin. This method is popular for its long-lasting results compared to traditional hair removal techniques like shaving or waxing.
