When laser is used to destroy hair follicles, so unwanted hair does not grow on the body, it is called laser hair reduction or removal. If the follicle is only damaged and not destroyed, hair might still grow even after treatment. The laser light passes through the hair shaft to the follicle, and the heat destroys it so it can no longer grow hair. You might need more than one sitting to stop complete hair growth in a particular area. Some of the side effects of this procedure are burning, stinging, discomfort, changes in skin color, scar formation, and blisters. Laser hair reduction is more effective in individuals with light skin as compared to dark-skinned individuals.
