Laser Hair Removal: Small Area

Small area includes 1 of the following: Under arm, bikini lines, hands, feet, and breast area A Small area can be bundled to include the Chin, upper lip, and sideburns. During laser hair removal, a laser emits a light that is absorbed by the pigment (melanin) in the hair. The light energy is converted to heat, which damages the tube-shaped sacs within the skin (hair follicles) that produce hairs. This damage inhibits or delays future hair growth.
