How does the Laser Hair Removal treatment work?
Lasers designed for hair removal emit light at wavelengths specifically designed to be absorbed by the pigment in the hair (melanin). If the surrounding skin is relatively light compared to the color of the hair, then the entire energy of the laser will be concentrated in the hair shaft, effectively destroying it without damaging the skin. The Altus CoolGlide laser incorporates a cooling and chilling before the laser fires, protecting the skin and allowing more energy to be applied to the hair.
