Laser Hair Removal - All You Must Know About It!

Laser hair removal is gaining more popularity by the day. In an era when people live their lives at a break-neck pace, squeezing time out of a busy schedule to shave and remove unwanted hair every day is quite a bother. For people on the go, laser hair removal is a blessing.

What is Laser Hair Removal? 
Laser hair removal is a procedure during which body hairs are exposed to pulses of laser. The concentrated energy of the laser beam destroys the basal stem cells of the hair follicles and this means those hairs will never regrow. The energy present in the laser is drawn towards darker and coarser hair. So, laser hair removal is the most effective on people with pigmented hair. But the procedure can be modulated to suit the unique needs of different people.
Laser hair removal can be a little painful. Some people compare the sensation to a rubber band being snapped against the skin. You will need to sit through a number of sessions depending on the amount of hair to be removed. The hairs that have been exposed to laser gradually fall off in the next 1-3 weeks.

Areas of the skin that are treated-

• Eyebrows -
A well-defined and finely shaped pair of eyebrows is a kind of grooming imperative. Upkeep of eyebrows requires people to get them tweezed or threaded every other week, which can be quite tedious. That is why many people are opting for a permanent solution. Laser hair removal-
