General introduction to laser hair removal devices

Laser hair removal is one of the best technologies used by dermatologists and hair specialists, in which the hair is exposed to laser pulses, the hair follicle is weakened and destroyed. The process of hair removal varies from person to person, but it is expected that significant results from the treatment will be seen within 6 to 8 sessions. It should be noted that the person’s hair will not fall out immediately after the treatment. At least one week after the laser is performed, the hair will start to fall out, and about 80% of the hair will fall out after the first session. One of the notable points of laser devices is the power of the devices. The higher the power of the device, the more powerful it is and the more noticeable the results will be. Higher power has the ability to remove thinner hair because with laser treatment, the hair gradually becomes thinner and only high-power devices will be able to remove thin hair.
