Laser hair removal works by targeting the melanin pigment in hair follicles, heating them to a point where they are damaged and unable to produce new hair. This technique allows the laser to focus on the hair follicles without damaging the skin surrounding the chin. Unlike temporary methods like waxing or shaving, laser treatment offers a more permanent solution by targeting the hair at its root.
Laser hair removal offers long-term reduction in hair growth, making it a convenient solution for those tired of frequent maintenance.
