Laser hair removal uses lasers to target the pigment (melanin) in hair follicles, damaging them and hindering future hair growth. Advanced laser hair removal refers to newer technologies that offer improved effectiveness, faster treatment times, and better suitability for various skin and hair types compared to older lasers.
Pros: Long-lasting hair reduction, effective on most skin and hair types (with advanced lasers), minimal discomfort with newer technologies.
Cons: Multiple sessions required for permanent results, can be expensive, not suitable for all hair colors (especially very light or white hair).
Alternatives: Waxing, shaving, electrolysis.
Recovery: Minimal downtime, occasional redness or swelling possible after treatment, sun protection is crucial.
