How does it work?

Laser hair removal involves the application of a laser beam over skin that wants to be made free of hair. This beam is absorbed by the follicles, the heat in the beam dries them out, causing them to fall off. Now since it involves the production of heat, some pain is expected. But it varies from machine to machine, and machines which use a cool dip laser probe (it balances the heat produced), or a vacuum-assisted laser probe (the skin is pulled towards the laser beam so that the pain associated is reduced) ensure that the pain is almost nil.
