Intense and focused heat through laser is applied over skin while removing hair. This heat is directed at hair follicles under the skin. As the hair follicles contain a certain dark pigment known as melanin, the heat generated by the laser is absorbed by the dark melanin. The intense heat destroys the hair follicle. The procedure has the highest success rate on people with dark hair and light skin. It does not work on hair that is gray, white, light red, very light brown or blonde. Although not appropriate for everyone, the procedure has a success rate of up to 90 percent on qualified patients. Several treatments may be needed in order to produce long or permanent periods of hairlessness.
