Over the past several years, the use of laser and light treatment for hair removal has increased and has been acknowledged through numerous clinical studies as an effective, long-lasting solution. Original laser systems were costly and slow to operate, but technology has improved considerably in recent years to the point where small, less expensive units that use a spot size big enough to treat even larger areas of the body (such as the legs, back and chest) are now available.

All laser systems operate on the principle of selective photothermolysis, in which light is preferentially absorbed in the hair shaft and follicle, without damaging the surrounding skin. Since the hair shaft and follicle contain more pigment than the surrounding skin tissue, they absorb more light, which causes the temperature to rise to the point of coagulation. The coagulation damages the hair follicle and prevents or delays regrowth of the hair from that follicle.
