Understanding the way that laser hair removal works is quite straightforward. Highly concentrated light and heat is beamed into hair follicles, which in turn absorb the light and destroy the hair. At Leeds Laser Clinic, our professionals are able to precisely target hair follicles to achieve the best results, and in addition, leave surrounding skin untouched. Because hair follicles grow in several stages, with each session, the follicles become thinner and grow slower until they are completely destroyed
