When you undergo laser based hair removal you will have to go through various steps including first shaving and then cleaning the affected parts. Then, there will be an application of anaesthetic cream after which the laser is sent as pulsed beams which are loaded with light that will be absorbed by pigments in the follicles of hair that are touched by the beams of light. This will also result in some damage to follicles of hair around the affected area but will also ensure that no more hair will grow in the treated parts.
