Laser hair removal treatment is gaining in popularity these days, as this treatment is faster and significantly less painful than other methods, including waxing, electrolysis and shaving. Laser hair removal treatment can also eliminate the growth of hair in a particular area permanently.
In this procedure, the beam of the laser is concentrated on the area where the unwanted hair is growing. This way the hair follicles at the base of the hair are damaged and new hair is prevented from growing in the same area.

In the process of laser hair removal, you will find different types of lasers which are used in removing the unwanted hair.
The Ruby laser is one of the most common methods appropriate for hair removal, which is mostly used on people with light skin.
