What is the goal of laser hair removal?

The goal of laser hair removal is to inhibit hair growth by targeting hair follicles. This technique utilizes concentrated light beams (lasers) that are absorbed by the pigment in the hair. When the laser energy is absorbed by the hair follicles, it damages them, significantly reducing their ability to grow hair in the future. This method is both effective and long-lasting compared to other temporary hair removal methods such as waxing or shaving.

The focus on targeting hair follicles is what distinguishes laser hair removal from other hair removal techniques. The other options involve temporary methods or results that do not directly affect hair growth at the follicular level. For instance, waxing is a method intended for immediate hair removal without inhibiting future growth, while coloring hair and altering its texture, like making it curlier, do not address hair removal at all.
