A cooling gel may be applied to the area where unwanted hair is to be removed so that the heat generated by the laser light may not damage other areas of the skin. Laser hair removal works by having a ray of laser light directed at an area where there is unwanted hair. Once the laser pinpoints the hair (through its melanin or pigment) the laser light then enters the hair follicle and using the heat generated, destroys the hair root cells in the follicle while leaving the surrounding tissue intact.
