Laser depilation. This type of hair removal is very precise. The light from the equipment is monochromatic which makes it better absorbed by melanin. All the light particles go in the same direction through the hair ending up destroying the root. That is why the laser is much more accurate and effective.

The photoepilation is suitable for all skin types. Unlike the laser, its beam of light is polychromatic which makes it move in all directions and does not go directly to the root of the hair. Its main drawback is that if it is not used by expert professionals it can cause burns. More sessions are needed to destroy hair
