Watch this Laser Remove Your Hair

The video clip below shows the action of a laser hair removal tool on a patch of skin. Each flash is a pulse of laser light. The laser cooks the hair just like popcorn;* you can even see the hairs become puffy. Shaving before the treatment means only the root will be cooked. As it cooks, the cells next to the hair responsible for its growth are killed, making you hairless for life! The brief flashes prevent any of the skin from accidentally getting burnt.

*In cooking popcorn, the microwaves heat the water molecules directly causing them to become trapped steam which expands the popcorn. The laser heats the melanin molecules, however, the heat still causes the water to turn into steam which is trapped causing the hair to expand.
