What is the science behind laser hair removal?

Laser hair removal is backed by a rather simple science. When a patch of hairy body is exposed to laser, that part of the body—including the hair—is heated. When the hair heated, the heat moves down to the hair follicle. When the hair follicle is heated, inflammation occurs, and when inflammation occurs the body stops hair growth.
